Greg,
If one takes away objective justification doesn't it turn saving grace into gratia infusa?

Ichabodians, do you see what I have to deal with, day after day?
No one can take away UOJ from the Bible or from the Book of Concord. Nor from Luther, Chemnitz, Chytraeus, Andreae, Gerhard. UOJ is not there. UOJ was invented and promoted in the 19th century.
Now the ELS has the entire world saved.
That is why Bethany Seminary (ELS) should not hire a professor until he has at least earned a bachelor's degree. I know, that is a little tough, raising their academic standards so high.
Anonymous would say, "But then Moldstad would never have been hired to teach UOJ at Bethany Seminary. He did not have a bachelor's degree."
I rest my case.
The alternative to UOJ is justification by faith. Grace comes to us through the Means of Grace, God's appointed instruments of grace.

I think you misjudge your audience Greg. Sometimes people have a legitimate question which you could answer in a pastoral way instead of being such a [obscenity deleted]!!

GJ - I know who Rev. Mouse is. He revealed himself some time ago.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
