Don't Bring a Box of Chocolates to a Knife Fight


The porkers of Church and Change will not give their lives for the Gospel, but they will kill for those synod subsidies, foundation grants, and Thrivent projects.


The WELSian false teachers demand that anyone who questions them must come, hat in hand, groveling, with a box of chocolates, to their knife fight. The errorists need to have a 10-to-1 advantage or they run away from a meeting.

They script their performances, meeting in advance.

When people come to these meetings with good hearts, gentle intentions, and humility, they are bulldozed by the combination of deceit, denial, and denunciation. If one false teacher reveals how demonic he really is, the others step in and change the subject.

For example, DP Robert Mueller revealed that he never told congregations that they were about to call a known adulterer, because "They won't call him." A layman went into shock over that admission of deviousness, so the subject was changed immediately.

The only weapon that can be used in a knife fight is the Sword of the Spirit.

KJV Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

A thorough knowledge of the Book of Concord is also invaluable. The Confessions will come alive when studied in the light of doctrinal conflict. They cannot be understood as a history book. That is like using the Triglotta as a chin-prop for naps in class at the Sausage Factory.
