That is what it means to be raised immortal and incorruptible, I Cor 15 53-54.

It has been the Truth for 2000 years. If you can show any evidence that the Apostles believed differently and taught the first century Christians what I have been explaining was different, go for it. Second century Christians, Ignatius, Iraneous, Tatian, Theophilus, Athanasius, who wrote a...

Quite the opposite. Where did I state that man can do what Christ did? Can man raise himself from the dead? Can man perform a sacrifice for sin? Christ tasted death for all men, Heb 2:9, He will raise all men I Cor 15:53-54. He propitiated the sins of the world I John 2:2. The opposite of...

It could not be any other kind. It surely was not relational. Man/the world suffered death, dust to dust, due to Adam's sin. This mortality spread to all men. Man lost life, an eternal existence. This is precisely why Christ was Incarnated. He took on Himself our human nature, to do what...

They are not the same word, but they both have a same meaning. Regarding kikaioo is a Greek word, but the Latin translaters did not have a Latin word for righteous, thus thy used the legal Latin term to remove guilt. All western translations have used the mistranslated word and it became part...

They have the same meaning. Check your dictionary. Actually both have many meanings. It is the context that will determine what it means. I used this example before, you can reconcile or you can justify your checkbook with a bank statement. You are making them to balance or to be made...

No, that is exactly what II Cor 5:20 is saying. Just because you are so very confused on the whole topic. Christ accomplished the complete salvation of the world. I John 4:14, John 4:42. The only one that limits what Christ actually accomplished is your theory of limited atonement...

Yes, His work is finished. But what has that to do with my statement?

II Cor 5:20, Rom 4:2-3. Every time you ask for the forgiveness of sins, you are reconciling yourself to God. In Rom 5:1 Paul is using the word, justified, we are justified to God through our faith. Paul could have used the word, reconcile as well. The meaning is the same. Your belief justifies...

Context is everything. There is no explicit or implicit content of forgiveness of sins in Rom 5:18 and Rom 4:25. Yet the word "justification" is used. Stay on point. As I stated before what is being justified is "life", not the forgiveness of sins.

The topic is not about the reconciliation of man to God. It is about Christ's reconciliation of the world to God. In other words His Incarnation/death/resurrection.

Would not disagree. But the topic is completely different. It is NOT referencing the death and resurrection of Christ. This context is speaking about man's response to the work of Christ. Christ's work made this possible for mankind. Because of His sacrifice for sin, He is now our High...

What do you do? Just match words and assume they all have the same meaning? The word justification in Rom 5:25 is about Christ resurrection giving life. It is the same meaning in Rom 5:18. Justification to life. Has absolutely nothing to do with forgiveness of sin. Might have known that Calvin...

The topic we are discussing has no forgiveness of sins stated or implied. Christ accomplished two things by His death and resurrection. The primary work was to overcome death. Secondly, He made Himself the eternal sacrifice for sin. There is no forgiveness here either. Rom 5:`16,18...

The one thing you have correct here is that those Christ reconciled were justified. The words have the same meaning. However sins were not forgiven. Again reconcile, justify, made righteous does not mean forgiveness of sin. If you balance your checkbook with a bank statement are reconciling...
