Name That Theologian from His Concepts about Grace

The scholar in his study

I.
God issued a decree (nota bene - we are not sure when) - either before Adam sinned or after Adam sinned - that some would be saved by grace but most would be damned to Hell for eternity.

God's election is without faith, because it is based purely on His own sovereign will. His Holy Spirit may attend the preaching of a sermon or not. If not, the sermon will have no effect.

Those who disagree with this system are always called Arminians, a pejorative term.

II.
God decreed (nota bene - we are not sure exactly when, since this decree was not recorded in Holy Writ) - that all people for all time were pronounced forgiven and saved. This took place at the death of Christ, at His resurrection, or possibly at the angelic announcement of His birth - "Peace on earth, good will to men."

God's election is without faith, because faith would reduce salvation to a work of man. Therefore, election without faith glorifies His grace.

Those who disagree with this system are accused of Intuitu Fidei (alternatively Inuitu (sic) Fidei, Fox Valley), Calvinism, and Arminianism.

 Calvin was reborn 200 years ago.

Test Answers - Do Not Peek
I. The first theologian is John Calvin.

II. The second theologian is CFW Walther, who argued ferociously for election without faith. He consistently taught what he learned from Halle-trained Bishop Martin Stephan -

• the Easter absolution of the world, 
• aka Objective Justification, 
• aka General Justification, 
• aka the Justification of the World, 
• aka Universal Objective Justification. All are extra-Biblical divine decrees divorced from the Word, the Spirit, and faith.

Both systems are taught apart from and against the Scriptures. Both systems can be explained without any mention of Justification by Faith and the Means of Grace. In fact, the classical terms from the Book of Concord, written above in a dignified blue font, are avoided the way mobsters avoid taxes.

Both men were influential and divisive at the same time. The saying about Calvinists is just as true about UOJists, because both argue from human wisdom and pure rationalism -

"Young Calvinist - Old Unitarian."

If the readers enjoy rationalism, consider the ways Missouri, WELS, and the Little Sect justify themselves for working with the pro-abortion, pro-ELCA Thrivent Insurance and Planned Giving Company.

 Carroll Herman Little (1872-1958),
Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, Ontario, now ELCA related.

Amnesty Program

Thus objective justification may be specifically defined, again, in the words of Dr. Little: “Objective justification is God’s declaration of amnesty to the world of sinners on the basis of the vicarious obedience of Christ, by which He secured a perfect righteousness for all mankind, which God accepted as a reconciliation of the world to Himself, imputing to mankind the merits of the Redeemer.” (Dr. C. H. Little in Disputed Doctrines, p. 60, quoted by E. W. A. Koehler in A Summary of Christian Doctrine, p. 147).

Opinion | The Conspiracy Theory That Says Trump Is a Genius - The New York Times:



"Last week Roseanne Barr — who, with the hit reboot of her show, has become one of the most prominent Donald Trump supporters in the country — tweeted that the president has freed hundreds of children a month from sexual bondage. “He has broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere,” she wrote. (The tweet has since been deleted.)

Barr’s tweet, puzzling to the casual observer, was a reference to QAnon, an expansive, complicated pro-Trump conspiracy theory."

Our Obligation Is Not to Institutions But to the Revealed Word of God

Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement

The Quenstedt quotation linked here is essential in theology but easily and oftenly ignored. When I sought to prove the foundational truth of the efficacy of the Word, the idle chatter about Lutheran doctrine became quite apparent. Like the chatterboxes on a Facebook forum, the Lutheran leaders simply talk and write in PowerPoint slides.

Further (I, 36): 

"Divine revelation is the first and the last source of sacred Theology, beyond which theological discussion among Christians dare not proceed. For every doubt concerning religion in the mind of a true Christian is removed by divine revelation, and by this the faith of the believer grows so strong, and is so firmly established, that it frees his mind from all fear and suspicion of deception, and imparts to him a firm assurance."

Any lawyer would ask, "What is the evidence or warrant behind their claims?" Their arguments do not stand up to scrutiny. The UOJ con artists pretend to be against the gross hyperboles of JP Meyer - the Koko-Mogul - but they repeat his errors endlessly and praise themselves for winsome homage to their Father Below. The two most entertaining clowns in this category are Jon-Boy Buchholz and Oh! J! Webber.

