How sad that at Thanksgiving you have to be thankful for Church and Change being "exposed."
No, how delightful. To be Confessional, one must repudiate error as well as affirm the truth of the Scriptures. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Mt 7
"Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing." Mt 7
"Mark and avoid." Romans 16
"False doctrine is a cancer."
Real love means showing errorists their mistakes. It is not loving to bow at Stetzer's feet, to kiss Sweet's ring, to get a diagnosis from the Church Doctor.
"It is not love, but the Word that converts." (Luther)
Tearing Up (I was repeating the Church and Change sayings for fun.)

As I recall conversations with now sainted pastors who were involved in the WELS/LCMS split, none ever used the word "delightful" to describe their attitude toward no longer being able to walk together with a brother because of doctrine. Instead, I heard words of pain and sadness. The fact you delight in such things says so very much. That is exactly what is wrong with this blog and why I won't post again. While you may love the Lord and his Word, you have not learned how to speak the truth with love to others. I hope your Thanksgiving was delightful. Goodbye.

"Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing." Mt 7
John and his cohorts love to refer to this passage. However, the nature of this blog- it's unloving attitude, its libelous accusations, and it's delight in inciting argument - leads me to believe that the wolves we need to watch for are those authoring this blog and ruthlessly condemning anyone who opposes their view.
The comments I read on here certainly do not reflect the love Christ showed us. Nor do they follow his commands.
Faith in Christ and his true gospel means living that faith. You profess to have this faith. Yet your actions show otherwise.

Oh my! The Pietists are going to stop attacking the Confessional Lutherans for being "unloving." I, for one, will suffer no withdrawal pains during the drought.
It is fun to watch the Pietists angrily condemn everyone who is not on their side of the rock band, calling the liturgical Lutherans all kinds of names, ending with "unloving."
The WELS/LCMS split was phony and ended officially soon after it started. They all met at Fuller Seminary and began their union activities all over again.

The crusade is on: the church and changers are infuriated that this blog and others have challenged their ideologies.

Good thing nobody, not even church and changers, do this.

Nobody do this?
Church and Changers rush off to see Stetzer and book him. They pouted, hissed, and fumed when they could not have Sweet, Hunter, and Werning.
Werning is starring in a sequel to Weekend at Bernie's.

You're right. They do far worse. They PAY these false teachers! Hmm, isn't there something in Scripture about supporting the work of false teachers? Something about how people who support them are just as guilty as they are?
Oh well, who needs Scripture when you have "love", right?
