| Andromeda was called a nebula until larger telescopes resolved the stars. One galaxy, the white glow on the lower right, is captured by Andromeda's gravity. Genesis 15:5-6 is the argument behind Romans 4 - not exactly a UOJ text! |
UOJ has plenty of bad attributes - Antinomianism and Enthusiasm, to start the list. UOJ is a counterfeit gospel for a counterfeit faith.
But I told one person that I would continue my series on genuine Christian doctrine, featuring the justification by faith quotations from Luther's Galatians Commentary, the Kregel edition, which is easy to obtain and inexpensive.
Paul McCain and his ELCA-Jesuit advisor are complaining, so I must be doing something right. They never thank me for featuring Luther's doctrine. I wonder why.
I have 45 graphics done from the Kregel edition, and I am on chapter 3 of Galatians.
KJV Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
That quotation is certainly up to date for all Lutheran synods today. Turning away from the Gospel, the preaching of faith in Christ, they have been teaching the works of the law for many decades. Most of them were fairly close in doctrine, since all of them were spawned in the era of Pietism. But now they are far apart, driven by extremes of Pentecostalism, Romanism, and Groeschel-Methodism.
Their only area of agreement is a common hatred of Luther's doctrine.
