I was reading this small book in the car repair shop when the Ichaboat was being repaired. The alternator went bad and a bad alternator was used to replace it, so the replacement had to be replaced.
I ran across one paragraph where Chemnitz described the Cathari in his list of those who botched and twisted justification.
The Cathari considered themselves completely blameless and free of sin. Therefore, repentance was a foreign idea to them.
The UOJists insist they were saved "2000 years ago." Like the Cathari, one bad foundational idea leads to a host of rejections of Biblical truths. The UOJists are extreme hedonists, because they were born forgiven. Repentance is a foreign concept for them, too, because of this false concept.
The UOJists are habitual liars, because their deception is always for a good cause, such as getting Al Barry elected with deceit while denying it, attending Fuller Seminary while acting offended anyone would even mention that idea.
The Cathari were also known to feel superior to those not of their elite group. The three UOJ sects - LCMS, WELS, and ELS - never stop congratulating themselves about their UOJ. And oh what a blessing they are to Lutherans. Here is one example - the juxtaposition is too funny to ignore...
For 125 years, by God's grace, Northwestern Publishing House has served the
spiritual needs of Lutherans and other Christians. The year 2017 will mark
another special event: the 500th
anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation--a movement that ushered
in a return to the pure Word of God. NPH is here to help you dig deeper into
that Word and strengthen your daily walk with Christ. Check out our resources
below, including books and gifts commemorating the 500th anniversary of the
Reformation. Visit www.nph.net to see all we have to offer!
If you want to get along with the New Cathari of UOJ, just remember that they are completely without sin and need no repentance. They look down on everyone else - and like Paul McCain - demand apologies from everyone who has offended them. The rest are "the earthly" and give themselves away by not getting UOJ, by not admiring the corrupt and bitter fruit of anti-Christian dogma. You have been warned.
