The Book of Concord Is a Book of Harmony,
But the UOJ Enthusiasts Sing Out of Key with Everything in the Word of God and the Confessions

Mary and Martha, by Norma Boeckler


AC V has left a new comment on your post "What Is the Gospel?":

Thus Christ comprises the sum of the Gospel when He says in Luke 24:47: That repentance * and remission of sins should be preached in My name among all nations. - Apology XII (V): 30.

* ...the parts of repentance are contrition and faith [a penitent, contrite heart, and faith, namely, that I receive the forgiveness of sins through Christ] - Apology XII (V): 1

GJ - The UOJ Enthusiasts get their doctrine from Calvin, Halle University, a syphilitic bishop (Stephan), and a pope with four years of college (Walther).


They get their concepts of ministry from Enthusiasts of all denominations. Denying their Universalism, they go to Fuller, where the main theologians (Barth and the luscious Kirschbaum) are Universalists, and to Sweet  - who is a New Age Universalist.


They fit the definition of Ecumenists - they love every denomination except their own.
