Reactions to DP Jon Buchholz Suspending Pastor Rydecki - Christian News

"Steadfast Universalists" never gives up: http://steadfastlutherans.org/?p=23678

Note Pastor Kirchner's kind post (number eight). This is the same pastor who told me I was mean and nasty for questioning the LCMS being in fellowship with the ELCK, an LWF member. How dare I question CTSFW giving an honorary doctorate to Bishop Obare for getting fired from his leadership position with LWF for "taking a stand," yet whose ELCK remains an LWF member to this day. I apparently don't care about feeding the poor.

It's also interesting how 8/18 gurus can make educated pronouncements about disciplinary issues in another church body, yet do nothing about false doctrine and practice in their own.

"Let’s be real and open here this morning. Depending on the vote this next Wednesday, this is either my last sermon from this pulpit, or it’s the last sermon I’ll preach to you as a congregation of the WELS."
- Rev. Paul Rydecki (Posted 10-14-12)

Let's hope that Emmanuel realizes what a rare, Confessional Pastor they have and vote to stay with the Word of our God and the scriptural confession of the Book of Concord!

GJ - The Steadfast Universalist post is a hoot, all the UOJ truisms put together in a vaporous cloud without rain, accompanied by the gibbering, cackling, and buzzing of the troops.

Nevertheless, one LCMS minister says he does not know of a single UOJ pastor. He finds Halle's dogma as foreign as animal sacrifice.

Hi Pastor Jackson, you're right that at this time Pastor Rydecki is still pastor of his church in New Mexico. I e-mailed him to inform him of the upcoming CN article and he responded: "One correction: '…is the pastor of a WELS church in Las Cruces.' I don’t know when this is going to presses, so the information may not be correct as of that time. I am still the pastor of my WELS congregation, until the voters meet this Wednesday, Oct. 17. At that time they will decide whether to disaffiliate from the WELS. If they do, then I will be the pastor of a non-WELS congregation. If they don’t, then I’ll resign from this WELS congregation." The general thrust of the article that Rydecki is in trouble with WELS is certainly correct, though. I will update CN when I find out what happens on Wednesday.

A post from Pr. Scheer from the above cited link: "In regards to the situation for Pr. Rydecki, he will not be writing more for Steadfast Lutherans. It was a mutual decision. Some of the information about his situation is still coming out. Because of these facts, his situation should best be discussed elsewhere."

I wondered how long Pr. Rydecki would last for failing to properly venerate Walther.

By the way, since Walther was assumed, was he also immaculately conceived?

The Photoshop devils added McCain and Got Milk?
to the painting he posted in veneration of St. Bernard.


GJ - Steadfast is obvious a closed union shop for UOJ and the consecrated reign of Matt Harrison. It is just too amusing to call it a discussion site. The irony remains - UOJ has become a minority position again among the LCMS clergy.

UOJ paved the way for Missouri's unionism.

UOJ justified Missouri's embrace of the Church Shrinkage Movement.

UOJ - especially the Steadfast flavor - is ideal preparation for joining the Church of Rome. Even better, they can be Roman as long as they like - with CPH leading the way. They even have their own court chaplain, Weedon, installed at the Purple Palace.

Father Neuhaus says, "Leave Paul McCain alone.
He was my pal and cheerleader."

Dr. Greg,

Please tell Pr. Rydecki that I am praying for him.
