The Rest of You - Be Gone!

"Stop posting about faith, you morons!"
LCMS Pastor Tim Russow did say on on earlier post,
"I've had enough of you morons."

Dear BJS readers:

I have moderated most of the comments away from this posting. I left the comments dealing with the sermon substance and preaching. When the conversation turned to speaking past one another, attacks on persons, and unsubstantiated claims, I and Editor Tim Rossow decided to do some editing. If you want to know the teachings on Justification, read
Andrew Preus’ article. Several commenters have been put on moderated status and I am closing down commenting on this post. In the future, I plan on introducing a more moderated venue for discussion of certain points of this centered on specific definitions of words (since folks here started to make it up as they went on, claiming silly things like universalism). One of these times maybe there might be civil and fruitful discussion on this important topic. Until then, go and read the Confessions on it (see the AC IV, Apology IV specifically).

GJ - Pastor Scheer seems pleasant, but he is wrong on two counts. Andrew Preus has no clue about justification. Needless to say, Steadfast is a UOJ shop with union rules.

Scheer's other error concerns Universalism. The basic dogma of Universalism is the universal forgiveness and salvation of all people, regardless of faith. UOJ teaches that dogma, as WELS District President Jon Buchholz emphasized in his convention essay. Many others have done the same.

Universal salvation is Universalism.

Universal absolution is Universalism.

Universalists teach universal forgiveness.


Born forgiven? Universalism.

Universal pardon = Universalism.


This does not even make sense.

Universal absolution is in perfect harmony with Universalism.
The Confessions encourage us to change doctrine,
to substitute justification without faith as the Chief Article of the Faith. Ironic?
