Jack Kilcrease, ever-prone to comment and erase, has published another dreary example of UOJ on steroids. I have not read it, because there is nothing to see when someone marches with the UOJ Stormtroopers and calls himself a Confessional Lutheran or even an Orthodox Lutheran.
Waltherian is a good label, because Walther gladly followed his syphilitic and adulterous bishop into the wilderness of Perryville, Missouri. Both of them were UOJ adherents, as all the European rationalistic-Pietistic Protestants of that era.
Jack Cascione, who let Paul McCain link his papal plagiarism on LutherQuest (sic), has decided to damage the Kilcrease brand by endorsing it. Cascione has a rich fantasy life; unfortunately, he publishes his fantasies as facts, leaving everyone bewildered.
UOJ is mainline Protestantism, teaching that God is so gracious that everyone is forgiven, whether they believe it or not. Everyone is saved, even without hearing the Name Jesus - even before birth. MDivers Cascione and McCain have quoted those notions as factually true. Given their status as bad writers and worse editors, the reader can judge the case on its merits.
Pope Frank agrees. |
Cascione also endorses UOJ and cited this essay in his promotion of that heresy. ELCA believes the same thing, but is a little more honest about it. |
