Judge the Words of the False Teachers - The Ones They Use and the Ones They Abhor

 Books by Norma A. Boeckler

We must discern the spirits and judge the words the false teachers use - or abhor.

The Jesuiterans (Lutheran Jesuits) abhor Justification by Faith and the Means of Grace, following the example of their Enthusiast masters.

Christian News should be using those terms in October, especially in its Deformation issue. Funny how one letter turns the Reformation into the Deformation. But a lot of human effort is behind the change.

The October 29th issue does not mention Justification by Faith at all, not once. The Means of Grace? - same result, zero for October 29th. The October issues are similar. With the use of Justification by itself, or Objective Justification, a simpleton from Mordor would assume that Justification means universal salvation without faith.

 I have seen too many magic acts to be fooled by an amateur using the same tricks, but without skill or talent.

Rolf is quoted in the 10-29-2018 issue of CN, based on his epoch lectures in North Dakota. He is the Williston Wonder, but all the fracking in the world cannot distill the Gospel from his Enthusiastic Pietism.

“The denial that God required the bloody sacrifice of his Son to satisfy his wrath is a denial of the vicarious satisfaction. It is a denial that Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. This denial of the vicarious atonement became part of the official dogmatic textbook for much of the ELCA in the publication of Braaten and Jensen’s (sic) Dogmatics in 1984, two years before the formation of the ELCA. We read:..." Deformation issue, p. 5.

This sounds like a genius announcing that water is wet and the sky blue. Boo hiss, Braaten and Jenson, even though some in LCMS-WELS-ELS think their partner Forde (rhymes with murdah) is a great theologian.

The lectures are - once again - Objective Justification, so the words used refer to that peculiar falsehood about the Atonement being the universal declaration of forgiveness and salvation of the world, without the Word (Enthusiasm). So - just as much as Braaten and Jenson - Rolf denies the Atonement.

I tried valiantly to follow Rolf's lectures, and commented on them. He clearly tried to answer the monstrous flaws in his thinking, but was fearful of addressing objections honestly or quoting/citing sources.

This continues the Jesuiteran method of warning about a great threat to Holy Mother Sect without simply saying, "I, Rolf, son of Bob, son of Jake Preus, reject and repudiate Justification by Faith, the Means of Grace, and the efficacy of the Word."

 Why did Rolf fail to mention this book, which he supposedly helped edit? I know from his father's lectures that he loved Quenstedt and wanted to name a son after Q.
