I believe that one can identify the source of Walther's Gospel Sermon's proclamation of the EASTER ABSOLUTION: John Gerhard (1582-1637): "As God punished our sins in Christ, because they were laid on Him and imputed to Him as our Substitute, so in the same manner He, by raising Him from the dead, absolved Him by this very act of our sins which had been imputed to Him, and thereby He absolved in Him also us" (quoted from Kurt Marquart, "Justification--Objective and Subjective," page 21 from Gerhard's commentary on Romans). Let us celebrate and proclaim the EASTER ABSOLUTION! |

A Lutheran pastor wrote this to me:
John Gerhard, An Adherent of the Easter Absolution
LQ logic strikes again. The quote obviously assumes faith. I am continuously impressed by the lack of theology being displayed on LQ. Whatever Gerhard's opinion is on UOJ, This quote doesn't speak to that.
I find that any level of quality in the discussions are rapidly disappearing from LQ. Classic internet forum deterioration is occurring - voluntary gatekeepers are preventing any discussion from occurring.

GJ - In Gerhard and all the orthodox Lutheran, imputation is only through faith.
