We Found Another Proof for Universal Objective Justification! But Their Proofs Betray Them.

 We found another proof for Universal Objective Justification!

Wingate Barraclough - "No individuals as individuals are justified in the “objective” sense except for Jesus. Jesus suffered and died as the representative of all humanity, and was condemned by God the Father on behalf of all humanity. In Christ’s condemnation, all humanity was vicariously condemned. On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead – still as the representative of all humanity – and was, in his resurrection, thereby vindicated and justified by God the Father on behalf of all humanity. In Christ’s justification, all humanity was vicariously justified. This is the completed gospel that is now proclaimed, delivered, and applied to penitent sinners, in and through the means of grace; and that is received by them, individually, by faith alone."

 ELS OJ salesman Jay Webber quoted Rambach against Chemnitz. Webber mistakenly dubs all OJ advocates as "orthodox Lutherans." When will they merge with the OLCC?

I am not sure who is being quoted by Barraclough, above, but it does serve to show the flawed, rationalistic arguments promoted by UOJ, especially through that old Calvinist-Lutheran-Calvinist Samuel Huber and by Rambach, a representative of the Easter OJ faction (see Bishop Stephan, STD and his OJ student, Walther).

As I wrote before, the Easter absolution of the world, without faith, rests upon foolish exegesis of Romans 4:25 (excluding verse 24) and 1 Timothy 3:16, which is about Jesus not "the Justification of the World" (John Sparky Brenner).

Barraclough's quotation is a tangle of false assumptions, but the Bible is so clear, everyone but a Synodocrat can understand it.

1. The universal Greek Old Testament (Septuagint) renders the Justification of Abraham by Faith using the same Greek word as Paul employed in Romans 4.
2. Spoiler - Romans 4 is all about Justification by Faith, not Halle's Easter absolution of the world.
3. That common word in point #2 is translated as counted, imputed, or reckoned. 
4. Abraham believed the Promise of God, that his son would begin the line leading to the Messiah, "and it was counted as righteousness." He was Justified by Faith - not the whole world, Abraham.
5. Paul built upon this, through the Holy Spirit, arguing that it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; "But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." KJV
6. Paul summarized chapter 4 as a transition for explaining how gracious God is, leaving no doubt that there is but one Justification - Justification by Faith.
7. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
