False Teachers Find Comfort in False Doctrine,
Instead of Teaching the Means of Grace



Instead of posting this graphic, which anyone can borrow, Paul McCain finds comfort in the offscouring of Pietism - Universal Objective Justification. Quoting the gunslinger hisself:

I urge and warn all those who read this blog and my Facebook page to avoid any such discussions and to flee from any false teachers who would rob you of the comfort of the Gospel.

and more -

Rejoice in this beautiful explanation of the doctrine of objective justification written by the Rev. Dr. Robert Preus, in 1981.

But McCain does not rely on Luther, the Book of Concord, or his hero Andreae. Instead, he cites the early Robert Preus and not the later Preus, where UOJ is repudiated with quotations from the orthodox Lutheran fathers (post-Concord, not post-Perryville).

The Biblical Means of Grace are comforting - the Word and Sacraments. UOJ fanatics are allergic to faith, the Means of Grace, and the efficacy of the Word. In other words, they have an immediate reaction to Biblical, Lutheran doctrine. Rash statements follow.

Comforting.

Disturbing.

Comforting.

Bizarre.

Comforting.

Universalistic and Babtist,
contradictory and confusing.

Comforting.

McCain's mentor - scary.

Comforting.

Enthusiastic!

I learned a year or so ago that Highway Exit numbers were also mile numbers on the highway. So, if you know you have to get off at Exit 29 and you are at exit 19, you have ten miles to go.
