Yeah it has been around but it is just too choice to let it die. . .
Joyce Meyer was once a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and apparently has not forgotten the words of the confession (a poor, miserable sinner) which, according to her own words, she is not or at least no longer.
One does not have to make up things to condemn the manifold personalities that claim a place in the spotlight of Christian TV... one only has to wait for them to be caught by their own words. . . Her words mark her as one outside the pale of orthodox Christianity on this point. . . but there are also many other points of digression from the true Christian confession. . . more to come.

Lutherans should hang on to this one when they are trying to get through to people about the "simul justus et peculator" concept. She is a perfect model of today's mind set on sinning.
You Lutherans just don't get it. Joyce Meyer DOES teach "simul justus et peccator"; she simply doesn't call it that. Like you, she believes that spiritual problems remain unresolved in the baptized. She may say "struggling with sin" or "unsanctified" instead of "sinner"; she may direct people to a "second baptism" instead of endless pastoral absolutions to fix the problem. Yet she's still contradicting Romans 8:1 just as much as you.
