Silly man! How could a conversation about Justification be separate from Christ? Typical of WELS clergy, Rydecki pulled the plug on a discussion just at the moment when readers started practicing discernment.
I hope those who read Intrepid Lutherans who actually want to be intrepid will use this discernment-killing move by Rydecki to recognize that the WELS, much like liberal progressive politicians, MUST control information and massage data to have any success. These company men, whether UOJ storm trooper or no, will not submit to an open exchange of ideas. The Company is always right, and if that means we have to experience spiritual brain-death so Be it, seems to be the ingrained attitude.
Intrepid readers: if you feel it is worth your time to read "Intrepid" keep bringing up UOJ! Heap on burning coals of honesty and courtesy. Heap on coals of discernment. It very well may be that Rydecki and the other administrators of "Intrepid" have had their jobs threatened by the powers-that-be. Give him a reason to question himself, and the merits of their relationship to the mother WELS.
You know, some tumors are inoperable. If a tumor gets too big, its removal will cause such a massive blood loss that the patient will die. This principle is true with synods. The WELS meningioma might very be too invasively placed or too large to remove while keeping the synod in one piece.
Luckily, this is not so with the Invisible Church.

GJ - My intuition is - the post was dictated by one of the WELS Stormtroopers. Rydecki.1 was Lutheran, 24 hours ago. Rydecki.2 was a complete Enthusiast, especially in his final comment about a justification discussion taking away from Christ.
