Podcasts about Imputation

Our understanding of salvation rarely goes beyond our teaching in Sunday School.  However, without a proper understanding of the gospel, we risk limiting our growth in the kingdom.  Enjoy.

In chapters one through four the Apostle Paul revealed the Gospel of Christ. The two great revelations Paul made in Romans 1:16-18. First, the righteousness of God can only be attained through faith. Second, the wrath of God is revealed on all ungodliness and unrighteousness. A vivid picture is painted of man's ungodliness and how he is a slave of sin. We are taken to the courtroom of the Almighty where everyone is guilty before God. Beginning in chapter 3, verse 21, we are introduced to the righteousness of God. This righteousness can only be attained through faith in the provision God has made. We are introduced to several legal terms: Grace: God's unmerited favor Righteousness: God's standard of perfection Redemption: a price that is paid Justification: a judicial act of declaring debts forgiven Propitiation: satisfaction that a debt is paid Imputation: an accounting term meaning something was given Chapters five through eight introduce us to what God does in and through the believer once he is saved. A key word is RECONCILIATION. The believer is no longer an enemy of God but has begun a new relationship with his Savior. "Therefore, having being justified by faith...." We now see the great blessings that come from this justification.

The Bible tells us that we are blessed if God doesn't count our sins against us. But how could God do that? Join Pastor Colin as he talks about 2 things God has done for us.

Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about 7 Types of Imputation in the Bible in this in-depth bible study on the topic.

From Romans 1:1 to 3:20 Paul reveals the wrath of God upon all ungodliness. It is firmly established that we are all ungodly. Beginning in 3:21, and through the rest of the epistle, Paul expounds on the remedy, the good news of redemption in Christ Jesus. This good news is proclaimed to all, both Jew and Gentile, who believe. "But now" (3:21) God reveals His righteousness and how it can be attained by all who believe. There are several terms Paul introduces and expands upon in the following chapters: Grace: God's unmerited favor Righteousness: God's standard of perfection Redemption: a price that is paid Justification: a judicial act of declaring debts forgiven Propitiation: satisfaction that a debt was paid There is one more important word that Paul will introduce. Forgiveness of sin has been paid through the shed blood of our Savior. A child of God is forgiven, but he is not innocent. Then, how does one become "righteous?" The answer is IMPUTATION! "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted (imputed) to him for righteousness" (4:3).

