Universal Objective Justification unites the work of ELCA-WELS-LCMS-ELS.
Most Lutheran blogs are a waste of time and pixels, because they avoid the real issue and dance around such topics as "Should I bless with two fingers for the Two Natures or three for the Holy Trinity?" Some are thinking, "He is kidding," but that was the big topic in Russian Orthodoxy when Marxism was taking over that country.
Lutherans are no less silly during the same kind of crisis, although this one is murdering millions of souls rather than just taking lives.
Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, ELCA, is an unbeliever.
Synod President Matt Harrison, LCMS, is an unbeliever.
Synod President Mark Schroeder, WELS, is an unbeliever.
Circuit Pastor John Moldstad, ELS, is an unbeliever.
The four leaders, all duly elected, are unbelievers because they advocate the peculiar position of rationalistic Pietists in the 19th century - everyone is forgiven and saved, even before birth. For them, the church's mission is simply to tell the cannibals, head-hunters, CPAs, and polytheists that they were born saved and forgiven. These people have to make a decision for UOJ to be really truly actually factually forgiven and saved, but they are nevertheless forgiven and saved anyway. I will leave the numbskull faculties to figure out how to explain that.
The unity of UOJ explains why no one should bother to hinder these monsters by passing resolutions, forming committees, or applying pressure to do something good.
Let's start with the vindictiveness of Lutheran leaders getting rid of someone who disagrees with them. They are not happy until they drive that person away, with great personal cost to the object of their wrath - loss of income and benefits, slander, and destroying friendships. WELS takes this down to the college level, where they get rid of good students for questioning something (but not for promoting a gay video).
Everyone wants to discuss the symptom instead of dealing with the cause.
A bad tree (unbelief) can only bear evil, corrupt fruit. Only unbelievers like Mark Schroeder and Jon-Boy Buchholz could excommunicate a pastor, eject a congregation, and foreclose on the mortgage. Schroeder and Buchholz, billed as reformers who would ride to the rescue of WELS, are just two more examples of unbelievers serving their Father Below. More examples of their flipping can be seen in becoming Mark Jeske Church and Change lapdogs, Jeff Gunn cheerleaders, and Engelbrecht-Ski enablers.
KJV Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Everything is covered in that one passage. We can and should judge these unbelieving leaders by their evil fruit. They can invoke the Trinity and celebrate Holy Communion until Doomsday - they are still workers of iniquity.
Look at those two liars and mountebanks Matt Harrison and Paul McCain. Why do they posture about being "confessional Lutherans" -- a meaningless term today -- while working with ELCA and kissing up to Roman Catholicism? They are unbelievers.
Do not try to figure which of their conflicting creeds Harrison and McCain actually believe - they believe nothing. They have a different message for each individual, each group, with one grand conclusion - "Keep us in our sinecures where we can shun the work of a pastor or live like royalty on Thrivent grants."
A close examination of LCMS and WELS history will show that both groups had (and still have) a contingent teaching justification by faith alone. Only recently has UOJ taken over the leadership. Lutherans still own and use the original Gausewitz and the KJV Catechism, both of them lacking UOJ entirely. McCain attacks justification by faith while selling a justification by faith catechism (KJV).
Contradictions abound. Buchholz had to excommunicate Pastor Rydecki faster than a jester takes a pratfall, but no one excommunicated VP Paul Kuske for the same crime against Halle University. Why? Among unbelievers, the political demands of expediency decide the issue.

WELS Sewership Message:
Christians, too, can become burdened by the general affluence of society so
that we become apathetic to the crying needs of the world around us. And the
greatest need is that of hearing the gospel message. Since there is only ONE
WAY that happens - through the church (small letter c) - it means people MUST be
actively involved, not apathetic. Pew sitters are not to be couch potatoes.
Church members are to be excited about using all that God provides to proclaim
the good news of Christ...
