Bet on Bad Doctrine in the Age of Apostasy



B. Teigen proved that the Synodical Conference adopted the heretical view of the Lord's Supper, and his own colleagues treated him like a leper.

Missouri, WELS, ELCA, and the Little Sect on the Prairie have been meeting at Fuller Seminary for decades, yet self-described Confessionals refuse to acknowledge this or wage war against Pasadena Pietism.

The supposedly orthodox Franz Pieper used the same language about justification as the doctrinal textbook of Halle Pietism, the English translation of Knapp, and no one can admit this, even with the documentation published on the Net.

Walther's ideas about justification came from his rationalistic training at Leipzig University and from Martin Stephan. His four-year degree and immersion in a Pietistic cult established the boundaries of his theological education, much like the seminary grads of today. (But today, the seminary graduates need four extra years of repeat-after-me training.) Walther picked Pieper, his own student, to parrot his ideas, which were contrary to the Scriptures and the Book of Concord.

The world mission efforts of the Olde Synodical Conference mirror the heresy of Samuel Huber, and the "conservative" Lutherans brag about it. They need more R and R - Rio and Riviera.