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me today is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services.  Nikita: Hi everyone! Last week, we began our exploration of core AI concepts, specifically machine learning and deep learning. I'd really encourage you to go back and listen to the episode if you missed it.   00:52 Lois: Yeah, today we're continuing that discussion, focusing on data science, with our Principal AI/ML Instructor Himanshu Raj.  Nikita: Hi Himanshu! Thanks for joining us again. So, let's get cracking! What is data science?  01:06 Himanshu: It's about collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data to uncover valuable insights that help us make better business decisions. Think of data science as the engine that transforms raw information into strategic action.  You can think of a data scientist as a detective. They gather clues, which is our data. Connect the dots between those clues and ultimately solve mysteries, meaning they find hidden patterns that can drive value.  01:33 Nikita: Ok, and how does this happen exactly?  Himanshu: Just like a detective relies on both instincts and evidence, data science blends domain expertise and analytical techniques. First, we collect raw data. Then we prepare and clean it because messy data leads to messy conclusions. Next, we analyze to find meaningful patterns in that data. And finally, we turn those patterns into actionable insights that businesses can trust.  02:00 Lois: So what you're saying is, data science is not just about technology; it's about turning information into intelligence that organizations can act on. Can you walk us through the typical steps a data scientist follows in a real-world project?  Himanshu: So it all begins with business understanding. Identifying the real problem we are trying to solve. It's not about collecting data blindly. It's about asking the right business questions first. And once we know the problem, we move to data collection, which is gathering the relevant data from available sources, whether internal or external.  Next one is data cleaning. Probably the least glamorous but one of the most important steps. And this is where we fix missing values, remove errors, and ensure that the data is usable. Then we perform data analysis or what we call exploratory data analysis.  Here we look for patterns, prints, and initial signals hidden inside the data. After that comes the modeling and evaluation, where we apply machine learning or deep learning techniques to predict, classify, or forecast outcomes. Machine learning, deep learning are like specialized equipment in a data science detective's toolkit. Powerful but not the whole investigation.  We also check how good the models are in terms of accuracy, relevance, and business usefulness. Finally, if the model meets expectations, we move to deployment and monitoring, putting the model into real world use and continuously watching how it performs over time.  03:34 Nikita: So, it's a linear process?  Himanshu: It's not linear. That's because in real world data science projects, the process does not stop after deployment. Once the model is live, business needs may evolve, new data may become available, or unexpected patterns may emerge.  And that's why we come back to business understanding again, defining the questions, the strategy, and sometimes even the goals based on what we have learned. In a way, a good data science project behaves like living in a system which grows, adapts, and improves over time. Continuous improvement keeps it aligned with business value.   Now, think of it like adjusting your GPS while driving. The route you plan initially might change as new traffic data comes in. Similarly, in data science, new information constantly help refine our course. The quality of our data determines the quality of our results.   If the data we feed into our models is messy, inaccurate, or incomplete, the outputs, no matter how sophisticated the technology, will be also unreliable. And this concept is often called garbage in, garbage out. Bad input leads to bad output.  Now, think of it like cooking. Even the world's best Michelin star chef can't create a masterpiece with spoiled or poor-quality ingredients. In the same way, even the most advanced AI models can't perform well if the data they are trained on is flawed.  05:05 Lois: Yeah, that's why high-quality data is not just nice to have, it's absolutely essential. But Himanshu, what makes data good?   Himanshu: Good data has a few essential qualities. The first one is complete. Make sure we aren't missing any critical field. For example, every customer record must have a phone number and an email. It should be accurate. The data should reflect reality. If a customer's address has changed, it must be updated, not outdated. Third, it should be consistent. Similar data must follow the same format. Imagine if the dates are written differently, like 2024/04/28 versus April 28, 2024. We must standardize them.   Fourth one. Good data should be relevant. We collect only the data that actually helps solve our business question, not unnecessary noise. And last one, it should be timely. So data should be up to date. Using last year's purchase data for a real time recommendation engine wouldn't be helpful.  06:13 Nikita: Ok, so ideally, we should use good data. But that's a bit difficult in reality, right? Because what comes to us is often pretty messy. So, how do we convert bad data into good data? I'm sure there are processes we use to do this.  Himanshu: First one is cleaning. So this is about correcting simple mistakes, like fixing typos in city names or standardizing dates.  The second one is imputation. So if some values are missing, we fill them intelligently, for instance, using the average income for a missing salary field. Third one is filtering. In this, we remove irrelevant or noisy records, like discarding fake email signups from marketing data. The fourth one is enriching. We can even enhance our data by adding trusted external sources, like appending credit scores from a verified bureau.  And the last one is transformation. Here, we finally reshape data formats to be consistent, for example, converting all units to the same currency. So even messy data can become usable, but it takes deliberate effort, structured process, and attention to quality at every step.  07:26 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest technology. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

