the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation,
at a special ceremony attended by several dozen members.
Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "As Predicted - Another Quitter - Or the Same Quitt...":
Interesting how when each Church Growth apostle attacks Ichabod they always attack Baptism, Holy Communion and the Holy Spirit's work through the efficacious Word. This last coward was the same way, mocking Baptism as though it was one way to damage Ichabod. What a shame and disgrace. Out of the fullness of their hearts they speak and act. It greatly clarifies the stated problems when they openly attack. It exposes their false doctrine and practice for anyone willing to test it against Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions (also funny to see how the false teachers and mini wolves hate to read anything of length and complexity ~ Luther or the Lutheran Confessions).

GJ - One of my regular readers said my posts made him angry, but he had to agree I was right when he read the comments.
I probably post more antagonistic comments than any other Lutheran blogger. The opponents prove my case. I linked Church and Change, but they do not link me. I link The CORE, and St. Peter's Freedom, CrossWalk, Willowcreek's Little College, Mary Lou College, The Sausage Factory, and many other sites. They do not reciprocate.
I am only too happy to quote people and refute them, offering their original links. Most prefer to attack anonymousely.

Posting comments from readers of blogs serves a similar purpose as letters to the editor. Both serve as thermometers indicating the health of the respective body (institution) under discussion.
I recall instances where the WELS and ELS magazines have deliberately falsified letters to blunt a point made or to twist the original point. When a layman asked Moldstad about UOJ, the letter became headlined as "How can someone question UOJ and call himself a Christian?" I know the layman who wrote the letter.
When a pest-blogger states the same thing repeatedly, to borrow a readership he has not developed, lacking both skill and wit, I block the comment.
Several failed blogs tried to prove UOJ, but those comments are gone now. I did notice the fake Ichabod still trying to promote UOJ. Did I mention the UOJ Stormtroopers are all Shrinkers? On the same page the fake Ichabod whines about the liar Valleskey being picked on. When Valleskey is done with UOJ, Law and Gospel, the tangled threads of his thought are best left alone - what a mess.
Here is the UOJ post. <--Mequon grads, left-click.
The fake, who is too scared to list his name, cites DP Buchholz at length. Buchholz is halfway there. At least he acknowledges the Means of Grace. He is still an Enthusiast because he separates the Holy Spirit from the Word.
Joe Krohn, a Church and Change fellow traveler, has posted his objections to UOJ.
Extra Nos quoted Krohn with approval. I think Joe is still stuck on the OJ/SJ categories, which were invented by Woods translating Knapp, but he has seen the basic problems.
Perhaps the Stormtroopers will take him to a re-education camp and enlighten him until he recants. I have seen that happen on LutherQuest (sic) with Heidenreich - really pitiful.

A perfect example of how the UOJists convert individuals to their confession of the central article of Christian faith can be found in a comment left on Luther Quest by Rev. Guillaume Williams on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 - 11:22am:
I realize this subject can be really headbanging. It took a fair amount of time for me to get it as well. That and about 10 confessional pastor that were attendies of the St. Michaels and Archangles conferences in the So. District. They were patient with me and my previously undiagnosed methodist leanings. But once I fully understood the end result of that theology I understood that it led to the uncertainty of my salvation. And it is the certainty of our salvation that drives all Lutheran theology mainly b/s that is the scriptures intent, that men can be certain that God is pleased with them and not angry with them on account of Jesus. No matter how much doubt I may have in that truth, faith can grasp hold of it and stand. It is objective truth. People go to hell b/s they don't believe the objective truth of Christ's saving work not b/s they haven't been saved by Christ. The rejection of UOJ leads to a limited atonement and election in view of faith not an unlimited atonement and an election being a cause of faith.

The statement that Pastor Jackson refers to that was quoting Heidenreich is this:
Posted by Dr. Erich Heidenreich on Wednesday, June 29, 2005 - 12:00 pm:
"Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I have returned from my long silence here on LQ to offer to everyone my sincere apologies, and to recant and repent of my long-time arguments regarding Objective Justification. I have studied much since our last marathon thread!
Please forgive me for my errors. I pray that my words did not lead anyone else into error. I identify my error as stemming from unconsiously troubling myself and others about what remains the secret counsel of God, trying to solve the mystery of election - "why some and not others?" Studying FC XI again in depth was especially helpful in ending my sinful search for the answer.
Then, in dealing for weeks with a loved one who was despairing due to the weight of the law and doubt over her own faith, I saw the true necessity and beauty of Objective Justification, though I never used the term. The objective truth of Christ's universal forgiveness has lifted the veil of tears from her eyes and given the peace the passes all understanding.
Finally, I desire to thank all of you, but especially Pr. Rolf Preus for his tireless correction of my errors here on LQ. Without his patient teaching, and that of my own wonderful pastor, Rev. Roger James, I would still be in grave error and not have had the true doctrine to offer to this loved one. Thank you, Pr. Preus, for staying true to the pure doctrine of the Word!
The Righteousness of Christ is objectively imputed to all people. I say that now without hesitation.
Sincerely,
Erich"

LutherQuest (sic) with Heidenreich
Indeed, the bullying is so obvious if one examines the posts at LutherQuest (sic)
