Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "The Waltherian Spin on the Election Strife":
Manipulating Lutherans have been deceiving their flocks by spinning stories in their favor since the beginning.
Another spin is the deceptive statement that the Lutheran Confessions do not address the false gospel of Universal Objective Justification (UOJ) because the BOC was written to address the Works Righteousness doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. The spin says that obviousely the focus would be on "Subjective Justification" (SJ). It's hard to believe that so many people could fall for such an absurd assertion -that the Lutheran Confessions did not deal fully with the Chief Article of Christ's doctrine.
The truth is that the RCC would oppose UOJ even more than SJ alone because it teaches the whole unbelieving world was declared forgiven, justified and righteous by God without and before faith in Christ. Doubly offensive to justification by works.
The advantage the Lutheran heretics have is that they've established schools that teach such drivel in their school systems. Christian discernment is beaten out of the kids early on with Holy Mother Synod worship and institutional authority. Compound that with the (W)ELS paying Kuske to forfeit his soul and edit UOJ into the Catechism. All they need now is a Bible translation that clearly states what they've been reading into it all along...wait, the NNIV does that.

GJ - The Naughty NIV has turned a perfectly clear translation (Genesis 4:1) into soft-core porn, and added another "all" to claim that all have sinned and all (sic) have been justified.
The NNIV is being promoted by The Sausage Factory because WELS turned mainline a long time ago. The translation has to catch up with the agenda.

One can see that UOJ and SJ are just Calvinism sandwiched together with Lutheranism. The OJ is Calvinism and SJ is Lutheranism, except that Calvinism is its own system and is not compatible with the Biblical system of salvation, aka, Lutheranism. Sandwiched together, OJ and SJ amount to gross antinomianism. Calvin counter-balanced justification before faith with the idea of limited atonement and DP so that the antinomianism implicit in justification before faith would be balanced by idea that if you act like an unbeliever, maybe that's because you actually are one. UOJ-type Lutheranism has no such counter-balance to fend out antinomianism since Lutherans believe in unlimited atonement and deny that God reprobates anyone. Therefore, some over-assured Lutherans end up getting in trouble in various sins and with the law, but for most the theoretical antinomianism results in a largely unregenerate and life and many sins of omission (a non-dedicated, non-rigorously religious life) that the UOJer Lutheran doesn't feel any guilt over.