That's education.oracle.com/race-to-certification-2025. 08:10 Nikita: Welcome back! Himanshu, we spoke about how to clean data. Now, once we get high-quality data, how do we analyze it?  Himanshu: In data science, there are four primary types of analysis we typically apply depending on the business goal we are trying to achieve.  The first one is descriptive analysis. It helps summarize and report what has happened. So often using averages, totals, or percentages. For example, retailers use descriptive analysis to understand things like what was the average customer spend last quarter? How did store foot traffic trend across months?  The second one is diagnostic analysis. Diagnostic analysis digs deeper into why something happened. For example, hospitals use this type of analysis to find out, for example, why a certain department has higher patient readmission rates. Was it due to staffing, post-treatment care, or patient demographics?  The third one is predictive analysis. Predictive analysis looks forward, trying to forecast future outcomes based on historical patterns. For example, energy companies predict future electricity demand, so they can better manage resources and avoid shortages. And the last one is prescriptive analysis. So it does not just predict. It recommends specific actions to take.  So logistics and supply chain companies use prescriptive analytics to suggest the most efficient delivery routes or warehouse stocking strategies based on traffic patterns, order volume, and delivery deadlines.   09:42 Lois: So really, we're using data science to solve everyday problems. Can you walk us through some practical examples of how it's being applied?  Himanshu: The first one is predictive maintenance. It is done in manufacturing a lot. A factory collects real time sensor data from machines. Data scientists first clean and organize this massive data stream, explore patterns of past failures, and design predictive models.  The goal is not just to predict breakdowns but to optimize maintenance schedules, reducing downtime and saving millions. The second one is a recommendation system. It's prevalent in retail and entertainment industries. Companies like Netflix or Amazon gather massive user interaction data such as views, purchases, likes.  Data scientists structure and analyze this behavioral data to find meaningful patterns of preferences and build models that suggest relevant content, eventually driving more engagement and loyalty. The third one is fraud detection. It's applied in finance and banking sector.  Banks store vast amounts of transaction record records. Data scientists clean and prepare this data, understand typical spending behaviors, and then use statistical techniques and machine learning to spot unusual patterns, catching fraud faster than manual checks could ever achieve.  The last one is customer segmentation, which is often applied in marketing. Businesses collect demographics and behavioral data about their customers. Instead of treating all the customers same, data scientists use clustering techniques to find natural groupings, and this insight helps businesses tailor their marketing efforts, offers, and communication for each of those individual groups, making them far more effective.  Across all these examples, notice that data science isn't just building a model. Again, it's understanding the business need, reviewing the data, analyzing it thoughtfully, and building the right solution while helping the business act smarter.  11:44 Lois: Thank you, Himanshu, for joining us on this episode of the Oracle University Podcast.

A @Christadelphians Video: The Atonement is one of the most amazing themes of the Bible, for it is "the power of God unto salvation". God reveals His wisdom and love for us in providing the Lord Jesus Christ who would not only uphold His righteousness, but be the basis for our forgiveness and redemption. Yet all of this must be more than just a set of principles - rather it must compel us as believers to develop the character and spirit of our Father. In a series of 8 studies, we look at four frames to discover the moral imperatives of the Atonement - The Bad News, The Good News, The Great News and the Amazing News. Study 6 - The Great News: Made the Righteousness of God in him (Part 2). God's superabounding grace has meant that we now have access, through Christ, into His very presence. Being clothed in righteousness the grace of God teaches us to live Christ, and so be part of him and his glory. SummaryThe video explores the moral imperatives of God's atonement, highlighting how faith in Christ's righteousness justifies and transforms believers.Highlights✝️ **Righteousness by Faith**: God's righteousness is granted through faith, not by works.

In this episode, we discuss how Christ's righteousness is imputed to believers, fulfilling the rigorous demands of the law.

