The recent eructations of the UOJists made me think of passalong plants while I was brushing my teeth. A pass-along is often identified rather vaguely as "that's from my brother-in-law's neighbor's friend."
Between Rolf Preus' oblation to CFW Walther and the LutherQueasies designation of Justification by Faith as Calvinism, I had a glimpse of their wretchedly poor, shallow, hackneyed education.
Nobody has been reading for the last 50 or more years. They just pass-along little quips that have no relationship to the history of doctrine or Biblical exegesis. Seminary Professor Boofer bellows his so-called truisms at the quivering students and they remember them, due to vast repetition over the decades, the echoes sounding forth in conference papers, speeches, and coffee hours.
The Pass-Alongs
- Justification by Faith is Calvinism.
- Universal Objective Justification is the Chief Article of Christianity.
- To imagine that we receive forgiveness through faith, that we are counted righteous the way Abraham was! - that is rationalism. Get my boots ready for extending the Left Foot of Fellowship.
- We have Walther - we do not need the Bible, Book of Concord, or Luther.
