UOJ Is Taking Out WELS and Missouri -
Not To Mention the Little Sect on the Prairie

Bad behavior? Our Martin Luther College president is a UOJ essayist!
Zarling is orthodox WELS.

I second that motion!

They say UOJ gives assurance of salvation, but if you need THAT much assurance that everyone last person on earth is justified, I say you've got some serious repenting to do, or you need counseling or psychological help.

I contend that UOJ is why few in the LCMS or WELS have a problem being scrooges toward seminary students and the seminaries. The LCMS has a $1.1 billion budget, and yet it cannot squeeze out a couple million bucks to help make seminary affordable. So then we end up with a half-educated clergy not knowing Hebrew, German, Latin, etc. Dare I say quarter-educated?!

The situation bring 1Ki 11:11 to mind. Here's a paraphrase:

So the LORD said to the LCMS and WELS and ELS, "Since this is your attitude and have not educated your clergy properly despite your $1.1 billion budget, I will most certainly tear the Kingdom of God away from you and give it to some other denomination and people on another continent."
