Lutheran Laity Are Waking Up to the Twaddle Known as Universal Objective Justification

Luther never departed from justification by faith,
taught by the Holy Spirit through St. Paul,
but Walther was wrong from the start.

Several people have written their appreciation for justification by faith being addressed on this blog, although a third person said, "Do you ever write about anything else?"

One thanked me for attacking Halle Pietism, which is the basis for the Synodical Conference's love for Universal Objective Justification. Walther got it from his syphilitic bishop Martin Stephan, and Stephan caught it from his studies at Halle University, which were never finished.

UOJ continues to appeal to the simple-minded, the unrepentant abusers, and synodicrats to this day. They know justification by faith was taught among them for decades, by Gausewitz and others, but they are determined to eradicate  the Chief Article of the Christian Religion.

Justification by faith stands in the way of uniting with ELCA ministries, supporting the abortion- funding Thrivent business, and participating in various other felonies and calumnies.

Calov appears to be answering the UOJ themes
alive at his time.

Quensteadt is even more specific in rejecting UOJ claims -
and he was quoted favorably by Dr. Robert Preus.

The Halle Pietist - Rambach - is Jay Webber's  Martin Luther.
This twaddle is the core of Walther's Easter Absolution.
Walther learned it from Halle-trained Bishop Martin Stephan,
who never graduated from college.

Walther and JP Meyer resorted to making a decision for UOJ
in their twisted version of justification.

And where did Knapp teach? Halle University.
And what was the translator's doctrine - Calvinist.

As I pointed out before, Stephan took his mistress on the big trip to America,
and booked his mistress in the next cabin.
Stephan's sick wife was left at home to care for his
dying syphilitic children.

Two Ways to Be Invasive - Bee Balm Fails the Invasive Test

Bee zooming in on Bee Balm

Many of the plants used for medicine of some type are also attractive to bees and butterflies. Bee Balm has a list of uses, although I am not prescribing any. I can imagine tea made from its leaves and will try that.

One Facebook friend claimed that Bee Balm could be evasive, then corrected the word to invasive, after I posted a question mark.

Two methods will make a plant invasive. One is spreading through roots or stolons. The mint family is famous for this, but Horse Mint (Bee Balm) grows in clumps, enlarging its clumps without spreading all over. Bamboo (a grass) can clump or spread through stolons. Bamboo is a good example of one rule - "resist the beginnings."

Feverfew

A second way to invade is through seeds. Feverfew is famous for seeding itself all over the yard. The little white flowers do not mind adverse conditions and will bloom in every bare spot. The flower earned its name for various curative powers. Like Bee Balm, Feverfew will attract a variety of beneficial creatures, perhaps more than most flowers, according to Walliser.

Maple trees and dandelions seed from above and through the wind. I have been pulling up little maple trees all over the yard and gardens. I let dandelions (another herbal) grow where they germinate, because the break up the soil and mine calcium from below.

Triple Crown Blackberries are thornless.

Handy Multiplication
We like dense growth in some cases. Periwinkle is the perfect plant to grow and bloom in the shade, to hold down soil in the process. The plant is expensive to buy, but holding down the plant against the soil--using a brick or stone--will cause that point to root and spread more.

Blackberries do the same, with long trailing canes, more like vines, that easily droop to the ground and take root when held against the soil.

Raspberries push up new canes all the time. An initial planting will become dense and need thinning in short order.

Seed eating birds will deposit their favorites along fences,
so asparagus hunters in rural areas look there for stands of their favorite spears.