Perhaps some readers, always looking for mistakes, are howling with rage about the incidental humor of the opening. They do not like my colorful descriptions of their idols or my "tone." It is time to get out my Eighth Commandment graphic.

Distractions aside, I am trying to get people to do research on their own, first from The Source, the Word of God, and then from the best and most faithful authors.

That is why we must continually thank and praise such intellectualoids as David Valleskey, Paul Kuske, Waldo Werning (RIP), and Roger Kovaciny. Their ruminations inevitably put most people into a comatose suspension of thought, but the rest of us into persistent pursuit of the principles of Biblical research.

The Book of Concord, on its own, is a reference work largely ignored by almost all Lutherans, universally despised by Lutheran leaders. I doubt whether anyone could get appointed or elected today without loudly repudiating the Confessions in the right company.

However, the Book of Concord is a powerful guide to the Scriptures when the false teachers are making their arguments for the latest, best, and most lucrative programs ever offered.

Alec Satin observed about Vance:

He makes an excellent point in chapter 1, which is that Calvinism's main strength is its insistence that the only choices are Calvinism (true Christianity) and Arminianism (Romanism).  Vance writes:

"...the weapons of Calvinism are ignorance and intimidation.  When everything contrary to Calvinism is labeled Arminianism and Arminianism is presented in the worst possible light, it is no wonder that so many men have claimed to be Calvinists... It is clearly evident that without the name of Arminius to use as an epithet of condemnation, the Calvinists would have a much harder time getting men to join their side."  pp. 9-10

Sovereign Grace Baptists
Someone directed me to Vance's The Other Side of Calvinism, where the author meticulously examines the influence of the Geneva Reformer.

I am doing my homework in preparation for Calvin Ruined the Protestant Faith. Vance shows how influential Calvin is among the Baptists, often indicated by a great emphasis on grace. Mutatis mutandis (allowing for certain changes), the Calvinistic Baptists sound just like the UOJ Lutherans. They are always crowing about grace but tear down the Means of Grace.

Bob Burns popularized the bazooka, which then became
the name for an anti-tank weapon. Arkansas culture.

Listening to a UOJ artist trying to incorporate Justification by Faith or the Means of Grace into his blabber is like hearing a concerto played on a bazooka by a cow. Impressive? Yes. Funny - even more so. But only those know who have studied the Scriptures on their own and read the Lutheran classics.

Dr. Lito Cruz first wrote to me about how Calvinistic the UOJ gurus sounded to him, and he had a lot of experience with the Geneva tribe. Later I will try to describe this effect. Perhaps some know that the Germans of the old Missouri Synod were very fond of Calvinism and used their need to study English as an excuse for reading Calvinism. That is rather funny, considering the rest of the Lutherans had extensive publications in English, and they were far more Lutheran than the Walther-Pieper disciples.

In Thy Strong Word I quoted a Missouri author criticizing his colleagues for reading Calvinism. I will look that up later.

"Theologian criticized in Benedict’s letter had ‘seismic’ influence on Amoris Laetitia: report
03/31/2018 at 11:27 AM Posted by Mary Anne Hackett

By Dorothy Cummings McLean

March 27, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The theologian criticized by Pope Emeritus Benedict in his recent controversy-causing letter to the head of Vatican communications is a major influence on Pope Francis’s theology of marriage.

German theologian Peter Hünermann, 89, was mentioned by name in Benedict’s letter, which was on the topic of an 11-volume series on Pope Francis’ theology which Benedict declined to read. The Pope Emeritus expressed surprise that Hünermann had been asked to write a volume. This section of the letter was originally omitted from the public by the Vatican.

Hünermann had led “anti-papal initiatives,” Benedict stated in his letter, and “virulently attacked the magisterial authority of the Pope [John Paul II], especially on questions of moral theology.”

“Additionally, the ‘Europäische Theologengesellschaft’ [European Society of Catholic Theology], which he founded, was initially conceived by him as an organization in opposition to the papal magisterium. Later, the ecclesial sense of many theologians blocked this orientation, making that organization a normal instrument of encounter among theologians,” Benedict added."

Cardinal Burke: Pope Francis is ‘increasing the confusion’ (FULL INTERVIEW)
Diane Montagna Follow Diane

Catholic , Pope Francis , Raymond Burke

ROME, April 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis is “increasing the confusion” in the Church, and the College of Cardinals constitutes a de facto check against papal error, Cardinal Raymond Burke has said in a new interview.

