The UOJists Are Acting Out 1 John 2

Webber finally got an STM - from an online school run by ELCA and Lutherans wedded to Church Growth and UOJ.ILT trains women for ordination in ELCA and boasts of their accomplishments.

I always go to LutherQueasy for humor breaks. Here is one - Jay Webber, endless spinner of tales about Luther teaching Justification without Faith (Objective Justification) has this quotation, without any citation. Concordia Ft. Wayne puffed up seminarians  without giving them academic skills: McCain, Webber, Cascione, Heiser, and many others.

Hermann Sasse wrote: 

...in the moment we set up a doctrine which the Scripture does not actually proclaim [GJ - like OJ?] we have crossed the dividing line between theology and philosophy, and have left the sola Scriptura (the Scripture alone). That is the danger which all Bible-believing and confessionally faithful theology must again and again guard against.

I chose 1 John to continue Greek lessons for our Internet audience. I am sure Ft. Wayne graduates would love to do the same, but they are Shakespearian, with "small Latin and less Greek."

I John 2:1-12 is an excellent lesson about those who do not teach the truth and hate the brothers, lying about their true affiliations.


I John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

What happens when someone confesses the truth of the Chief Article - that we are Justified by Faith Alone?

Answer - the UOJists jump on that person and indulge in the most hateful behavior. Their tools are:

  • Invoking Holy Mother Sect, because the UOJists think only of the sect and are truly in sects for the long haul.
  • Citing their wooden idols of OJ, such as Edward Preuss, who became a Roman Catholic leader; Rambach, 100% Halle Pietist; and Pietist CFW Walther, BA, who learned his OJ from his promiscuous, syphilitic bishop, Martin Stephan - Halle student.
  • Silencing the Gospel with all their meddling, back-biting, and shunning.
  • Spreading the hatred to friends and family members, so they try to defend the truth and get the same treatment.
  • Not confessing their hatred of the Chief Article, but claiming that status for the opposite - OJ - keeping the topic on "denying muh precious OJ." 
  • Proving heaven and earth will pass away before they admit their real creed, "We hate and reject Justification by Faith Alone."
 This Photoshop represents how the UOJists are united under Thrivent and ELCA Presiding Bishop Liz Eaton. No one of these is a Lutheran.

His partner in this venture was an ELCA pastor.
 Jack Kilcrease is an instructor at a Catholic college and at ILT. I suspect *Jack had much to do with Webber's STM paper, which became his Halleluia Chorus to OJ at Emmaus, a conference where people come to have their eyes blinded. Justification by Faith materials were banned there, too.
*Jack was born in a WELS parsonage, attended Luther College ELCA and Luther Seminary ELCA.
