Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "The LCMS Trashess Pastors, too. Dear Calling Congr...":
I’d like you to consider taking a dare, and scripture is full of dares isn’t it? Each time our Lord called a disciple it was in fact a dare: Come follow me…I dare you to trust. The crucifixion is a dare to faith isn’t it: Here is your Lord, hanging on a cross…I dare you to believe."
To teach that the Triune God dares a person to believe is pure synergism. UOJ style synergism at that. Universal Objective Justification teaches that faith is a work of man if solely by faith alone man is forgiven of all sin - justified. The idea that God dares man to believe is in harmony with that unChristian teaching. Since Christ is the Author and Finisher of a Christian's faith and that worked graciously by the Holy Spirit through the Means of Grace alone, faith is not of man but a gracious gift of God.
Just another example of rudderless blather from the Lutheran Synods who have embraced a false gospel.