Speaking to the Italian Catholic news agency La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, Cardinal Burke said the alleged ‘interview’ on hell with Pope Francis, published on Holy Thursday by his 94-year-old atheist friend, Eugenio Scalfari, “went beyond what is tolerable.”

Burke also called the Vatican’s response to the “scandalized reactions” from across the globe “highly inadequate,” because it failed to reassert the Church’s teaching on the immortality of the soul and the existence of hell. He said it also failed to assert that Pope Francis repudiates the “erroneous and even heretical ideas” attributed to him.

“It has been a source of profound scandal not only for many Catholics but also for many people in the secular world who have respect for the Catholic Church and its teachings, even if they do not share them,” he said.

“This playing around with faith and doctrine, at the highest level of the Church, rightly leaves pastors and faithful scandalized,” he added.

Cardinal Burke said the situation is further aggravated by the silence of so many bishops and cardinals, some of whom “pretend there is nothing serious going on.”"

 It will be a great comfort for all the UOJ Enthusiasts to be greeted by guilt-free saints in Hell, including the citizens of Sodom.

Former Arkansas College President Pleads Guilty to Fraud. Oren Paris III Received Largest Tax Grant in the State, Will Testify Against Partners in Crime

Former Arkansas college president pleads guilty to fraud:

 Shelton and his lawyer leaving an earlier session.

"Neal, a Republican, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count on Jan. 4, 2017, for his role, admitting he took two kickbacks totaling $38,000 in exchange for directing grants to two nonprofit groups. He has not been sentenced.

The indictment doesn't give a total figure of what Wood is accused of receiving in kickbacks because portions of it were reportedly paid in cash.

Ecclesia College is still listed by the U.S. Department of Education on a watch list affecting its cash flow, according to the department's website. And the school is a defendant in an ongoing Washington County Circuit Court lawsuit over its refusal to release financial documents concerning the Improvement Fund grants.

Paris had tried to distance himself from Woods since the indictments were handed up March 1, 2017. He asked for a separate trial on April 24 of last year -- a month after the indictments were served. Paris argued the indictment against Woods alleged wrongdoing outside of the Ecclesia grants. Brooks denied the request."

How To Plant Roses - Much Easier Than People Imagine

 Edith's Darling grew well last summer but did not last the winter.

 The baby's name was Marigold, so you can see why the rose has this name.

The former landscaper pointed at the bare root roses in the rain-barrel and demanded, "What are those?"

Roses are harvested and stored in refrigeration. When people buy roses at most locations, they are potted, leafing out, and often in bloom. All those locations get their roses bare root, or at least the main distributors do.

I buy from Edmunds Roses, so they send bare root roses in a bag with damp moss. If they do not grow, I can ask for free replacements. They arrive early, because roses tolerate the cold, long before the local stores have them.

And I get to choose instead of going through what is left.

1. I open the package, slit open the bag, and sink the bag of roses in the rain-barrel. My minimum is 24 hours, but I have soaked them for days when necessary.
2. If possible, I plant them before a long rain. 
3. Last fall, I ended with bags of peat compost, which are a combination of peat and manure. Another way to improve the start is to buy topsoil or generate compost. Red wiggler earthworms will improve ordinary soil and make good soil even better.
4. I dig out the heavy clay soil for each rose and cut tree roots away.
5. The rose is positioned to keep the bud union under the soil surface, to protect against hard freezes. I also use role collars to protect the rose in the winter. One reader found our hose by spotting the 27 white rose collars.
6. The rose will grow better if the canes and roots are pruned somewhat. The best start I ever had came from a long soak and heavy pruning of the canes and roots. I always prune both sides of the rose equation.
7. I fill around the plant with peat compost and clay.
8. If no rain is coming, I water the canes and base each day if dry and windy, or every other day. The canes really need extra watering before the leaves pop out.
9. I planted yesterday and will water today. Friday will be a heavy rain and thunderstorm, God willing.

 Purple Splash is a climber that I gave to a helper,
and it is still growing well.

Why Are the UOJ Pharisees So Irritable?

 The WELS Discussion Pharisees ignore the Augsburg Confession, the Apology, and the Chief Article.

