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.

Now Sending Out - Gems Mined from Luther's Sermons and the Complete Nine Volume Set

I am ordering Gems Mined for various people in the congregation, also for friends who take a great interest in doctrine.

I am also ordering the complete set - Eight Volumes of Luther's Sermons plus the Gems. All of them are illustrated by Norma A. Boeckler. The Sermons are in black and white; the Gems are full color.

It takes time to set up the book orders, so they have already begun and should be placed in the next three weeks.

The complete nine volume Luther set, at the author's price, is $70 with shipping and taxes.

The Gems Mined volume alone is $15 with taxes and shipping.

Those who want to order can send a check to 1104 Letha Drive, Springdale, AR 72762. PayPal works too.

The Kindle versions are very inexpensive but the later ones are not being listed - they are done. I am working on that now.

Our Seminarian Was the Lector on Sunday

 Zach's mom, Anita, the Ichabods, and Zach Engleman
posed with CFW Walther, Holy Land Tours.

Zach Engleman is a Professional Engineer and well along in his MDiv program. We discuss doctrine all the time. We drafted him to read the lessons for the Sunday service. He found out what it was like to have a chapel "in a spare room of a RENTED house" - quoting Paul T. McCain. He also enjoyed seeing how the broadcast worked on this side of the Ustream service.

More people are writing about their appreciationg of the traditional service and Luther's Biblical doctrine.
