Objective Justification Lecture - One of the Most Read and Loathed

A Brief History of Objective Justification, Part 3

 

Huber, Rambach, Knapp, Stephan, Walther, Preuss, Pieper, and the Preus brothers led the LCMS into the lupine jaws and claws of ELCA.

The Post-Modern Era of Objective Justification

Walther is so adored today that many imply his immaculate conception, born without sin, and clearly teach his assumption into heaven.

Pope Walther, B.A., had to have his way - so he arranged for Francis Pieper (Wisconsin Synod) to be crowned the dogmatics professor. He changed the vote from the districts to the national convention, which CFW controlled. 

Francis Pieper came from the equally Pietistic sect, the Wisconsin Synod. His brother in Wisconsin, August, also promoted Objective Justification. Francis cleverly blended efficacy and the Means of Grace, Justification by Faith and Objective Justification.

Fuerbringer was the nephew of Walther and served as the president of Concordia, St. Louis. 

Pieper (1852-1931) served in several influential posts for 33 years - seminary professor, seminary president, synod president. He locked down Objective Justification in the Brief Statement of 1932, approved post mortem. After 1932, OJ replaced the Chief Article. The Missouri apostates began to treat that particular Brief Statement as the 67th book of the Bible.

From Bishop Stephan, STD to LCMS Bishop Harrison!

A Brief History of Objective Justification, Part 2

 

Stephan the adulterer led about 700 people - and CFW Walther's circle - to America. Stephan was trained at Halle University and taught Objective Justification to Walther. Stephan made himself bishop, and Walther made himself pope.

Missouri loves to ignore this fact - Preuss, a seminary professor in Walther's era, became a Roman Catholic after seeing a "sign from God" a colorful sunset. The LCMS still praises his book on Objective Justification.

Notice the Robert Preus, Jack Cascione, Paul McCain verbatim agreement with Edward Preuss. 

Ft. Wayners, like Jay Webber and Jim Heiser, were happy to endorse and promote Objective Justification. Irony alert - being offended by Justification by Faith.
