Poor Argumentation from UOJ Stormtroopers


KJV Luke 11:22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.



Joseph Schmidt has left a new comment on your post "Syn Conference Caught Knapping - Origin of Missour...":

I printed off about 46 pages worth of comments (read about 26) at the Extra Nos blog about UOJ, and the UOJ theologians did not make a very good case for the entire world being absolved from sin without faith.

UOJ arguments:

  1. Confuse the atonement with justification by faith.
  2. Ignore the obvious refutation of their position in Romans 4:24-25, in all of Romans 4 and 5, while citing only one verse (Romans 4:25).
  3. Sidestep John's treatment of faith, especially John 3:18, while citing John 1:29.
  4. Criticize the Kokomo Statements while endorsing them.
  5. Limit their authorities to the Synodical Conference while refusing to acknowledge George Christian Knapp, the author of their folly.
  6. Deceive their audience about the novelty of their position, much like the Roman Catholic divines who claim the Church has always taught the Assumption and Immaculate Conception of Mary.
