This looks like another verbatim copy. See for yourself.
I see nothing wrong with cloning an entire post, if the original author is clearly identified and his contributions are acknowledged with the right editorial formatting.
This is disgraceful, to pretend to be writing Cyberbrethren posts while copying them from other sources. But he is busy ordering people NOT to quote me or link me. I wonder why. The guilty runs when no one pursues. He startles at the sound of rustling leaves.
Big shot!

McCain has some interesting fellowship principles. Quote and link to the Antichrist all you want, but the same is verboten when it comes to Dr. Jackson. Dr. Jackson is worse than the Antichrist it seems.

GJ - Bruce, you are the only person who imagines that Paul has principles.

Why the WELS and LCMS don't grow. The UOJ doctrine makes them too close to the reformed doctrinally. I just rec'd an email where former WELS members who moved out east reported there was no WELS church in the area, so they checked out an LCMS church. The service was "pretty bad," the liturgy was "horrible," and the sermon was "uninspiring". The pastor joked around with the elders during communion. (Sounds like UOJ antinomianism at work, to me.) Having so quickly given up on the WELS and LCMS, they are checking out a Presbyterian church, and reported that "the reformed Presbyterian church (PCA) beliefs match up quite closely to the
Wisconsin Synod Lutheran" synod. Since they had a good experience with the PCA, they think that maybe "other [Reformed] conservative churches" like the Reformed Methodist and Reformed Baptists might be equally acceptable, but they haven't checked any of those out yet.
So you can see what is going on--the Lutherans copied the Reformed righteousness before faith concept, but not their limited atonement concept which puts the brakes on the antinomianism that righteousness before faith implies. Double-predestination also puts on the brakes, but only very conservative Reformed groups believe in DP. Anyway, that's why the Reformed have more gravitas than most Synodical Conference antinomians. Any gravitas the Synodical Conference had was a hold over from the days before they adopted UOJ.
