The 9-23-2019 Christian News features Rolfie One-Note laying down a smothering blanket of Chief Article fog so he can re-define it as Objective Justification. Like the elderly, confused Joe Biden, his self-serving prolixity focuses on his astonishing abilities.
Likewise, scam artists begin with their pledge of honesty, sincerity, and dedication to their clients just before laying out their newest scheme to deprive someone of money. I love having them on the phone, because the right question makes them explode in anger and hang up.
The OJ scam artists accomplish their magic by combining and confusing two topics in the Scriptures. Because they are stuck on OJ the way chewing gum is stuck on shoes, the hidden agenda - and its perfume - become evident quickly.
OJ is simply - "God has absolved the sins of the world" or "God has declared the entire world forgiven." This comes from Calvinism, but they emphasize covenant and being the elect. Nevertheless, it is grace without the Means of Grace.
To work their magic, the OJ spinners have to throw their black capes over OJ for a second and transform it into Justification by Faith. Zarling and Bivens did this when Rolfie One-Note was falling off his Sears Roebuck trike.
Thus Rev. One-Note - "The chief article of the faith is justification through faith alone. Justification through faith alone is impossible without objective justification."
Just like that felon CFW Walther and the nincompoop JP Meyer, justification requires faith in universal absolution without faith.
In their wrath, the OJ Stormtroopers cite every atonement passage they can find, to prove what is never stated in the Scriptures or the Confessions, Luther or Chemnitz or Melanchthon.
In effect, by amalgamating atonement and justification, the neo-Calvinists fail to teach either topic correctly. That is why Mark Jeske can get WELS and LCMS to listen to gay activist Rev. Heidi Neumark, with hardly a squeak from the timid Christian News.
