All Hat - No Cattle:
The Bedroom Blogger Strikes Again



Paul McCain - again:
Just a warning to those who may be reading this and might be misled by Mr. Jackson.

Mr. Jackson is a former Lutheran pastor who moved from Lutheran church to Lutheran church, being removed from at least two, as he managed to make himself persona non grata in LCA, LCMS, WELS and CLC circles. He has now tried, with increasing desperation and childish displays of pique, created an alleged “congregation” that consists of immediate family members and a very small circle of Internet congregants, even to the point of claiming to “distribute” the “Lord’s Supper” to them via an Internet connection and streaming worship services from a spare bedroom in his home.

He has a need to be regarded as some sort of expert on all things Lutheran. Suffice it to say, Mr. Jackson never understood Robert Preus, for he never, at any point, in spite of the many academic credentials he loves to mention, received a thorough orthodox and confessional Lutheran education.

So, please warned and aware of Mr. Jackson and his dangerous false teaching.

I have cautioned the BJS web master to be aware that Jackson and his followers will attempt to dominate every conversation on this site, always eager to try to promote and propagate their false teaching. They will, if left unchecked, attempt to turn attention to themselves and their agenda no matter what the topic of conversation here is.

Mr. Jackson has been banned from any number of other Lutheran discussion sites for this behavior.

John Standley replied:

How about your behavior, Mr. McCain? You’re pretty unloving as well. If what Dr. Jackson says is sooooo wrong then all you have to do is cite the Word and understand that the Word will show the correct doctrine, whether it be your side or his side. Using personal attacks shows that you are worried that the Word won’t do what it’s supposed to do.

Do I agree with some of Jackson’s tactics? No. I see his humor and I laugh along with him. But it seems like you and others get really pissed and then try to defame him. At least Dr. Jackson, when he speaks against what a person says, uses cited quotes from that person.

Like I said before, when you submit yourself to the level of bad-talk instead of dealing with the words, you show yourself to be scared that your words won’t work — instead of trusting God’s Word to work where and when it pleases.

P.S. I appreciate your work on the new BoC.

McCain, You are just sour because Jackson had a more thorough education and unlike you he was not intellectually in-bred.

GJ - I do not know who John Standley is. I thought his response was perspicacious.

I am impressed by the number of people willing to challenge the wacky world absolution opinion so ardently promoted by McCain, Preus, Cascione, F. Pieper, J. P. Meyer, Walther, and Bishop Stephan the Syphilitic. The issue is not agreement with me, but with the Word of God.

Why is a parish-allergic book salesmen so offended that people wanted to participate in traditional Lutheran services? People all over the world watch our videos and read the sermons. They can judge for themselves.

Bethany Lutheran Church has shown the Olde Synodical Conference how to reach people across the world without spending millions of dollars - but that is the point. How can mission executives travel to Rio and the French Riviera if some bloke is broadcasting for free across the world?

We do not beg for Thrivent dollars or sell their insurance in exchange for church calendars, free napkins, and commissions disguised as grants. Therefore, we do not support the Salvation Army religion (as Thrivent does) or Habitat for Humanity.

There is a precedent for a tent-making ministry. Hint - it rhymes with McCain's first name.

McCain parades his slander as facts. Each choleric post has a different falsehood added, but that comes from the man who was not working with Otten, although Otten has files full of McCain materials.

Why did McCain suddenly apologize to Norman Teigen, privately and publicly? I have the letter Norman wrote to Concordia Publishing House. More significantly, why did McCain viciously attack Norman, inventing a spurious charge and suggesting Teigen should be excommunicated? I could see no connection between Norman's modest and humble comment and McCain's rage - when it first appeared.

I could dissect McCain's latest tantrum, but I would rather laugh at the responses to him. If that is his defense of UOJ, the false doctrine is finished, kaput, shovel-ready.

Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "All Hat - No Cattle: The Bedroom Blogger Strikes A...":

McCain, "received a thorough orthodox and confessional Lutheran education."

Translation: "received a thorough Synodical indoctrination."

When clergy question the false gospel of UOJ in the Lutheran Synods it usually becomes a circus, like watching hobo's on a hotdog, as they form a posse to re-educate the one so bold as to question the undocumented doctrine.

GJ - Repeat-after-me is the standard fare at seminaries. During the Seminex days, the so-called student rebels were simply following what their professors told them to think.

The MDiv's devotion to their professor's lecture notes is touching indeed, but contrary to their ordination vows, based on the Word of God and the Confessions.
