The Calvinist Doctrine of Justification by Faith Alone as an Unnatural and Inhuman Doctrine.

The Calvinist doctrine of justification by faith alone in Christ alone, by grace alone, is a doctrine which implies that justification is a grace and thereby a gift from God. And as justification is a gift from God, the gift infers the good will of God towards the elect. And good will implies a God who loves man and acts for the good of man. In short, the Calvinist doctrine of grace alone implies a God of love, who acts graciously towards man to justify the sinner as through an act of regeneration.

And yet Calvinism also teaches justification is by faith alone and not by faith and love, and not by love alone. Consequently, justification involves the justified sinner making an act of faith in Christ, whereby only faith justifies and love does not count towards justification. The Calvinist God acts from love to cause faith within the man, and the man need not respond with love, but only with an act of knowledge (called the instrument of faith) whereby Christ is known as the saviour by the justified man.

The Calvinist version of justification is false, for God's act of love towards man, to save man as a grace from God excludes an act of love from man, even though God's grace of regeneration causes love in man (Rom. 5:5). The grace that justifies as caused by God's love is naturally ordered towards man loving God above creatures as through the act of God regenerating man to restore man's will from a love of sin to love of the good. The supernatural ordering of grace of man to love God above all things is removed through the Calvinist doctrine of justification by faith alone. 

In short, God acts from love to cause men to love God above all creatures. But man's supernatural love of God above creatures is not required for the man to be justified. The Calvinist version of justification is an act of God's love, but only an act of human knowledge, even though human knowledge has a natural ordering towards love.

Conclusion - the Calvinist doctrine of justification by faith alone is a doctrine that cuts off the natural ordering of God's act of love to cause union with men through the mutual love of God and man. By excluding the human response of love from justification, the Calvinist doctrine of justification by faith alone reduces justification to a disordered and inhuman act of knowledge without the co-natural human act of love towards God. As Calvinism's doctrine of justification by faith alone is unnatural, the doctrine is false.
