"Someone sent Jeske a question last week, asking about what he meant by pre-forgiveness. He said he meant universal objective love. He did mention faith but it made no sense because he said we are already forgiven. Just a rehash of UOJ. The thing that I was shocked by was the term pre-forgiveness. I wonder where he got that new term?
We just keep moving more and more away from the Biblical terms and the Book of Concord.
YOU now have pre-forgiveness. My cats have pre -forgiven me even before I hurt their feelings."

GJ - I am not sure if Jeske is drawing his language from the prevenient grace of Arminians and Roman Catholics.
More likely he is simply recasting UOJ into elementary language, a staple of boob tube entertainment. Universal Objective Justification, as a phrase on TV, makes the lights go out. That effect is good in the synodical classroom, but alarming in mass media.
Universal love is so much better, and pre-forgiveness is the best thing since indulgences.
No wonder so many WELS pastors fall off the wagon and into bed with their members. They are pre-forgiven.
*He is so deep under cover that he is only known by a hexadecimal number, 29A.
