Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Pastor Paul Rydecki: Intrepid Lutherans: Johann Ge...":
Johann Gerhard, 3)...Likewise, one could infer that the righteousness of Christ is propagated to all men together, without any regard for faith or unbelief, since the sin of Adam is propagated to all through carnal generation.
4) But since that is absurd, a distinction must fully be made between the acquisition and the application of the merit of Christ; or between the benefit itself and participation in the benefit. The acquisition of the merit, or the benefit itself obtained by the death of Christ is general. For as Adam, by his disobedience, enveloped all of his posterity in the guilt of sin, so Christ, who suffered and died for the sins of all, also merited and acquired righteousness for all. But this benefit is only applied to those who are grafted into Christ by faith, and only they become participants in this benefit.
No wonder Buchholz, the Lutheran Synods and the Antichrist are not big Gerhard fans.

GJ - I found the essay Buchholz was preparing, perhaps with the help of The Sausage Factory instructors. They make sure that every single graduate is a non-thinking robot, sworn to repeat whatever Holy Mother Synod tells him. If not - ZOTT!
Buchholz' essay is so gaseous, at 42 pages, that Blogger went on the blink when I tried to post it as a Word document copy.
Here is the link to Jesus Canceled Your Debt.

I have copied the essay to my hard drive, just in case the original disappears, after being mocked for the rubbish it promotes.
