ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Justification by Faith Is the Chief Article - Not UOJ.
The ELS Is a Quasi-Christian Sect,
Not Christian and Not Lutheran
AC V has left a new comment on your post "What is a Lutheran? | Evangelical Lutheran Synod. ...":
If the question is "What is a Lutheran?" then give references, please, from the the OFFICIAL Lutheran confession of faith, the BOOK OF CONCORD, to substantiate that ELS confession:
Through this completed work of Jesus, God the Father sees the whole world as not guilty, or justified. This teaching of “justification” is the central truth of the Bible.
That may be the definition and central teaching of an ELS Lutheran, but it isn't of a Book of Concord Lutheran.
