I meant, "They [the UOJ Enthusiasts] don't speak in the terms or even ideas of [The Book of Concord]. That's what I meant to say.

GJ - UOJ is an alien philosophy, and it cannot be harmonized with justification by faith.
They are antagonistic about faith while abusing the term. That is because they look to Walther, who only had a bachelor's degree from a rationalistic university, as the greatest theolgian of the Lutheran Church. In contrast, Luther earned a doctorate in Biblical studies and was already a supervisor of monasteries before the Reformation began.
Walther was the equivalent of Paul McCain, a paucity of academic training and parish experience, a surplus of ambition. No wonder the copy and paste blogger defends Walther with such venom.
Walther's double-talk is widely copied today, so it must be effective. Stephan's son was a "Judas" for returning to Dresden to help and comfort his ailing mother. But Walther could visit the fleshpots of Europe to glory in his unethical and felonious usurpation.
