In this sermon, Luther emphasized that Jesus was primarily a teacher rather than a miracle worker. The miracles were not the end game (contrary to the squeamish rationalists of today) but the method by which the Son of God taught them the essential truths. The centurion - knew and spoke with great clarity - the Word is efficacious. "Just say the Word and my assistant will be healed, not dead."
One of our members brought Justification by Faith books to a Lutheran Free Conference, which meant anyone could participate in sharing materials. Matt the Fatt came by and picked up a book. "What are you selling?" The member said, "We are not selling anything. These are free." The supposed Doctor said, "Looks like you are selling something" and walked away. Pretty soon the so-called "Free Conference" defenestrated the Justification by Faith table. LCMS-WELS-ELS stood (or rather cowered) against Justification by Faith and would not allow it.
The LutherQueasies, unaware of their follies, call us OJ-Deniers.
The Big Five Apostates - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) do not teach at all. They sell the current, pre-packaged products, which must be sold in their perfection of perfidy. For example, some have been sold on Unstuck, so they are required to follow the Unstuck model.
