No Divine Distillery

Sharing Options

“Can we really detach Jesus from the merit of His obedience like this? I don’t believe so. This view . . . presupposes that merit can somehow be impersonal. If you believe that in the life, death and resurrection of the Lord, God was operating a divine distillery through which He extracted the merit of Christ’s obedience from that obedience, storing it in a separate container in a separate place, then you hold to the view of merit that the FV is rejecting. If you don’t hold that, there is no need to get irate and post a hot comment, because if you don’t hold that, we are not rejecting it.”