Justification is Yahweh's imputation of that righteousness which His righteousness rightly requires Him to require of us. Imputation simply means that Yahweh credited us with Yahshua Messiah impeccable righteousness the moment we trusted Him as our Saviour.Since justification is solely by faith alone in Yahshua Messiah alone and by grace alone, should we not expect it to be challenged historically; that is, again and again as time goes by? Let me state that another way: if there is only one way for a man to be just before Yahweh, would you not expect challenges to that truth? There are two sides to the gospel, the good news of the New Testament: an objective side (relies on factual evidence that can be proven right or wrong.) and a subjective side (information is based on personal feelings, tastes, or opinions). The objective content of the gospel is the person and work of Yahshua Messiah—who He is and what He accomplished in His life. The subjective side is the question of how the benefits of Yahshua Messiah's work are appropriated to the believer. There the doctrine of justification comes to the front.The Reformers believed and taught that we are justified by faith alone. Faith, they said, is the sole instrumental cause for our justification. By this they meant that we receive all the benefits of Yahshua Messiah' work through putting our trust in Him alone.We have been exploring the significance of Justification. Is it by Faith Alone or as the Roman Catholic Church tells us that Justification includes Baptism and other rituals?In our last study we looked at Paul as he had to set Peter and other disciple's straight there in Galatians. In today's study we are going to take a look into the writings of James.In this part of the Justification study, I will attempt to show from the text and context:That the faith spoken of in James 2:14ff is always the faith of a Christian, not the initial faith of an unsaved sinner in response to the Gospel, nor simply an "intellectual" faith that does not save.That in reference to this faith, James is not addressing the eternal destiny of his readers, rather their effectiveness and productivity in this life.That James' intention is practice: he is encouraging Believers to practice their faith via good works.That Believers dare not minimize good works, nor make them irrelevant.That James and Paul are in complete agreement that…justification (forensic/heavenly) before Yahweh is by faith alone in Yahshua Messiah alone, and,Justification (practical/earthly) before men is by faith-life-produced works.This section of Scripture, James 2:14-26, is used by Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. to support the idea that works are necessary for salvation.James begins this topic by distinguishing between true faith and false faith.True faith is fiduciary. Mere mental acknowledgment is ascentia. Fiduciary is a heartfelt trust in someone or something. Ascentia is mental acknowledgment, intellectual awareness of the existence of something – the way the devil acknowledges Yahweh's existence.True faith (fiducia) has works. False faith (ascentia) has no works.We behave based on what we believe. So, we can tell what is in a person by what he or she does or says.Matthew 12:34, “You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”This is why it says2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Yahshua Messiah, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”Galatians 5:22–23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”Have any questions?

It became distorted in the centuries leading up to the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. It became distorted at countless other points of church history, and it is often distorted today. This is why Martin Luther said the gospel must be defended in every generation. It is the center point of attack by the forces of evil.

Faith, they said, is the sole instrumental cause for our justification. By this they meant that we receive all the benefits of Yahshua Messiah' work through putting our trust in Him alone.In the beginning of this study, I wanted to demonstrate that Peter and the Eleven Apostles maintained a very narrow, narrow-minded view of the candidates who could be justified. They went to Jews, witnessed to Jews, and preached only to Jews. This went on for about ten years!  Folks there are nothing new under the sun. Just as Paul had to fight off the deception in his day, we also must fight off the false teachings of today.In this Part 2 of this study, I will focus on:  A    Paul and his dealings with those false brethren as they attacked Titus and their concerns that Titus wasn't circumcised.THE PROBLEM: false brethren, unsaved Jewish legalist, sought in the church in Jerusalem to undermine the Gospel by insisting that Gentile believers be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses in order to be saved. Luke quotes them in Acts 15:1 as saying, "Except you be circumcised after (or in accord with) the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved."THE FOCUS: Titus, a Greek (Gentile) believer and companion of Paul, upon whom the legalist sought to impose circumcision.THE REAL ISSUE: The truth of the Gospel!B   Peter at Antioch, when Peter seen the Jews, he basically threw the Gentile believers under the bus! On this occasion Paul had to set Peter straight.THE PROBLEM: While in Antioch, Peter took his meals with Gentile believers. He ate what they ate… ham and eggs, pork chops and the like… until certain Jews, no doubt professing believers, arrived from Jerusalem, having been sent by James. Upon their arrival, Peter dishonestly separated himself from the Gentiles and became involved in further in hiding his feelings with them. Even Barnabas was drawn into their perverted practices and attitudes that were inconsistent with the truths associated with justification by faith. The text states that Peter like a chameleon adjusted his modesty because "he feared them which were of the circumcision." (v.12) Fear can make cowards of us all. THE FOCUS: Peter's attitudes, his lifestyle, and his walk, along with the subtle emphases of the legalistic travelers from Jerusalem. THE CRITICAL ISSUE: "They walked not uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel." (v.14) In other words, their legalistic attitudes and practices were such that they subverted the truth of the Gospel, which in context is the truth of justification by faith alone in Yahshua Messiah alone plus nothing!    Have any questions?

