Luther's Diamond:
Unbelief a Sin, The Foundational Sin - Not the Foundation of Universal Objective Justification - Timid Universalism

Luther, Sermons, 8 vol, ed. Lenker, III, p. 111. Fourth Sunday after Easter. John 16:8-10.

  • SP Mark Schroeder is not a Lutheran, because he and the Intrepids claque support UOJ, contra Luther and the Book of Concord.
  • Pope John the Malefactor is not a Lutheran, because he is just as bad as WELS, but also believes in His own infallibility.
