The ELDONA Justification by Faith Theses are stirring up the UOJ Stormtroopers. Their hides bristle as they scurry to denounce justification by faith and re-affirm their Enthusiasm.
Some of the players are:
- Jack Cascione and the Illiterates.
- Herman Otten, sole Lutheran distributor of The Facts about Luther.
- Paul McCain's Roman Catholic Wannabees.
- Jay Webber.
- Jack Kilcrease, Convent School Adjunct Teacher and Hall Monitor.
They all love each other now. The high church postulants have bowed to Cascione for being a UOJ warrior, First Class, all along. Cascione salutes Otten for being the most hated Lutheran, even though Luther has that distinction. Otten is simply the most irrelevant quasi-Lutheran.
Kilcrease and David Scaer have a close relationship, based on mutual fakery. Neither one has a credible doctorate, so they boost one another's works, the way Gothic novel authors do.
Each sect pretends that it alone has the truth - each one orthodox, Lutheran, and confessional. But because they only teach works, they have no fruits of the Spirit. Many of the UOJ Stormtroopers loathe each other: Otten and McCain, Cascione and everyone. But UOJ remains the glue that holds them together - a common set of unbeliefs.
Works? - they cry out as if suddenly recognizing Lutheran doctrine. Yes, either one teaches justification by faith or justification by works. Since they abhor faith and teach against faith, they teach justification by works.
The best and most noble work is to remain loyal to Holy Mother Sect. The others are evil, bad false teachers (except for UOJ). Asking about whether WELS and Missouri are really different will yield a savage beating and arctic shunning.
Our brand is the only good one. The rest of them are evil.

| LutherQuestors should know by now - UOJ comes from Halle University, from rationalistic Pietists - not from Luther or the Concordists. |
Results -
WELS trains people to think their sect is infallible, so all others must be avoided, shunned, and hated on - especially the ELS. Meanwhile, the leaders get their training at Fuller, Trinity, and Willow Creek - while working with the United Nations, LCMS, ELCA, and the Salvation Army.
The Little Sect on the Prairie trains people to think they are the only Lutheran sect in America, but communing ELCA family members is a great idea because it reduces conflict. They loathe the Wisconsin Sect while aping all the errors of WELS - especially UOJ.
The Missouri Sect specializes in accusing others of being against the Great Walther. If Stephan's disciple Walther had to testify on TV today, everyone would laugh him out of the country. "You didn't know Stephan was having affairs with young women? Why did he leave his wife behind in Dresden and take his young groupies to America? Rev. Walther - did you rescue Stephan by having your ruffians kidnap Stephan and take him to Illinois at gunpoint, or by stealing his hoard of gold, his library, his 120 acres of land, and all his personal possessions?"
Missouri is honest about working with ELCA - loves it - but sanctimoniously look down on the radical homosexual activism of their favorite partner. However, their stated policy is to destroy all evidence of their pastors molesting children in their congregations. Think of the cost of the lawsuits - God would not be happy with losing the mission to Moldavia!