The subjective side is the question of how the benefits of Yahshua Messiah's work are appropriated to the believer. There the doctrine of justification comes to the front.Many issues were involved in the Reformation, but the core matter, the material issue of the Reformation, was the gospel, especially the doctrine of justification. There was no great disagreement between the Roman Catholic Church authorities and the Protestant Reformers about the objective side. All the parties agreed that Yahshua Messiah was divine, the Son of Yahweh and of the Virgin Mary, and that He lived a life of perfect obedience, died on the cross in an atoning death, and was raised from the grave. The battle was over the second part of the gospel, the subjective side, the question of how the benefits of Yahshua Messiah are applied to the believer.The Reformers believed and taught that we are justified by faith alone. Faith, they said, is the sole instrumental cause for our justification. By this they meant that we receive all the benefits of Yahshua Messiah' work through putting our trust in Him alone.The Old Testament clearly taught that salvation would come to the Gentiles (Isa.49:6; 42:1; 62:2; Jerm. 16:19) Yahshua Messiah reaffirmed this truth several times to His disciples (Luke 2:32; Matt. 8:10, 11; John 10:16), but they insisted on interpreting all this teaching through Jewish glasses that filtered and distorted its significance. Nowhere is their narrowness more apparent than in their understanding and application of what is called "The Great Commission."The Great Commission… was given twice: once in Galilee, Mt. 28:16-20; then a second time near Bethany, Acts 1:8;was directed in both instances to the Apostles, the Eleven, Mt. 28:16; Acts 1:2-4; was/is specific in its scope: that is, you are to "disciple all people/nations,” (ethne/ethnos) "you shall be witnesses unto me…unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Not just to Jews, not just to one ethnic people, not just limited to the borders of the Jewish State, but to all!Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

“Imputation” simply means “assignment” or “reckoning.” But when we speak about the imputation of our sin to Jesus on the cross, we're referring to the act in which God assigned the guilt of sinners to the person of Jesus.

Romans 5:18-19

In this episode, we dive into the doctrine of imputation, which connects to the very nature and character of God. Imputation wouldn't be possible without propitiation, substitution, and reconciliation. The study reflects on how all the Old Testament saints looked forward to the cross, while New Testament believers look back at it. Imputation means that all our sins were placed in Christ's account, and when we receive Him, His righteousness is credited to us. We explore scriptural references like 2 Corinthians 5:21, where Christ becomes sin for us, and Ephesians 2:8-10, where we see how God's grace made us His workmanship. The episode also covers the symbolism of the burnt offering in Leviticus 1, representing propitiation with fire symbolizing judgment and wood representing humanity. Finally, we are reminded of the Holy Spirit's role in our lives, as 1 John 2:20 mentions the unction we have from Him, emphasizing the power of being born again and receiving the righteousness of God.Scripture References2 Corinthians 5:21Ephesians 2:8-10Leviticus 1Genesis 3:15; 22:81 John 1:1-4; 2:1; 2:201 Peter 2:11Acts 2:1-4

Today on NoCo, we listen in to the continuation of a message that Pastor Mike recently preached at Bethlehem Bible Church in West Boylston, MA on the three imputations from Romans 5:12-21 Pastor Mike preaches verse-by-verse, so please open up your Bible to Romans 5:12-21. By no personal fault of your own Adam sinned and God credits your account with that sin; and by no personal merit or work of your own Jesus Christ lives righteously and through faith alone credits His righteousness to you. For the definition of imputation turn to Philemon 18: If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. Imputation means to count it toward someone else (to credit it to someone else). This is important because this is the way God does things in the world-this is a Biblical truth. Three Biblical Imputations: 1. Adam's sin was imputed to all of his decedents 2.Christ, though not a sinner, has our sins credited to His account-this is the concept of substitution.
