Dr. Lito Cruz on Pastor Rydecki's Essay



LPC has left a new comment on your post "Pastor Paul Rydecki - The Forensic Appeal to the T...":

I am so glad Pr. Rydecki wrote this essay which once again, sings our swan song - a song that we have been trying to convince UOJers. That is Atonement IS NOT THE SAME as Justification.

This again is another reformation but this time not in the RCC but this time in the Lutheran Church influenced by Huber through Walther.

During the time of the Reformers, the Reformers said that Justification IS NOT THE SAME as Sanctification.

Today we need the same spirit but this time we say ATONEMENT IS NOT THE SAME as Justification.

We have been telling UOJErs about this blunder, but in order to be freed from this fallacy, they need to study the Scriptures themselves and move to a neutral position for that is what is required in examining the evidence.

The real Calvinist is the one who equates ATONEMENT with JUSTIFICATION. The Lutheran JBFA believers distinguishes the two for the Scriptural data required it.
