Martin Noland denies Universal Justification (UOJ)

"Objective Justification—Again"

      Continuing my series of posts (Drs. Kolb and Detlev Schulz) demonstrating the LCMS opposition to a pure understanding of the Lutheran Doctrine of Justification, I offer the following quote of Rev. Dr. Martin Noland in the journal Logia, vol. 5 (1996), no. 4, p. 64 (emphasis mine): 

“It does not follow that because the human race is reconciled to God that each and every individual is reconciled.”

This blog has called out Dr. Noland numerous times, but this quote gets to Noland's core problem, his difficulty with the heart of Christianity. This quote explicitly denies Universal Justification or Universal Reconciliation.  One could assume that Dr. Noland is talking about "subjective justification", but he himself begins this statement with universality, "the human race is reconciled to God". Noland then asserts a statement of fiction and places himself dangerously close to another earlier theologian that Franz Pieper identified as an apostate, Johann David Michaelis.  I call on Dr. Noland to explicitly deny his 1996 clear statement and confess the true Lutheran Doctrine of Justification. Only then can he truly teach (*) what "Grace" really means, as Pieper taught.
