Rolf Preus Endorses Fellow-UOJist Jack Cascione, Who Enthused That We Are Justified Before Birth

UOJists were united at the ELDONA conferences,
but Heiser said, "We will get rid of Rolf."
Nevertheless the Rolf Synod, minus Rolf, continued with ELDONA
until the slightly larger sect discovered Justification by Faith.

Pastor Rolf Preus on SpenerQuest:
The owner of this website, Rev. Jack Cascione, has written a book that disproves the documentary hypothesis, a theory that has held sway in liberal theological institutions for many years. He demonstrates the single authorship of the Pentateuch.

GJ - "Those Missourians!" as Paul McCain said, quoting the Pope. They are so full of themselves.

Forty-four years ago, I took Hebrew exegesis of Genesis with Dr. Robert Wilson, whose achievements included chairing the Department of Religious Studies at Yale.

During the class. one student said, "The names of God are supposed to tell us who the editors of Genesis are, but they do not match up." The student was quite concerned since most of us were spoon-fed the Documentary Hypothesis in college.

Wilson said, "What do you say about the theory when the facts do not support it?

The student said in a quavering voice, "The theory is wrong?"

Wilson said nothing more.

My three Biblical professors at Yale - 

  • Nils A. Dahl - Gospel of Mark, New Testament Christology, both Greek exegesis
  • Abraham Malherbe - Greek exegesis of 1 and 2 Thessalonians
  • Robert Wilson - Hebrew exegesis of Genesis -
wanted us to know the modern theories and their authors. Liberal scholars like Mowinkel were their professors. But these three Yale professors insisted on us studying the text itself and not filtering our knowledge through the theories popular in Biblical studies.

So I am almost impressed that Jack Cascione has discovered a reason why the Documentary Hypothesis is wrong. Perhaps he can move onto the dogma of Universal Objective Justification.

He quoted Robert Preus' citing Edward Preuss, approving this nonsense, which is comical and illogical -

 Has he even read Romans 4?
