bruce-church (https://bruce-church.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Bourman's Justification without Faith Essay":
As far as Chemnitz goes, I'm sure Bourman understands Chemnitz to say "atonement" when he says "reconciliation" and "justification," but Scripture says no man is reconciled to God, or justified, without faith.
Here's a question for the UOJers. Why can't you find one explicit UOJ reference where reconciliation and justification are equated with the atonement, and said to happen on Good Friday or Easter? Why do all the orthodox Lutheran authors only write in code? Were they trying to keep their UOJ doctrine a secret?
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.
