At this day also Christ is present to some, to others He is to come. To all believers He is present; to the unbelievers He is not yet come, neither doth He profit them anything at all; but if they hear the Gospel, and believe that He is present unto them, He justifieth and saveth them.
Martin Luther, Kregel, Galatians 3:7, p. 137.
Buchholz, Cascione, and McCain endorse and promote the dogma published by E. Preuss, who joined the Church of Rome.
Everyone realizes they never had a solid Lutheran education. Neither did Adolph Hoenecke, Halle graduate under the Universalist Tholuck. But Hoenecke studied the Confessions on his own.
Did these three men ever crack open Luther's Galatians Commentary? Ever?
Can you imagine Scaer picking up a paycheck at a Lutheran seminary for this drivel? He managed to embarrass the UOJ Hive with this tangled rhetoric against Luther's doctrine and the Book of Concord.
Cascione, Jay Webber, and McCain, who graduated from Concordia Seminary, Ft. Wayne, during the great days of UOJ and Church Growth, cannot get themselves to quote Robert Preus' citations from Justification and Rome. They make us think they venerate the dead more than the Shinto in Japan, but why not honor the Word of God instead?
Here is the punch line. The LCMS MDivs like to look down on the WELS Kokomo Statements, but Missouri says the same things. They deny Universalism simply because they cannot face their own Universalistic language.
The injection of UOJ dogma into the Scripture reached an all-time level of buffoonery with the New NIV, which the Wisconsin Sect is aching to sell to their abused flocks.
