Jay Webber and SpenerQuesters Plant Their Flag at Easter Absolution.
1. They Are Halle Pietists.
2. They Have a Calvinist Concept of the Word

Those familiar with the English language can detect a polemic
against the essence of UOJ argumentation.
Quenstedt must have been arguing against
nascent Pietistic distortions of the Gospel.
Boisclair cannot overcome this clear statement.
Robert Preus clearly repudiated UOJ claims with his own statements
and by quoting Calov and Quenstedt.


This man Rambach, a Halle stud,
is the star witness for the UOJ philosophy
of Webber, his catechumen Buchholz, and the Spenerquesters.

In this exchange between the Superintendent of the ACLC (Rev. Lawson) and the architect of ELDoNA's doctrine of Justification (Rydecki) an Abraham Calov quotation for the Easter Absolution springs up as a beautiful flower:

http://www.intrepidlutherans.com/

"Christ's resurrection took place as an actual absolution from sin (respectu actualis a peccato absolutionis). As God punished our sins in Christ, upon whom He laid them and to whom He imputed them, as our Bondsman, so He also, by the very act of raising Him from the dead, absolved Him from our sins imputed to Him, and so He absolved also us in Him" (Bibl. Illust., ad Rom. 4:25; quoted in Pieper, vol. III).

C.F.W. Walther was an ardent student of the orthodox dogmaticians, and that's where he got the Easter Absolution from.

Unwittingly the ardent opponent of the Easter Absolution, Paul Rydecki, cannot get away from the fact that Gerhard and Calov were speaking of an absolution/justification on the first Easter Day. Rydecki tries to explain away these quotations in a manner that John Calvin would be proud of, but the problem is that as the biblical doctrine of Objective Justification works, GERHARD AND CALOV ARE SPEAKING OF JUSTIFICATION AS OCCURRING BEFORE an individual's coming to faith. Paul Rydecki too is an anonymous advocate of THE EASTER ABSOLUTION.
[GJ - Boisclair should read Justification and Rome - just once.]

Rydecki and company are forcing a square peg into a round hole by attempting to apply what is clearly objective, subjectively.

The atonement effects the redemption/absolution...OBJECTIVELY.

Joe, continue to extol the Easter Absolution! 

By the way, if as the ELDoNA theses declare one may not speak of absolution with respect to our Lord Jesus Christ because he was not a sinner as we are sinners, then they question the Vicarious Satisfaction itself. Christ was the Greatest Sinner as Luther said by the LORD laying on Him the iniquity of us all (Is. 53:6).
[GJ - This is proof positive of Pietisim - the dogma of Rambach.]

These numbskulls keep patting each other on the back for being Enthusiasts. The Book of Concord suggests we extol the Means of Grace, not the unBiblical Easter Absolution of the unbelieving world.






Calvin took over the Enthusiasm of Zwingli, but wrote more elegantly - his arrogance was more subtle, except when he mocked the Real Presence in the Institutes.

Zwingli and Calvin divorced the work of the Holy Spirit from the Word, which is the UOJ gambit. This mysterious absolution took place (apart from any Scriptural support) without the Spirit, without the Word.

By endorsing UOJ, the neo-Zwinglians extol an imaginary event. This is not a harmless gambit but a dangerous and soul-destroying dogma.

"Make a decision for UOJ" is
the opposite of justification by faith.


You must accept the Easter Absolution,
enshrined in the halls of Halle University,
but not recorded anywhere in the Bible.
