The pattern is the same in various denominations: giants of apostasy like the Episcopal Church or ELCA, and the itty-bitty buzz-saws like the CLC (sic). Sanctimonious clergy and their lay counterparts mouth the words of Scripture while violating the Word of God.
They howl about lovelessness, which is another word for telling the truth.
They are ruthless, nasty people. The smoothest operators get away with the most. They hide behind the worker bees, letting them get swatted. For example, everyone felt safe in calling Larry Olson a heretic, though no one did anything about it. But no one identified the false doctrine of David Valleskey until I did. Good ol' Dave certainly raged behind the scenes. He had his sock-puppets do his work for him, so he could smile and be untainted. He did not like having the truth come out.
The Shrinkers have expanded ever since Gerlach, Ernie Wendland, Valleskey, and Wayne Mueller set the standards for false doctrine being promoted. They have too many worker bees to swat all at once.
The Doctrinal Pussycats elected to support them have to go first.
Every doctrinal discussion is a victory for the Word of God and a defeat for them. That is why they want to continue their anonymous personal attacks forever. Even the gall of raising a doctrinal issue is worthy of a fresh round of ad hominem.
The Word of God is clear and plain, incapable of defeat. The efficacious Word has not been tried and found wanting. It has hardly been tried at all. (Apologies to Chesterton)
The Shrinkers are bent on proving the Scriptures to be true. "When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith?" They have even made faith into something bad.
