| Any UOJist who accuses someone of false doctrine is just like Paul the Plagiarist on his cardboard tank: Otten's best friend during the elections of Barry and Matt the Fatt. |

As to whether the ELCA is a Christian church body, I would say yes if by that we are saying that one can be brought to faith and sustained in the Christian faith within the ELCA. On the other hand, the ELCA, corporately, that is, in its official teaching, has denied the Christian religion in critical areas. The most widespread and damaging error promoted within the ELCA is the denial of the vicarious atonement. ELCA theologians who deny the heart of the gospel are promoted within the LCMS. This is a scandal. Pastor Rolf David Preus |
GJ - The Stormtroopers of UOJ are just like the ones in the orginal Star Wars - they never hit their targets, no matter how many times they fire. Read Rolf the Regurgitator's prior remark:
The problem with this answer is that it evades the critical point of the question: "who adhere to Roman dogma." Can one reject justification by faith alone without rejecting the gospel? Is our doctrine of justification only our doctrine? Is it not the gospel itself? Can one trust in his own good deeds for salvation and be a Christian? These are the questions that should be addressed. They were not. Why not?

Rolf has loudly and publicly rejected Justification by Faith in favor of the rationalistic dogma of Pietism. In this regard, he is one with ELCA.
ELCA is a Christian Church, according to this hot-air merchant! The ELCA was constituted by the radicals of Seminex, who dominated the commission, so it was clearly begun as anti-Trinitarian - far ahead of its time in establishing the quota system that led to the disastrous 2009 decision. Even some bishops were disgusted - and left, after pocketing their retirement money. NALC already has 400,000 members. The older break-off group has about as many - the LCMC.
The UOJ tribe, which is pan-Lutheran, likes to claim Justification by Faith - from time to time. But they are cloaking their evil dogma. Their Subjective Justification is nothing more than trust in God's universal absolution and salvation of the entire world - a startling decree which remains unrecorded in the Scriptures, the Confessions, Luther's sermons, and Chemnitz' writing.
The UOJ Stormtroopers hate Justification by Faith so much that they hardly ever use the term. I have ready many of their sacred documents, now preserved in the musty Misthaufen of the Essay Files, WELS. The typical sleight of hand is to use the term Justification by itself, without writing Justification by Faith. Next they define their UOJ as the "Chief Article of the Christian Faith, the Master and Prince, the judge of all articles of faith, on which the Church stands or falls." Thus Bivens - another Fulleroid tool - not only leads his readers astray, but plagiarizes Zarling as a bonus.
Did Rolf Preus switch sides again? Read this post.
If so, he needs to repudiate UOJ and his posts promoting UOJ. There is no middle ground.