Someone directed me to WELS debating UOJ on Facebook - again. They do not discuss Justification by Faith, the Chief Article of Christianity, because UOJ comforts them and makes them feel superior.

Am I maligning the Pharisees by associating them with WELS and the Little Sect on the Prairie?

Everyone should concede that the WELS/ELS blokes preening about their UOJ have no excuse - given our volume of material teaching the Gospel. As we can see from John's Gospel, which they also ignore, some of the Jewish leaders believed in Jesus and were forgiven and saved.

Fools Gold from the WELS Discussions

Marzan Ozarraga Venus Tnx Donald Hochmuth I found out that he is ELDONA. It came across as a shock to me when he claims that wels believed that by UOJ we mean justification even for those who are in hell. It is obvious to me at face value that it was off the rails observation for him. But I was just trying to test him here on that accusation. tnx for the time.

GJ - Yes, WELS teaches that everyone in Hell is a guilt-free saint.

David Ude Yes Marzan Ozarraga Venus, the folks in eldona only get to their view either by completely rejecting what the Bible is saying or by completely ignoring what we are actually saying. Lutherans have always been clear on this, stressing uoj and sj at the same and steadfastly refusing the idea that everyone will go to heaven.

GJ - Ude admitted faith in those guilt-free saints in Hell and sealed the deal with the comment above.

Gerard Johnson The WELS rightly kicked out the false teacher Paul Rydecki when he denied the beautiful biblical doctrine of UOJ, that all men are justified whether they believe it or not, instead teaching that only those with faith in Jesus are justified. He went to the ELDoNA which is why they get so riled up about it. Like brother Tembreull pointed out above, the ELDoNA nuts may maintain the universal atonement, but OJ is about justification, not atonement. Jutification (sic) means forgiveness and declared righteous according to our shared confession. All sinners are forgiven and declared righteous like your wonderful WELS "This We Beleive (sic)" says. That is the end of the matter, and if ELDoNA rejects that, shake the dust off your feet and ignore their works! 

Once again i just want to thank the WELS for their stalwart confession in this matter. Would that my beloved LCMS had the same intestinal fortitude!!!

GJ - Denying the Chief Article is "stalwart"? Oh my.

Ron Pederson Think about the implication of denying objective justification: God has not forgiven my sins but if I believe He has, then He has.

GJ - Their Objective Justification term is from the Calvinist translator of a Halle Pietist professor - Knapp. And yet the act of questioning this newly invented dogma is converted into a sin.

Someone asked pertinent questions about UOJ's contradictions. This was a response - 

Joe Jewell Thomas Alan: going forward, you need to disagree WITHOUT the name-calling (it’s especially ironic that you would need to be told this given that many of your ad hominems have been in the vein of “snot-nosed kid”).

It’s not helpful, contentless, and completely uncalled for. Please refrain. The most gratuitous of your comments has been deleted. To be clear: The debate is fine, welcome even (confrontation too!), but no reason we need to call names.

GJ - Funny how only one side gets dressed down by the WELS/ELS moderators. Beware the wrath of the UOJ Pharisees.

Major Factual Errors in This UOJ Discussion

Various people make these claims, which are patently false:

1. WELS/ELS - "They have always taught UOJ." No, the Gausewitz catechism did not, and it served the Synodical Conference decades until "improved by WELS" and then kicked under the bus. The much newer, verbose, and pedantic Kuske catechism is UOJ.
2. The LCMS has never officially taught UOJ. Its catechisms teach Justification by Faith. However, the UOJ faction does control the Missouri Synod.
3. Jay Webber - who constantly links his pathetic essay and the Buchholz debacle - tries to call Justification by Faith "synergism." That proves he does not grasp Biblical doctrine or the history of doctrine. He reminds me of Tim Glende, who invented Inuitu Fidei!

The Vatican is an officially recognized state with its own diplomatic corps. Therefore, news about Pope Francis is always world news and involves far more than liturgical colors and the price of incense.

When the Jesuit Antichrist is an apostate, as judged by Catholic dogma, it is time to be on the alert. More than ever before, the Pastoral Epistles are proving that the Apostle Paul was correct.

1 Timothy 4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

2 Timothy 4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

This must be read with 1 and 2 Timothy.

2 Thessalonians 2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (Apostasy) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Roman Catholic church.
