Luther clearly proclaims objective justification in defending the general (public) absolution:

"Even if not all believe [the word of absolution], that is no reason to reject [public] absolution, for each absolution, whether administered publicly or privately, has to be understood as demanding faith and as being an aid to those who believe in it, just as the gospel itself also proclaims forgiveness to all men in the whole world and exempts no one from this universal context. Nevertheless the gospel certainly demands our faith and does not aid those who do not believe it; and yet the universal context of the gospel has to remain [valid]."

GJ - All the flavors of OJ include "God declaring the entire world innocent." This is another one of those Atonement related statements that the fanatics foolishly claim for OJ. Where is the declaration of world absolution without faith? The dentist has some large cavities to fill in his understanding.

We should be charmed and amused that they climb off their Walther gut wagons and Pieper manure spreaders to dabble in Luther. It brings tears to my eyes, no really, tears from muffling my laughter at their stolid ignorance of the Bible, Luther, and the Reformation.

But we are living in a new era, so they should be rewarded for their efforts, even if they fail to meet the most basic standards of intellectual honesty. For example, they cannot address my objections to their false doctrine. Rolf Preus cannot even mention his father's book - you know, "My Father, Robert Preus, PhD" - and Justification and Rome. Rolfie One-Note gave the Fracking Lectures in North Dakota and failed to mention Justification and Rome. Moreover, he complains to people that I quote his father. I imagine there is some kind of a Preus copyright - that only a Preus can quote a Preus and then very selectively.

Every few days one of them will find a snippet, and like a little boy at the beach, yell, "Look Mommie at what I just found." and it will be their latest jewel "proving OJ" or even "proving OJ in Luther."

There is only one proof, from the Scriptures, though there are many witnesses to that truth. Luther is one. A tiny corner of Lutherdom ignores an enormous body of evidence - never addressing it - that the Reformation was based on Justification by Faith.

They also insist on a peculiar set of claims and chew on them like starving pit bulls. And we know why. They are blind to the Gospel, misunderstand the Means of Grace, repudiate the efficacy of the Word, and therefore starve themselves of the message of the entire Bible - faith in Jesus the Savior.

I have patiently outlined what the Scriptures say on this topic - because some have repented of their error - but especially for those being blinded and confused by these false teachers:
  • Cascione
  • Webber
  • McCain
  • Otten
  • Valleskey
  • Bivens
  • Zarling
  • Rambach, Schleiermacher, Barth and
  • The ELCA theologians.
Not one of them can provide exegesis, in English or Greek, for their boggy claims. And yet they want to verbally beat anyone who questions them. Rolfie One Note tried that on me and later wrote a private email, begging for mercy. He even admitted at one point that we are only forgiven through faith. He agreed with the Justification chapter of Thy Strong Word when he read it. But when he did not have the book - no one did - he said, "I have read it and it is full of false doctrine." UOJists are liars. Did I say that before? Many times. Yes I did.

The UOJists are Modernists, and their denominations are failing, their seminaries as empty their confession of faith.
