One more time - The Chief Article is Justification by Faith. OJ is justification of the entire world without faith - the exact opposite. |

SP Harrison has perpetuated a fraud, publishing a Talmudic dogmatics book (two volumes) and a Small Catechism (400+ pages) that teach against the Biblical doctrine of Justification by Faith. |
On page 209 is the language of OJ without the term - OJ is also absent in the index. However, this work states:
"Both the active and the passive obedience of Christ have been credited to us and are received through faith."
Note the order - already credited (world absolution without faith) and are received (world absolution without faith agreed upon).
Another weasel phrase is correct by itself but used to prop up OJ - justification of the sinner. Edward Preuss' OJ book was The Justification of the Sinner: everyone is forgiven before birth. No really. That is a work of genius, according to Walther.
Here is the slide presentation. Clever? Keep the real agenda off the printed page and insert it through a PowerPoint.
•So objective [general] justification is forgiveness Christ won for all
(2 Cor. 5:19–21).
–His work is an objective reality —
salvation and forgiveness for the world is accomplished, independent of any
other human action or merit.
•And subjective [individual] justification is this same forgiveness as it is
received through faith by individuals (Gal. 2:16; Titus 3:3–7).
–The individual “subject” is
justified, born again.
