Subject: regarding sanctification |
Bible Note: Hi, Emmaus... The description of sanctification as "the increase of justification" is entirely a Roman one. (Indeed, no one would object if you stated that it was an affirmation found in Roman Catholic documents such as the decrees of the council of Trent.) You will not see this language in Eastern Orthodox literature; and it is explicitly repudiated by Protestant theologians in their writings, creeds, and confessions. Furthermore, a sound exegesis of the passages you cite would demonstrate that they do not lend credence to this relationship between justification and sanctification. In the next couple of releases on "theological terms," we will be looking at Scriptural definitions of justification and sanctification. Perhaps we will get to discuss it more specifically and Biblically then. In Him, Doc |
