It Only Takes a Pair To Start Their Synod Burning. And Soon All Those Around with UOJ'll Be Yearning.

 Quoted in Robert Preus' Justification and Rome.

Rolf Preus must not garden or farm, because he shows no grasp of Matthew 7:15-23. Instead, Rolf agrees with David Valleskey that figs do indeed grow on thistles, because both of them adore UOJ and expect only the best from Justification without Faith.

More importantly, this previous post shows how an entire synod can be lost through a doctrinal error. Or, as Luther said, an entire nation.

The attack against WAM II's Justification by Faith, conducted by Jack and Robert Preus, set the stage for Ralph Rodham Bohlmann to steer the LCMS straight into mainline apostasy. That was almost 40 years ago, and it took that long to make UOJ official both in the synod's Dogmatanic and also in their Babylonian Talmud edition of the no-longer Small Catechsim.

The original Gausewitz Small Catechism was nothing more than Luther's Small Catechism and a list of the Scriptures that went with each point. Gausewitz taught Justification by Faith. That is significant, because Gausewitz was president of the Synodical Conference and therefore respected in those synods at that time. To duplicate that feat today one would need a DMin from Fuller Seminary.

WELS had to keep "improving" the Gausewitz until it morphed into the Kuske UOJ monster. They even have another one, honoring the Reformation's 500th Anniversary by repudiating Luther's doctrine.

 Calov and Quenstedt seem to be arguing against the UOJ of the Pietists. Norwegian Pietists like Jack and Robert Preus stuck to UOJ like lint to velcro, but the Augustana leaders were influenced by W. Passavant - a Book of Concord advocate. And - Augustana had the Apostolic Succession!

Do not be shocked, Lutherans, that this has happened. People live with contradictions all the time.

Picture a discussion website, not just any website, but a very special one.

1. They routinely teach Justification without Faith.
2. They never discuss Luther's doctrine.
3. They attack anyone who questions their rationalistic Pietism.
4. They are meaner than junkyard dogs with each other, but even worse toward anyone who questions their brilliance and orthodoxy.
5. They love to quote a man who kidnapped his niece, nephew, and bishop, who adopted Halle Pietism, and stole millions from the leader of their cult.

And get this - They call their group LUTHERQUEST (sic)!
