Elsie:
The notion of Imputed Justification is consistent with God covering man or declaring man justified [Covering was my term] as opposed to God’s pouring out his love into the Human person thru Grace [Infused Grace] such that Man is truly in communion with God. Loving someone means an outpouring of oneself towards some other. I heard one Southern Preacher one time on a TV station or maybe I read it in the Paper saying God declares us righteous and that when we die, are sin is so bad, God can’t look at us but looks away at Jesus and says ok, I declared you justified thru imputed Grace. Now, I am no expert on Protestant justification but by the way it was presented, that is how it sounded to me.
So I think the notion of covering of Grace is more of term that I used as opposed to the Infused notion of Grace in the Catholic System of Justification. Again, I don’t know all the protestant terminology used by Lutherans, Calvinist, Arminians, etc but that was how I took it.
I want some EVIDENCE from Scripture.
