Steadfast Enthusiasts
His Holiness spoke from his blogging throne in the guest bedroom:
"The ironic thing is that in spite of all Jackson’s alleged scholarship, he actually never received a solid Lutheran theological education, and that shows in all his weird rants and ravings. A shame he has gathered a tiny little band of Internet followers around him. Deceiving and being deceived."
McCain, as a young MDiv, asked me to review Kurt Marquart's book on the Church - in Christian News. When the review appeared, he wrote back with great happiness that the book was selling like hotcakes as a result.
McCain was quite willing to review my Liberalism: Its Cause and Cure - for Christian News. He was quite positive about it. I could also quote from his letters when he was campaign manager for Al Barry and Secret-Agent-Man at Christian News.
I do not know what made him become so rancid at such an early age - not to mention what caused his appalling loss of memory.
I also studied at his alma mater, taking classes with Klemet Preus and David Scaer. I attended lectures by Robert Preus and Kurt Marquart. Marquart and another professor (at St. Louis) wrote positive reviews of Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant.
Most people know that, but McCain's grasp of basic facts is slipping. He constantly reads this blog, as do others who need edification but only find reason to be even more bitter and hateful. I do not understand it.
McCain is not qualified to teach in higher education. He knows that, but has never done the work required to make him a qualified scholar. A PhD is recognition of proven scholarship, not an allegation of scholarship.
McCain has never really served a parish, since his first and only parish job was just a cover, so he could get DP Al Barry elected in place of Ralph Bohlmann. Since then he has successfully dodged a congregational call. That makes him a "pastor," a shepherd without a flock, and an expert in theology? He is the only editor I know who had a Book of Concord recalled by his own denomination - for gross defects.

Read Rev. Paul McCain's rants on the BJS Justification thread. His opening salvo was a spit filled personal attack. He continually goaded myself and Lito Cruz to talk about the distribution of Holy Communion at Bethany Lutheran Church. I answered his question with a series of my own questions trying to narrow down his main concern. His response was another hate filled attack at Pastor Jackson.
Was all of that a fruit of faith?...not a chance. Some people who do not have the Holy Spirit's faith in Christ do not go out with a wimper, they go out snarling like a rabid chipmunk.
UOJ is evil. It is a false gospel spawned in the heart of reason by men, who rejected the Holy Spirit's gracious and reassuring faith in Christ alone, created to establish their full absolution and righteousness without faith. OJ and SJ were simply terms used to limit the omnipotent declarations of God and change the righteousness of Christ in the Holy Spirit's faith into a withered beggars hand.
