Signs of a Weak Argument Abound in UOJ




http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2013/09/congratulations-on-being-so-schtoopid.html

Typical UOJ argumentation can be found here.

Someone asked for Luther's castle analogy and got a copy of plus this odd remark

"This is a great quote, on which I have found deniers of Objective Justification to be incredibly silent,"

Deniers of OJ - that is begging the question, of course. The CLC (sic) UOJist imagines that his dogma is the gold standard of Christian doctrine.

Incredibly silent - "incredibly" is a funny, self-critical adverb to use, especially since this analogy has been addressed many times. Who are these deniers? No names.

The quotation destroys their delusions, but they cannot grasp that. Throughout Luther and the Book of Concord, the Reformer and the Confessors assert the universality of the atonement of Christ, the necessity of faith.

Their castle quotation does the same thing, but they pixelate the atonement by magnifying it until it is the only thing they want to teach, like Creation without the Trinity (Deism) or stewardship without Christ (Environmentalism).

The real point of UOJ is the entire world of pagans, polygamists, cannibals, head-hunters, and apostates being forgiven of all their sins and saved, without the Word, faith, or the Means of Grace. That is the message of modern liberal theology, which came from the fetid loins of Halle University, their common Alma Mater. Halle University was established for the movement called Pietism and gave birth to Biblical Rationalism.

The LQ (sic) denizens never deal with Robert Preus' rejection of UOJ in his final book. They do embrace such bizarre and pagan notions as these:

Cascione, illiterate, loves this quotation
and used it to prove how UOJ Robert Preus was.
Justification and Rome? - Mad Jack is silent on that book.

Can someone find a dumber statement than this?
 I doubt it.
