I was studying the Kregel edition of Luther's Galatians Commentary, waiting in the doctor's office. This was more involved, with a new specialist, so I had plenty of time.
As I wrote many times before, Galatians is large and dense because it is a commentary on the entire Bible, not just the verses in Galatians. The book is a summary of Luther's Gospel teaching, aimed at preventing errors in the future.
The Book of Concord and Luther agreed in seeing Galatians as a definitive statement about Christian doctrine and the Chief Article, which is justification by faith, not justification without faith.
Those who parade around as experts on justification, quoting John 1:29 to prove their point, should read the Galatians Commentary on John 1:29, starting page 165 in the Kregel paperback edition. It can be found in the section on Galatians 3:13.
I am simply going to mention this now, and go into detail later. John 1:29, according to Luther, does not mean "bear the sins of the world" in the sense of absolving all unbelievers, as the UOJ Hive claims.
The UOJ dogma is another case of turning the meaning of a passage upside-down. The UOJ spin can certainly qualify as a fallacy of emphasis, by inventing a world absolution when the revelation is about atonement.
I know everyone has a Kregel, so they can go over those pages carefully before I write more.
