| Jim Heiser told me he loathed Objective Justification, after he read Thy Strong Word, but subsequently set up joint work with Rolf Preus. I wondered how he could do that, but he said, "We are going to get rid of Rolf." Heiser also spoke at Higher Things, the OJ boot camp for LCMS children.

A reader said about the Rolfiad:
It is 100 % clear that the only kind of justification the Scriptures or the Confessions know is justification by grace through faith in Christ. While it is true that Christ died for all, not one is forgiven apart from faith.
Look at the last paragraph in the left hand column on page 55, which states, "The very opposite is the case." Preus writes that since no one can see another's faith absolution depends on objective justification. What? What he is saying is that absolution is valid regardless of personal faith because of objective justification. Well, there's a word for that" "universalism."

| Rolf has a better way than Paul, Luther, or the Book of Concord: CFW Walther, who was weak in languages and not academically qualified to teach a synod. However, he began an inbred system where his dogmatic buddies taught the Objective Justification of Halle University, where Bishop Stephan - another poor student with a big title - learned it. |
 |
| Easter absolution of the entire world is the Halle solution, invented from 1 Timothy 3:16. Chemnitz thought otherwise, but Jay Webber sided with Halle's Rambach. |
 |
| OJ is anti-Gospel, anti-Means of Grace, pure Enthusiasm. Rolf has no concept of the Biblical view, so he repeats his dogma always and forever. |
 |
| We need the quasi-Calvinism of Pietism to be certain of absolution? Rolf seems unaware that P. Leyser, an editor of the Book of Concord, crushed this kind of thinking from Samuel "former Calvinist" Huber. |
 |
| This is a patent rejection of Justification by Faith. Those who identify with the actual text favor the Holy Spirit's revelation in Paul, in John, in Jesus' own words. |
 |
| Hardened hearts and blind eyes still find OJ everywhere. And tis! The Adventists teach it much like Rolf. The Calvinists and Universalists do too. What do they all have in common? - a spirit of rationalism. |
 |
| The Preus shame is the attack on WAM II by Jack and Robert Preus. WAM II taught Justification by Faith, like his father, the founder of the Lutheran Hour. Jack and Bob unloaded a ton of Walther UOJ polemics and Bob quoted the nonsense below. Bob woke up to JBFA before he died. |
