Reviewing the 8-15-2016 Issue of Christian News
Reading CN So You Don't Have To.
The Two Groups Are Playing for the Same Team

Jeff Kloha is the provost at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

Kloha received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England (2006). He earned a Master of Sacred Theology, Bible/Biblical Studies and Master of Divinity degree from Concordia Seminary (1999, 1992). He completed his bachelor’s degree in English language and literature/letters at Concordia University-Ann Arbor (1988).

He served as associate pastor at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Lakewood, Ohio (1993-99).

Two pastors play for the same team.

Both groups play for the same team, too -
Universal Objective Justification.

I know Montgomery, Cascione, and Hellwig argue for UOJ and against Justification by Faith, which makes them special in Pastor Herman Otten's eyes. LCMS Pastor Steve Flo - in this issue - is so engorged with UOJ that he thought my literal paraphrase of Romans 4:24-25 was blasphemy and scolded me for it. He NIVed it into "also for those who believe they were already forgiven..." blah blah, to quote Shakespeare/Oxford, Romeo and Juliet.

Bucky Hellwig phoned me and demanded, "Have you read the Theses on Justification?" Apparently, they supersede the Scriptures and the Book of Concord. I said, "Yes," and he slammed the phone down.

Otten should stay on this issue until the end of time, so no one has to discuss the Gospel and Justification by Faith during the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation.

I wrote the complete article on July 28, 2016
and most will not see it in CN until August 8th.
For fast results, read Ichabod, The Glory Has Departed

This is an all-Lutheran sport.
Even those like Herman Otten join the sport.

The Christian News headline means nothing without the graphic above. I had to look up the quotation to see what CN was talking about - see their headline above.
