Hottentots and Hindus Forgiven without Faith

J-578
"So, then, we are reconciled; however, not only we, but also Hindus, and Hottentots and Kafirs, yes, the world. 'Reconciled', says our translation; the Greek original says: 'placed in the right relation to God'. Because before the Fall we, together with the whole creation, were in the right relation to God, therefore Scripture teaches that Christ, through His death, restored all things to the former right relation to God."
F. R. Eduard Preuss, 1834-1904, Die Rechtfertigung der Suender vor Gott. Cited in Rick Nicholas Curia, The Significant History of the Doctrine of Objective or Universal Justification, Alpine, California: California Pastoral Conference, WELS. January 24-25, 1983. p. 24.

Preuss (not to be confused with the one-s Preus clan) is a big hero to the UOJ Fanatics. Preuss taught at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, 1869-71. He prayed to God for a sign about whether the Church of Rome was the One True Church. He saw a brilliant sunset and became a Roman Catholic theologian. A former editor of Chemnitz, he published works in opposition to Luther's doctrine. When asked how he could have proved both sides of the same issue, he said, "Give me the texts and I can prove anything." Above is proof of his attempts to do just that. Compare his bovine statement to Luther's below.

Preuss' conversion is never mentioned by his fellow-Schwaermer UOJ fanatics.
