Dog Notes


The words "the world" is high lighted. CGM

The important item is missed "that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"

Justification by Faith

"God so loved the world that he gave his gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

GJ - The Wisconsin sect never tires of contradicting itself. The emphasis implied in bolding "the world" is difficult to parse. The Little Gospel is hardly a UOJ passage. But of course, there are no UOJ passages in the Bible or the Book of Concord, only here and there after the 19th century and in the yellowed dog notes of J. P. Meyer, Decision Theologian of the Sausage Factory.
