>>Lenski too believed in Objective Justification, but he used different terms That was always my impression too, which would explain how this didn't drastically warp his overall teaching. However, I have had pastor friends argue quite vociferously that Lenski should be shunned, for his position on this as well as what seem to be chiliastic tendencies some places in his New Testament Commentary |
GJ - Tis funny how these superficial Enthusiasts want to enroll their superiors in the Hall of Objective Justification Numbskulls.
Jay Webber, a typical Ft. Wayne graduate, gave Martin Luther a membership.
Lenski's family was part of the very large group that left Pope Walther behind, with CFW's Calvinistic Election without Faith backing up his Calvinistic Justification without Faith.
No, Lenski never taught OJ. He wrote, rather succinctly, "No one is forgiven without faith."
I think Lenski's language was rather loose in his effort to make the OJists see the light; hence his use of "objective reconciliation."
I use Lenski all the time, and our group has produced a complete set of free Lenski PDFs.
The free Lenski PDFs and other resources can be found here.
Putting Your Finger on Gut Feelings!

Yes, Pastor Vogts, you are putting your finger on the gut feeling I have about the position of ELDoNA and GJ: they interject a gap between Christ's atonement and its appropriation by faith. Paul Rydecki's watershed paper that paved his way into ELDoNA, "Forensic Appeal to the Throne of Grace," gives one the impression that there is an unpredictable interval between my appeal to the throne of grace, and God's answer. One has the suspense of waiting to see if God will forgive me. |
