Emmaus Conference, 2012



Brett Meyer:


"I have 50 copies of Justification by Faith, 40 copies of Jesus Priceless Treasure, 20 copies of Jesus Lord of Creation (attempting to offset CPH's promotion of evolution), 50 UOJ vs. BOC and Scripture printouts, 50 Catechism comparison printouts."


The retail value of the books given away is $2,000, made possible by gifts from members. I get bulk orders at wholesale and various people get free copies when they ask about doctrinal issues.


Luther versus the UOJ Pietists, Justification by Faith contains all the favored quotations in support of UOJ. However, the UOJ Stormtroopers pretend that there are no possible arguments against their precious theory.


All three book covers are by Norma Boeckler, who donates all her time for this work.

Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Emmaus Conference, 2012":

Final distribution tally is 19 Justification books, 15 Jesus Priceless Treasure and 5 Jesus, Lord of Creation books distributed at the conference.

Overall it looked like attendance was down from last year. I recognized all but 8-10 people from last year's Emmaus Conference. I had many great conversations with people interested in the Justification book. Most laymen and a few clergy had never heard of the Lutheran Synod's teachings concerning Universal Justification. One Pastor was stunned to see what was being taught. The Synod clergy quotes caused them to ask more questions and the removal of Huber over his UOJ teaching from Wittenburg University caused them to ask even more questions. Overall an excellent level of interest from laity and less from the clergy.

GJ - Brett reports that attendance was not impressive, which was no surprise with the theme being so uninteresting.
