A Little Book on Justification Twists the Enthusiasts into Knots

Ft. Wayne graduate Philip Hale does not understand Justification by Faith, the Chief Article of Christianity.

"In The Path to Understanding Justification, Gregory L. Jackson continues what seems to be his singular mission in life – that of trying to convince basically all of American Lutheranism that they have been wrong on justification for at least 150 years. Though he once published in support of objective justification in an early writing (the first edition of Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant), he is now convinced that it is the greatest error possible in doctrine today." Philip Hale in an email to David Becker and CN.
My answer - The false teachers always want to absorb and include anyone who pointed out their errors as actually on their side in earlier days. I have repeatedly stated that I once thought they were talking about Objective Justification being the Atonement and Subjective Justification being Justification by Faith. 

I have never believed OJ - because it is anti-Biblical - and that is what gets the Hale's knickers in a knot.

 The Path Is Biblical Exegesis, not regurgitated Calvinism.

Francis Pieper did a fine job of mixing around the terms, and his followers have aped his confusion. 
The core falsehood of every version and label of OJ is this - "God has declared the entire world righteous, forgiven - even saved," though they have a devil of a time naming the Moment of World Absolution.
The laity are driving the badly educated pastors crazy by pointing out the OJ errors and lies.
The OJ advocates return to their disgusting arguments, as the dog returns to his vomit. (Proverbs 26:11)
