Romans 4:24-25King James Version (KJV)
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Webber and Buchholz want to be experts in Romans, but they cannot grasp that Romans 4 destroys their entire argument. They must either charge St. Paul and the Holy Spirit with being fickle, or they have to concede that Walther and his syphilitic bishop were false teachers. They would also have to conclude that the Synodical Conference was bereft of doctrinal integrity for citing Romans 4:25 constantly in support of its precious Universal Objective Justification. Therefore, the Brief Confession of 1932 is a farce for getting the Gospel wrong, for inserting Halle University's rationalistic Pietism into Lutheran doctrine.

The other hidey-hole for UOJ Stormtroopers is Robert Preus' support of the dogma, but his final book repudiated that claim, even though it was edited by his UOJ loyalist sons. The following two quotations are citations from Justification and Rome, Preus' final book.

| This Calov quotation is from Justification and Rome, belying the claim that Calov was another UOJ fanatic. |

| When did the imputation - counting us righteous - take place? Quenstedt is not in Walther's cell group. Below is J. Gerhard, who was cited falsely by the Synodical Conference as a UOJ leader, even though he worked closely with Martin Chemnitz.  |
