From the Pastor -
Dear Tom,
Your unkind accusations betray the fact
that you are NOT a Christian. I have answered you
with direct quotes from the Holy Bible which you
persistently dismiss, again showing you are NOT a
Christian but are rather a person who mocks and
rejects God's Holy Word!
The entire world is forgiven IN CHRIST,
since God does NOT IMPUTE THEIR TRESPASSES unto them
(in Christ). Outside of Christ, that is, without
God-given faith in Christ, NO human being personally
receives the forgiveness of sins and salvation! That
is what the BIBLE TEACHES! If you have a problem
with it, take it up with the LORD who gave us His
Word!
I'll continue to pray that you
sincerely repent of your sins and believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and that you surrender your
thoughts to His thoughts as put forth in Holy
Scripture.
God's Word says: "Seek ye the
LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while
he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and
the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon. For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD. For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than
your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
(Isaiah 55:6-9)
In obedience to God's command, I
now drop this discussion, for I cannot cast the
pearls of God before swine.

Dear Pastor,
You must answer
my question!!! Does objective justification teach that God has already
justified the whole world without faith in Christ? The answer is
obvious, but you refuse to answer it because you are a deceptive and
dishonest pastor.
You teach God has already
justified the whole world without and prior to faith. In contrast I
teach and hold to justification by faith in Christ as taught by Luther,
Chemnitz, and Christ Himself. This is why you eagerly rush to
mercilessly condemn me to hell as a non Christian. You seek to destroy
my faith in Christ and my baptism in the name of God the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost. I am baptized and clothed in the righteousness of Christ
in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I am Christian
because God has clothed me in the righteousness of Christ in my baptism
in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. In contrast you
teach the whole world is in Christ and clothed in the righteousness of
Christ without faith and without baptism. I am in Christ and clothed in
the righteousness of Christ by my baptism in the name of God the Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost. Here in my baptism God gives me faith, makes me
His child, and clothes me in the righteousness of Christ in the name of
God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
"For ye
are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you
as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Gal 3:26,27
I
hold to this passage. In contrast you teach the whole world is already
in Christ and clothed in the righteousness of Christ without faith in
Christ and without baptism into Christ. You teach against faith in
Christ and against baptism into Christ. You teach another gospel not
found in the Word of God. You have fallen from grace. You are
completely unworthy of being a pastor.
"I
marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another ; but there be
some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But
though we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As I said
before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Gal 1:6-9
Pastor, you clearly teach another gospel not found in the Word of God.
God's Word teaches justification by faith in Christ. In contrast you
teach that God has already justified the whole world without faith in
Christ. The Word of God teaches we are in Christ and clothed in the
righteousness of Christ in our baptism into Christ. In contrast you
preach the whole world is already in Christ and already clothed in the
righteousness of Christ without faith in Christ and without Baptism into
Christ.
Pastor, you are completely
defeated. Your precious objective justification without faith in Christ
lies in a faithless heap. It is time for you to admit your defeat and
cease your hostilities against justification by faith in Christ, and
against baptism into Christ. Repent. Stop condemning true Christians who
hold to justification by faith and who cling to their baptism into
Christ in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
In Christ,
Tom
