1 | Are the declared righteous righteous? | Matt 7:24 | McGracer | 54245 | ||
Please see my primary question concerning "declared" righteousness. The Holman Christian Standard Bible takes the liberty of defining the term for itself, much like the NIV defines "sarx" as sinful nature (although "sinful" nor "nature" is not in the greek whatsoever). Non-literal translations do this so that they can put forth there own "theology". For instance, if I decide that justification means "to pretend that someone is righteous", I can then translate like so: Ro 3:26 He presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and pretend that the one who has faith in Jesus is righteous also. Ro 5:1 Therefore, since God is pretending that we are righteous, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Ro 5:9 Much more then, since we are pretending to be righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath. And this is exactly what theologians mean when they say that we are declared righteous. They say that God says it is so, but it isn't so. Isn't His Word truth? McGracer |

New American Standard Bible 1Ti 6:4 he is conceited [and] understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about *words*, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 2Ti 2:14 Remind [them] of these things, and solemnly charge [them] in the presence of God not to wrangle about *words*, which is useless [and leads] to the ruin of the hearers. (Emphasis added.) |
