“No. Imputed righteousness is a half measure. Christ didn’t die on the cross to give us a half measure. He didn’t bleed out His last sacred drop of blood to give us a half measure. The Father doesn’t pretend we are holy - which is what imputed righteousness really implies. Christ died so that we could REALLY become holy - not just be imputed to be holy or righteous.”
If Christ’s righteousness is not imputed on us, but rather, we actually become as holy as Christ, it does not explain Paul who, in chapter 7, deals with the constant sins of the flesh that he possessed, as well as the other verses which say that an inability to follow the entire law perfectly makes you guilty of the whole. If one is made guilty by the whole, then it does not follow that we can ever be holy in the sight of God by our own merits. Therefore, the only option is that the perfection of Christ is imputed on us, who are not perfect at all.
“If Christ’s righteousness is not imputed on us, but rather, we actually become as holy as Christ...”
And there you go making things up again. Please show me where I ever claimed “we actually become as holy as Christ...”.
If you can’t show me where I said that, then you’ll have to start over with your paragraph there. I see no reason to just let you keep making things up I never actually said. Protestant anti-Catholics might think it is moral to lie - that sure seems to be the case - but I see no reason to accept such thing.
