WELS church lady has left a new comment on your post "Faith According to Luther - And the Bible":
Good morning Pastor GJ. Let's make Luther's Catechism say somethong that it doesn't say. I hve before me a worn and torn 1956 Doctor Martin Luther's Small Catechism(Revision authorized by the Ev. Lutheran Joint Synod Wis. a.o.s.) No place, and I mean NO PLACE, is there a mention of objection or universal justification. Seeing as how the passages were diligently translated, we would not expect to see the two terms.
Now let us move away from 1956. One of the students that I drive was kind enough to let me glance at her Small Catechism book. Keep in mind that I only had a minute to glance! This is the blue colored book published by NPH and revised by Kuske. Revisions abound! In the glossary, under justification, is also says objective justification.(You don't find that in the old brown book) Understand, I did not have time to look at the pages that discussed justification. Truth and purity need to be restored to these books. What are we supposed to teach our children?
In Christ,
from WELs church lady

GJ - The LCMS is the same way. The 1905 Missouri catechism has not a word about UOJ.
KJV Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
