The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Justification - A Process?

RCC apologist Sungenis says -

"Take, for example, my “cleverly deductive argument” that St. Paul chose David as his primary example of justification in Romans 4:4-8 because it was David whom God justified after he confessed his sins of murder and adultery."

TO avoid confusion, obviously WE believe that David was justified prior to his sin with Batsheba - but they are using Paul's words as proof that David was justified by GOd after his confession.

I'm with you on this - but how can we counter this. I've heard similar arguments used with Abraham as the example (I'll get back to you with some of those).

thanks!!!
