[P-Marlowe]

The Protestant teaching that Christ's perfect righteousness is imputed in some completely escaped even the earliest Christian theologians.

I guess you would not include the Apostle Paul in your list of early Christian Theologians, huh?

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (Romans 4:5-7 KJV)

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (Romans 4:5-7 KJV)

Logizomai is the Greek word used by the Apostle and it is translated as "impute" only in the politically-correct and protestant-tailored fraud known as the KJV.

In Greek, logizomai means to account or give credit to someone.

Again, you are giving me an out-of-context verse, failing to mention that Blessed David did not receive his righteousness without repentance.

Repent or perish! says Apostle Luke (cf Luk 13:5). There is no receiving grace without forgiveness and mercy, without repentance from the heart.
