The Great Tangle, Mixing OJ and SJ with the Chief Article
Logically, the phrase subjective justification can only have
meaning if there is objective or some other kind of prior justification. Remove
“objective” from the justification equation, then subjective justification
becomes nothing other than sanctification, God’s work within the sinner to make
him a believer. That is the Roman Catholic position. If subjective
justification completely defines God’s justification of the sinner, then Christ
can be seen as the cause of justification, but not the one who completes it.
This can only be done by faith. If this is so, all theology is not Christology.

Justification by Faith is a mystery of the Christian Faith,
revealed by the Holy Spirit in the Word, not an exercise in logic, especially when
the terms are man-made, toxic, and misleading. Is it any wonder that David
Scaer publishes in partnership with Jack Kilcrease, born in a WELS parsonage,
educated at an ELCA college (Luther) and seminary (Luther)? Kilcrease teaches
at a Roman Catholic college and an ELCA online theology school, where Jay Webber
earned his STM recently.
