Good Questions about World Justification


From a Reader:
Since it is an abomination to the LORD to justify the wicked and since we did not possess a righteousness of our own nor did we have the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, how or with what righteousness was the world declared righteous?

In the whole of Scriptures, not one single passage contains “justified the world” or “the world was declared righteous” or anything that one could clearly understand that a great general  justification happened (without faith), how is that possible for the “Chief Article of Christianity”?

At what point in time does a person justified during the great justification of the world become unjustified?

Was Abraham justified a second time during the great justification or was the first one in Genesis sufficient?

 WELS John Sparky Brenner writes about "The Justification of the World," but cannot write the words Justification by Faith. Instead, he writes "the individual appropriation of forgiveness."
Romans 5:1 - Sparky's Living Message
Therefore, since we have individually appropriated forgiveness, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Newest Sparky Version  - to boost sales in ELCA and the UUA:
Yo, since we know we were born forgiven of all sins, we have peace.

 "Surely you can see that in Romans 5:1!"

 Gideon wrote - "Today’s post was sensational!  Good questions, especially about Abraham. But the Wauwatosa Seminary ( cemetery?) almost made me spit out my pizza for laughing!



 No wonder the synods loathe Luther's Biblical doctrine.
Every single Luther document upsets their rotten applecart.
