Another one, part two

One more thing.

For Osiander, the righteousness was not a legal status but a moral quality. This is again light years away from anything Lusk has taught. In fact, the Mississippi Valley Presbytery/Guy Waters Papal pronouncement is that FV is aberrant because it speaks of the righteousness we have in Christ as a shared status we get from him. So I’m not the only one who sees this. When Calvin condemns Osiander for saying believers are justified because an essentially divine righteousness is given to them, it isn’t because Osiander is speaking of a forensic verdict.
