I look around the Net to see if anyone can argue a case for Universal Objective Justification. The UOJ Enthusiasts are as nasty and dishonest as ever, but they are also lazy.
For commentary, there are two great sources outside of the Scriptures for studying justification. They are the Book of Concord and Luther's Galatians Commentary. The Concordists urged readers to study the Galatians Commentary, so that should be the first choice of those who claim a quia subscription to the Confessions, no? No.
They love their UOJ experts, forgetting the main one - Martin Stephan - and inventing one in Martin Luther. Every time they try to find a UOJ quotation in pre-Pietism Lutheran orthodoxy, they fail, exposing their lack of reading comprehension.
Lazy means they have not applied themselves to the texts. Here are Book of Concord selections that would help their understanding but hurt their boneheaded clique:
1. Luther's Large Catechism on the First Table of the Ten Commandments. They might want to read the Eighth Commandment for the first time.
2. The Augsburg Confession, Articles IV and V.
3. The Apology of the Augsburg Confession, on Justification. The subtitles of the sections should knock them on their indolent rear-ends, but they have never read, let alone mark and inwardly digest.
4. The Formula of Concord, Article III. The Righteousness of Faith. Who thought up that subtitle? That goes against their righteousness of Easter absolution nonsense.
