Here are the two posts related to the letter:

Well said Rev. Bickel.
Intimidation is a hallmark of those who are not led by the Holy Ghost.
SP Schroeder remembers standing at the end of the hallway during the 2012 Emmaus conference while everyone was out to lunch, fiddling with his phone and staring at me while I stood behind my Justification by Faith table patiently waiting for the participants to return. Soon after their return they sent a pastor to tell me to stop talking to the attendees.
I find it interesting that the current WELS SP would urged you to call him so that if you would critically speak anymore in public, that you would have some "factual information." - all while denying you that same factual information by refusing to write a concise email with clear specifics about his concerns.
Very similar to DP hireling Pastor Jon Buchholz who in his 2005 UOJ Convention essay stated that heresy was departing from Scripture and then immediately admitting to departing from Scripture in his trifecta defense of the false gospel of UOJ which drives and energizes the rampant apostacy in the Lutheran [self sic] Synods.
Concordist and faithful servant to Scripture, Aegidius Hunnius, was hired specifically to renounce Calvanism and subsequent false teachings and who thoroughly, clearly and without reservation condemned Samuel Huber's UOJ which is exactly the same as the false gospel of UOJ that Schroeder and Buchholz violently force the laity to gorge upon by condemning and withholding Christ's pure Gospel and chief article of Christian doctrine - One Justification solely by Faith Alone.

Certainly their condemnation is deserved and the result is for them to see the Synod they were given to lead crumble into abject apostasy as it continues to finance Thrivents abortion practices, the New Age Religion and all manner of occult doctrines.

Pastor emeritus Nathan Bickel has left a new comment on your post "Why Is SP Schroeder Contacting Nathan Bickel When ...":
Brett Meyer -
Thank you for your personal witnessed account. I don't doubt in the least how there was an attempted intimidation as you seem to describe. I have no time or tolerance for that type of intimidation [either]. You well said:
>>>>>>>> I find it interesting that the current WELS SP would urged you to call him so that if you would critically speak anymore in public, that you would have some "factual information," - all while denying you that same factual information by refusing to write a concise email with clear specifics about his concerns. <<<<<<<<<<
That stated goal of "factual information," raised red flags with me. It smacked of the Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat," over-kill overture. If someone is so intent to deliver me the [supposed] Gospel truth, then why wouldn't that somebody be willing to specifically point out where I supposedly have gotten it wrong? It was all obviously an attempted intimidation ploy. That's what church hierarchy does best when it desires to cruise right over the real issues and ignore them.
The reality is - and, I indicated it in my open letter; Rev. SP Schroeder has some big fish to fry. Those "big fish" are the rampant preaching, teaching and practice of the false doctrine of universal objective justification that is promulgated widespread in the Christian world - and, in his small corner of it, - WELS. To continue to deny that and allow the preaching of synod's pastors to molest the Scripture's teaching of the Atonement, making it out to be an end all, and scratching [out] the Holy Spirit's role in the process, of creating individual faith and cultivating that faith to the soul's end, - that, all, is deplorable. There is simply no excuse to deny what is going on. Ichabod has been pounding this UOJ issue. And, WELS leaders and SP Schroeder can't see it? Are their minds living in some distant alien planets?
Finally, it would be refreshing to witness more WELS members rise up and object to this universalism false teaching. It is a contaminating force. It needs to be met head-on. Thank the good Lord for Ichabod! May God have mercy as Lord only knows how many WELS members are negatively affected and are led to believe that their faith does not matter - but, only what mother synod proclaims through its universalism pastors!
