Robert Sungenis vs. R. Scott Clark on David's Justification in Romans 4:5-8


But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."
(Rom 4:5-8, NASB)

In my blog post King David Refutes Reformed Soteriology I discussed, with the aid of helpful  comments from Not by Faith Alone (2d ed; 2009) by Robert Sungenis that, in Paul's theology, David lost his initial justification due to the commission of grievous sins (i.e., adultery with Bathsheba; murder of Uriah the Hittite), and had to be re-justified.

Sungenis just uploaded his sound refutation of a Calvinist's attempt to get around the theological implications of Rom 4:5-8, R. Scott Clark of Westminster Theological Seminary (Escondido).
