LCMS denies Universal Justification: Detlev Schulz

      Some readers may question my assertion that the LC-MS teachers are increasingly confused on the fundamental article of Christianity, the Doctrine of Justification.  But to continue from the previous post on Dr. Robert Kolb, I will add this quote from a well-known theologian, Dr. Klaus Detlev Schulz, from Concordia Theological Seminary-Fort Wayne, and compare it with two other quotes on the matter of Universal Justification:
CPH 2009, p. 122
Book of Concord
(Martin Luther)
Walther / Pieper / Stöckhardt
“The paradox of Christology is that all men are redeemed in Christ while only those who believe are justified.”

All … are justified without merit”
“So writes for instance the Apostle Paul in Rom. 4:25… But such justification is a universal one, acquired for all men”

I wish Dr. Schulz had not been so explicit in his denial of the chief Doctrine of Christianity (Ap IV, §2), especially in his high position as teacher for Missions, or "Missiology".  There is no "Missiology" without the proper teaching of Grace and Justification.
