Imputation study by Mr Pounds

ETERNAL, DOUBLE IMPUTATION No. 1 Definition of Terms Introduction, involved in the concept of eternal justification we find several related doctrines. I do not like the name eternal justification because it seems to limit the subject, and would much rather use the terms eternal, double imputation. Yet, I realize that this does not even convey the grand and innumerable glories of Jesus Christ as the Mediator in His actions for His Brothers and Sisters before all creation. Perhaps the best title for these doctrines that I know about would be Decreed, Eternal, Double Imputation. Let me define my terms:
By Decreed, I mean the purpose of God to impute and arising from imputing, to justify God’s little children, first in a decreed manner, not an actual manner; this decreed manner occurred before all creation, before the world began; the actual manner occurred on the Christ, the evidential manner occur in our minds when we receive the knowledge of our salvation by the remission of our sins;
By Eternal, I mean God’s actions done in pre-creative eternity, I do not mean eternal as we speak of God as an eternal Being;
By Double Imputation, I mean the Imputation of the sins of the elect unto Christ, and the righteousness of Christ to them. I do not believe the Scriptures to teach single imputation of the Righteousness of Christ to the elect without the imputation of their sins to Him first. Paul said: 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. The first act in Double Imputation is God the Father’s making Christ to be Sin For Us. I would also suggest that arising from Christ’s being our Sin Offering and our Scape Goat, we receive, or have imputed unto us, His very own righteousness. These are both sure and certain. Let me now state that I do not believe that Christ received our sins by impartation, or that He had Mary’s fallen and sinful nature, or that we receive Christ’s righteousness by impartation, but only by imputation. We partake of Christ and His Divine Nature by Union, and His Righteousness only by impartation.The Scriptures teach us that Christ was indeed made sin for us. The Holy Trinity made Christ to be sins for us two ways. First decretively, He stood before all creation as the Lamb Slain from the Foundation of the World. Secondly, actually when He died on the Cross and shed His Blood and secured our Actual Justification. On the Cross the Holy Trinity met with the elected family of God in Christ, their first such meeting since they fell in Adam and were thereby lost. What about those elect who were not alive when Christ died, and have been born following Christ’s death, were they actually justified by Christ on the Cross? Yes, justification is before God in this sense. Also, what about their meeting with the Holy Trinity in the Lord Jesus Christ when He died on the Cross? Yes by their union and standing in the Lord Jesus Christ from all eternity. I really do mean that the entire Trinity were in Christ when He died on the Cross, not by actual Being, but by Eternal and Trinitarian union. Jesus often said that He was in the Father and the Father was in Him. While He was on this earth, He was also in Heaven. But to return to double Imputation, let me note that Christ did die in a decretive manner before the foundation of the world, and in an actual manner on the Cross. I would ask what slew Christ decretively before and from the foundation of the World? Did not our sins slay Christ from and before the foundation of the world in a decretively manner? In my opinion YES. How can this be? The key here is understanding the Decrees of God and the certain fulfillment of those decrees. The Scriptures teach us that God often speaks of these things that are not yet, as though they were. There is no time zone with God. He is the eternal I AM, hence He spoke first in His decrees and then these decrees were manifested in this present evil world as they became worked out. The issue here with some may be, are God’s decrees certain? In my opinion all that God has decreed, and that is all inclusive though not the same way for all things, some to cause and some to permit, are all sure and certain and a part of His all inclusive decrees. I do not want to overload this glorious subject with too much in each of these short studies, so I shall conclude this first one now and hope to follow with the following:
When did Elohem partake of both Good and Evil?
Why Christ Did Become Incarnate, or can Abstract Deity partake of both Good and Evil?
The Absolute and Immutable Certainty of Double Imputation.
Christ’s Pre-Creative Actions to Justify the elect in Pre-Creative Eternity.
What did Christ Receive in Pre-Creative Eternity, the elect only, or the elect and their sins, or their sins only? In parting I want to ask this question as food for thought, If Christ received both the elect and their sins in pre-creative union, does this mean would be anything uncertain about the existence of the elect and their sins, or the Existence of the Incarnate Christ and His righteousness. I trust this subject of the Antiquity of Christ and His works as the eternal God-Man and Mediator, will continue to open up and enlarge further as we study together, Ron.
