THE WORD IMPUTE USED IN THE BIBLE IS FALSELY USED TO SUPPORT A SAVED IN SIN DOCTRINE.

THE WORD IMPUTE USED IN THE BIBLE IS FALSELY USED TO SUPPORT A SAVED IN SIN DOCTRINE.
Lets examine the meaning of the word impute as translated from the Greek " logizomai". Remember originally when Paul and the disciples wrote the new testament they wrote in Greek as it was the language understood the most in the grand empire of Rome.
Using - The Complete Word Study Dictionary by Spiros Zodhiates in understanding the intended meaning of the word translated "impute" taken from the Greek word "logizomai" . We are told and I quote:
"Actually, the verb logizomai means to put together with one's mind, to count, to occupy oneself with reckoning or calculations "
End of quote.
Also using a lexicon available online I quote:
"Logizomai 4:284,536
Phonetic Spelling Parts of Speech
log-id'-zom-ahee Verb
Definition
to reckon, count, compute, calculate, count over
to take into account, to make an account of

1. metaphorically . to pass to one's account, to impute
2 (a) a thing is reckoned as or to be something, i.e. as availing for or equivalent to something, as having the like force and weight
(b) to number among, reckon with
to reckon or account
(c) to reckon inward, count up or weigh the reasons, to deliberate
3. by reckoning up all the reasons, to gather or infer
to consider, take into account, weigh, meditate on, to suppose, to deem, to judge
to determine, purpose, decide."

This word deals with reality. If I "logizomai" or reckon that my bank book has $25 in it, it has $25 in it. Otherwise I am deceiving myself. This word refers to facts not suppositions." 
Greek lexicon based on Thayer's and Smith's Bible Dictionary plus others; this is keyed to the large Kittel and the "Theological Dictionary of the New Testament." These files are public domain.

End of quote.
So the idea of God Imputing Righteousness to man to mean God putting Righteousness on an account outside of man while leaving him in sin was never the intent of Paul's writtings.
Though many times scholars in giving the meanings of words are influenced by their own personal uninspired opinion we the saints in the Spirit of truth are firstly to apply the principle of bible precept upon precept as our main premise in understanding the true intent in passages of the bible. This I have done in the post below on the topic of imputation.
I hope the material I have given would help all see the certainty of the word of truth and believe not in a saved in sin doctrine.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
