Killing Us Softly with UOJ



This photo is the work of the Appleton blogger, who loves UOJ and Church Growth.
Pastor Tim Glende has not answered if he is the fake blogger and Anonymouse.


Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Bored-Again Lutheran":

Mr. Bored touches on an interesting fact. That Objective Justification as it's falsely confessed in the Lutheran Synods is not openly taught to congregations. When Pastor DP Buchholz necromanced it during a sermon it was the first I had heard it from him after two + years. And that, I believe, was prompted by Gurgle asking him to give his 2005 conference paper. It is, after all, one half of their central doctrine of faith. Something is rotten in Denmark. They are afraid to openly and publicly testify to the scope and breadth of this false teaching. They communicate it softly every now and then but it's seldom heard and caught by the few alert laity over the purring of the congregation. The majority of the laity have never heard the term or the full teaching - this we confess and this we condemn concerning UOJ. I seriously hope that Dr. Jack Kilcrease, if he can maintain his self confidence long enough, publishes a book on UOJ so that more people are exposed to everything that is being taught and confessed.

Mr. Bored, a good approach would be to take a copy of Siegbert W. Becker's Justification essay to your pastor and say, "Pastor XYZ, I've heard you confess your belief in Universal Objective Justification. Having studied this doctrine by reading our WELS This We Believe confession, DP Buchholz' 2005 Conference essay and SW Becker's often referenced paper (include Mark Zarling and H.A. Preus if applicable) I contend that it teaches another gospel than Scripture teaches, confuses Christ's atonement with the distribution of Christ's righteousness to the whole unbelieving world for the forgiveness of sins, destroys the faith given by grace of the Holy Ghost and so much more. Can we talk about this? I've brought SW Becker's essay as a good starting point since his defence of UOJ is also a defense of the Kokomo statements and a rejection of Justification by Faith alone."

A Pastor who is not in on the deception will be more than happy to talk about it. One who is complicit in the deception will be annoyed, arguementative and demeaning. That comes with the territory since the Christ, the Holy Ghost, God only dwells in His children who are heirs to eternal life through faith in Christ alone and confession of the pure doctrine of Justification by faith alone. The others do not have Christ because of a confession in a false gospel and are led by their father below - thus the violent reception to discussing Justification as taught by Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions.

You'll even find some who warmly welcome the discussion initially then when they realize the implications of what has been done with UOJ they will make a choice between Christ or men and the result will be reflected in their appearance and attitude.

In Christ,
Brett Meyer

GJ - Because the UOJ Stormtroopers are Antinomians, nothing is too low for them. Wherever they appear on the Internet, they are deceptive, vicious, and cowardly. Their lack of scruples is matched only by their bad manners. And yet they howl with faux-pain about anything truthful.
