One problem is they forget that we are talking about mysteries here, and that language is asked to do a task it can hardly bear, while reason is asked to do something analogous to the unassisted naked eye trying to count sunspots.
Obviously you've bought into the hype...
No mysteries...
There is no language barrier...
Reason has nothing to do with it...
Jesus died for our sins...ALL of them...We have become righteous in the eyes of God...
For us, the desert isn't just imputed moisture and fertility. It actually becomes moist and fecund, bringing forth seed for sowing and bread for eating. Justification, sanctification, merit, all these are gifts, not earned. But they are real gifts, not badges, tokens or changes of status.
A bunch of empty words...So how does your desert become moist if it was not imputed??? You worked it out on your own??? You provided the rain???
Imputation without actual rain doesn't make the desert fertile.
