UOJ Is the Ministry of Condemnation -
Lawless Legalists in Turmoil


The primary characteristic of UOJ Enthusiasts is constantly displayed on LutherQuest, the fake  copycat blog,  and Steadfast Lutherans, all three groups always hating on justification by faith.

Although UOJ pretends to be all grace, with everyone forgiven, justified, and saved before birth, their Satanic creed is really all law. But what a law! They have no need for the Ten Commandments, because they are Antinomians. They are lawless because no law applies to them, not even the basic rules of civil discourse.

They rush to pronounce forgiveness on a national staffer who swaps man-boy rape scenes with other felons. That was one of the first statements from The Love Shack. Joel Hochmuth was repentant (again) after being caught (again), so they absolved him of all guilt. Hochmuth's next move was to plead NOT GUILTY in court, and to have his lawyer lie about his case. It was just adult porn, he claimed. He just needed some counseling, he claimed. That all fits the UOJ scenario - the bigger the scandal, the quicker the cover-up.

But when individuals questioned their WELS pastors directly, which they are supposed to do, those members were excommunicated from three different congregations in three different districts. Was Hochmuth excommunicated? Was DP Ed Werner kicked out when he went to the Big House for his felonies against children in his own parish? Were Al Just and William Tabor given the Left Foot of Fellowship for murdering their wives? Both murderers were treated like princes by the WELS leaders, who did not want the truth to come out.

The UOJ Enthusiasts are just plain nasty all the time. But the sad thing about them is their treatment of each other. They are just as rude with their fellow fanatics as they are with believers. Paul McCain and Rolf Preus are UOJ die-hards, so they should be oozing with grace, at least for each other. McCain seems to take daily injections of UOJ, but he is famous for spreading his venom all over the Net. He is being blasted today on ALBP Online again, one of the few places where various opinions are welcome.

Because UOJ has no concept of the Gospel, only pure Enthusiasm, they are completely mixed up about the Law as well. They cannot discuss the Means of Grace or the efficacy of the Word because their mini-micro-dogma rejects both.

Tim Glende keeps proving the UOJ is the heart of the Church Growth Apostasy. Those are his two themes, either copying class notes about UOJ or copying the latest from Driscoll, Stetzer, Sweet, Groeschel, Stanley, and Beeson.
