Dr. Robert Preus always taught UOJ? In 1982 he offered the best quotations against it, the same ones used in Justification and Rome. |
Dr. Robert Preus' 1982 essay about justification is linked here.

Okay, just thought maybe I should read through the Preus paper:
When I hit this line I stopped;
I have to say "How in the world could a theologian come up with
that?"
What part of the Bible does that line up with? As I said earlier.
John 6: 32-71 paints an entirely different picture.
As we both know , it was just one giant step for pietists, called
"Lutheran", toward going completely for Universalism.
I can't figure out what is farther off. Calvinist that deny the real
presence etc. or Pietist (called Lutheran) that teach that all were declared
righteous 2000+ years ago. Oh my!

GJ - My response is that the essay is a mixture of UOJ and JBFA. The interesting part is his early use of quotations that obliterate UOJ. I will post those below. They appeared in Justification and Rome, many years later. However, the book contains no UOJ.

Quoted in the 1982 essay, page 7, and in Justification and Rome. Furtive UOJ can be found asserted on page 9 of the essay. |

This is a paragraph on page 12 of the essay. |
