| Surely the Jack Pack knows more than an editor of the Book of Concord! |
A few illiterates object to my polemics, where I endorse the efficacy of the Word, the Means of Grace, and Justification by Faith. They cry like Brownies caught in a thunderstorm, never thinking they have a life-long hatred for Justification by Faith, while they cling to the opposite - Objective Justification. They are at war against Biblical doctrine.
They try to be polemicists (based on the Greek word for war), but they have no ammunition. For example, a good polemicist knows the other side and carefully portrays that as a position to oppose. The UOJ Salesmen do not even start, perhaps because their Spidey sense tells them they are not arguing with me, but with the Book of Concord, the Lutheran Reformation, and the Scriptures.
Notice how seldom they make a case from the Scriptures. More like never. They repeat single verses as if that one verse clinches their case. The strangest is Romans 4:25, omitting the verse before. LCMS Pastor Steve Flo is so opposed to Romans 4:24 that he rephrased it as "If we believed we are already forgiven..." Rolf has given up on exclamations of "Raised for our justification!" because I have shown repeatedly how Romans 4 is a short, perfect essay on Justification by Faith, with Abraham as the star.
Now Rolf is on a new toot - Election without Faith, which John Sparky Brenner correctly identified as an OJ strategy. Brenner is still a false teacher advocating OJ and refusing to say Justification by Faith. However, he is an exception to the norm - OJ advocates shamelessly lying.

| So WELS-ELCA-LCMS-ELS-CLC, so goofy. |
What comes through so clearly is the UOJ hated for faith and their love of rationalism. Rather than starting with the Scriptures, they begin with "If this is true, then..." Like statistics, anyone can do anything with such arguments.
The latest Rolf effort, Election without Faith, is his lame attempt to push OJ forward while hiding the agenda.

| What was Rolf Preus gaining from palling around with a self-appointed bishop? Why was Jim Heiser against OJ and yet seeking fellowship with Mr. OJ? "Guilty feet have got no rhythm." |
