Theory of justification

I will argue that through the justification of memory, trust in others and testimony can also be justified. If we can logically defend believing in our own memories, the we should find the justification of the accounts of others along the way. The main points I will discuss will be the “dualistic theory”, the Reductionist Theory(RT), and other viewpoints from a more personal perspective. The “dualistic theory” helps to provide a degree of justification for the original belief and the act of remembering it. The degree of justification one has for a belief depends on the amount of justification one had in acquiring the original belief and also the amount of justification one has in the preservation of said belief. Another theory pertaining to…

Justification Justification by faith is the heart of the gospel. In order to fully understand the gospel, it is imperative to first fully understand the gift of justification and it’s glorious implications for us sinners. Justification by faith is what sets Christianity apart from every other belief system and religion. This subject however is no simple concept to grasp. There is nothing about justification that makes any logical sense, but rather it is only because of God’s radical love and…

Luther defends his doctrine of justification by faith and not works by quoting several excerpts from scripture, particularly the passage from John 2:27, 29, “This is the work of God: that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent, for him hath the Father sealed.” God ordained that all men should have faith in His works alone. This is the only way to be considered a virtuous individual in the eyes of God, good works alone do not sustain the soul. Good works do not make a man a good person unless he…

The system Justification theory is the tendency that people have to defend, rationalize and justify the current social, political, and economical state which everyone is in. In other words, it’s the degree of predilection that people are willing to go to in order to advocate for the status quoi and avoid any innovation. On the other hand, social identity perspective is the idea that a person’s self-esteem and worth is a result of their membership or relevancy to a certain group. In simpler…

Michael Jordan is one of the most notable basketball players in history. He 's retired now, but his name still gets brought up when people talk about great players. When he was playing professionally, he was always the first person to arrive at practice and the last person to leave. He always practiced the basics over and over again. He was a great player because he was someone who was devoted to practicing and there are similar stories about other great athletes. The only way someone gets…

boasting position before God. In the following verses, Paul tackles this subject even further by addressing circumcision, the very act that in the Jewish tradition yielded their favorable position with God. 3 In this verse, Paul once again begins with a question, but this time he turns his audience to the Scripture. Now he is confronting them with the words that they claim to live by. According to Moo, Paul was following Jewish custom by validating his case from a Scripture from the…

Martin Luther wrote the Freedom of a Christian in 1520. This work expressed the heart and soul of Luther’s treatise on Christian liberty in which he sets forth the essence of Christian faith and life. One of the main points in this treatise is Luther’s attempt to distinguish the different parts of the human person. His theory rests on the belief that everyone is made up of two parts; the inner spiritual person and the outer bodily person. Luther shows how the inner soul of a person is…

In order to accentuate our absolute our absolute dependence upon God’s grace, he now sharply rejected any suggestion of requisite good works or holiness prior to justification, characterizing all human efforts prior to saving acceptance by God as sin. However, it was not long before he became uncomfortable with implications that some drew from this theme of faith alone (Maddox 149). Wesley’s writing abound with affirmations of the provenience and indispensability of God’s pardoning / empowering…

Justification by faith produces the ultimate reconciliation between an infinite God and finite man. Nevertheless, a justification without reassurance could convey the idea of a time or action limited outcome. Without a guarantee that the announcement of being declared innocent could not be revoked, creates a situation that may strain the believers’ actual faith. Fortunately, Paul confirms that God’s act is not only fully satisfying it is also without bounds. Paul has previously established that…
