You really understand “justification is by faith alone” and “justification by faith alone is possible” to be equivalent statements friendlier to the text?

[Springfield Reformer]

Yes, absolutely, the Reformation notion of a forensic justification with practical consequences is friendlier to the Biblical text, when taken as a whole, and not sliced and diced for polemical effect. But it is a meat doctrine, not milk for babies. It is too advanced a topic to be conducted in a spirit of false accusation. If it cannot be discussed in a spirit of love (in which false accusation can have no part), then why bother?

1Co 13:1-3 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (2) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. (3) And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
