BIBLICAL EXEGESIS OF THE WORD “DIKAIOO” - JUSTIFY - MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN - PART 1



To obtain a proper exegesis of the word justified, justify or justification one would have to use the bibles' explanation as opposed to the translations given by the linguist who have doctrinal biases in their explanation. As a rule of thumb the bible explanation always supersedes the explanation given by scholastic sources of proving bible doctrine. Their explanation could be generally used but not 100 % of the times.
The word "dikaioo" is the word used in Romans 6:7 and is translated freed. Rom.6:6-7 tells us "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed (dikaioo) from sin." This explains a lot for being diakaioo from sin is not only to be understood to be freed from sin, for verse 7 further explains to us us, it is also to be understood as the crucifixion of the old man which is the unconverted old way of thinking or the old person who had sinful idol values in their mind. The result of this made righteous act of God is sinfreeness in the actions of the person. Hence the statement ' henceforth we should not serve sin". THAT IS JUSTIFICATION - MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN. The word dikaioo is also used in Gal.3:8 where we are told God "justify" the heathen through faith". Now understanding that justification is the death of the old man, all we have to do now is to examine the concept of the old man and new man as used by Paul in the bible to see the concept attends to idea of beings made righteous within. See Gal.1:17 -18 expresses the understanding that the converted person or justified person who sins afterwards has build again that which they destroyed (the old man). Eph.4:22-24 tells us "that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness".THAT IS JUSTIFICATION - MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN-. Furthermore Col.3:9-10 tells us "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:" THAT IS JUSTIFICATION -MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN. Then there is 2Cor.5:17-18 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. AND ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD."" THAT IS JUSTIFICATION - THE CRUCIFIXION OR DEATH OR THE PUTTING AWAY OF THE OLD MAN AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE NEW MAN WHICH IS RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHIN.

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 are

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,

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 right to heaven. It is the only merit we can claim.
