Sorry, couldn't wait.

Wendland (purveyor of the new age NNIV)"God’s Word can only be a hidden treasure to speakers of English today if we willfully refuse to read the versions God has so abundantly provided for us." p.1

Wendland (teaching seminarians Church Growth wisdom that the (W)ELS has nurtured for years) "
5 Note: I am not suggesting that our possession of such authority means that we must be confrontational in our evangelism style or authoritarian in our approach to preaching and teaching. In a postmodern age, such approaches may, at times, place unnecessary stumbling blocks in the way of the truth."
p3

Wendland (speaking in the (W)ELS Universalist language) "It (the gospel) is rather a radical rescue mission that was planned in eternity, yet rooted in time. It is about God working through history to save the human race." p4

Wendland (More (W)ELS Universalism) "Here Paul teaches that there is an astounding secret at the heart of every matter in the universe. At the center of the universe, there is God. And at the center of God, at the core of his innermost being, there is love, a fiery love, a powerful love that will not rest until it gathers together all his people—everyone of them, you and me included—and brings them—everyone one of them, you and me included—safely home to his glory." p5

Wendland (Quoting Scripture and then perverting it as only apostate UOJ confessing Lutherans can when denegrating the Holy Spirit's faith) "For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” 3) Churches of the Reformation have more typically understood it as referring to the gift of righteousness that God makes to humanity in the forgiveness of sins (Ro 5:16-18; see also Php 3:5). p7

Wendland (UOJ - the same UOJ that is fed to the New Age Religions future pastors) "He declares us all innocent, and does so freely, gratis, unconditionally (3:24)." ... "There, too, he shows his grace by justifying—declaring righteous—the guilty sinner.".... "In view of the last day—the day of wrath, that dreadful day—no wonder Paul revels in the gospel’s declaration of “Not guilty!”" p8

Ugh - I can't read any more of this tripe.

Scripture, the Christian Lutheran Confessions, Luther and Hunnius condemn Wendlands false gospel and do so vigorously and without reservation.

Hunnius' Theses Opposed to Huberianism is available for $10 on Amazon dot com.
