Jesuit Jack Kilcrease Shows Signs of Stress from His Flailing of UOJ

Norma Boeckler posted this beautiful graphic,
which set off Jack Kilcrease, part-time tutor at a Catholic girls school.
Norma had to re-post the graphic, kilcreasing Kilcrease.
GJ - Jack Kilcrease is following the example of his mentor, Paul McCain. Both of them start rants against me, at random location, for no apparent reason. This is Jack's second meltdown on a FB thread where I was not even a participant. My wife is a participant on this one, so she reported Jack's comments as abusive hate-speech.

To show how sleazy Jack is, he blocks me on FB so I cannot see a thing he is writing when I am using my own account. So he cranks out the methane and I only see responses tp jo,, if I even know what  is happening.

However, many of us have various accounts, so Jack's puerile antics can be addressed as they richly deserve.

To end bullying, stand up to them. Show them for what they are. If I were his spouse I would be ashamed to be pictured beside a string of unsupported, dishonest accusations.

For the record, Jack knows nothing about me and has never met me. He knows even less than McCain, whose hair-trigger temper and Freudian posts have earned him the nickname Pistolero Paul.

  • Jack Kilcrease It's nice that you're sharing your art work with us. If you don't mind me asking: why have you decided to associate with the heretic and false teacher Gregory L. Jackson? He is busy leading many people away from God's grace. This deeply concerns me and I think it might deeply concern people on this facebook group.
  • Norma Boeckler I have not found him to be a false teacher! I have illustrated many books for him and the written content is orthodox! He uses the KJV Bible, Book of Concord, Luther's writings, Lenski, Jacobs, and other writings of the old church fathers. So where do you find him a false teacher?
  • Jack Kilcrease He denies that God's grace is objectively real. He believes that God's grace is conditional only on us having faith. This is false. God's grace is real, and this creates our faith- not the other way around. This is the reason that he has been defrocked in multiple Lutheran denominations.
  • Norma Boeckler Where do you get your information about him being defrocked?

[GJ - Jack is hiding his comments from me. He cannot tell satire when it's right in front of him. No really, I am sure he must be a full-time tutor by now. Those Jesuits are so serious.]
***



GJ - Jack constantly amuses Lutherans by emerging from the tall grass to post more evidence of his troubled mind, only to retreat and erase everything he posted. We started calling it "kilcreasing," when someone posts obnoxious material, then erases all the posts - even the entire blog. He sent a long, nasty email to Mrs. Ichabod, then blocked her so she could not reply. Her original message to him was quite polite.

Tim Glende and Joe Krohn have kilcreased their blogs several times. They share Jack's Enthusiasm for UOJ.

Jack applied for LCMS colloquy and was turned down. He has never been a Lutheran pastor, but is busy kissing up to the UOJ crowd in the Missouri Synod. Jack is Pistolero Paul's expert in theology. No, I am not joking.

Roman Catholics teach grace too, but what a mixed bag that is. God's grace must be accompanied by works, or faith formed by obligation. As Luther taught so clearly in his Galatians commentary, that subverts grace entirely.

Kilcrease was trained by ELCA and the Jesuits, even though his father was a WELS pastor, so he knows how to slither in and out of various arguments, without ever approaching the truth. He probably dazzles the adolescent girls at the Little Flower Convent School.

Grace without the Means of Grace is called Enthusiasm, which is repudiated in the Book of Concord, by Luther himself.

Pastor emeritus Nathan Bickel has left a new comment on your post "Jesuit Jack Kilcrease Shows Signs of Stress from H...":

Ichabod -

I gain the feeling that this Kilcrease fellow is an unstable slippery type eel. Not only do I get the feeling that he is somewhat unstable and unsavory; but, I have to conclude that he is familiar with twisting the Scripture.

He says about you:

>>>>>> "He denies that God's grace is objectively real. He believes that God's grace is conditional only on us having faith. This is false. God's grace is real, and this creates our faith- not the other way around. This is the reason that he has been defrocked in multiple Lutheran denominations." [Kilcrease's far-fetched description] <<<<<<

Nowhere have I ever read on this website that you diminish God's grace. In fact you readily acknowledge Ephesians 2:1-9. Kilcrease's own words illustrate how he denies the Third Person of the Trinity by not attributing to Him the creation of personal faith. Kilcrease's own words are indicative of the falsity of universal objective justification, which his fellow enthusiasts, worship.

Also, I find that Kilcrease's reasoning lacks much to be desired. He makes wild claims about you which he does not substantiate and evidence. It appears to me that he has the same type of mentality as the McCaininites; which leads me to ask:

"Has he gotten into McCain's private storehouse of Mother Mary's lactation? Or, has McCain been teaching him the St. Bernard art of kneeling and sucking it all in?"

http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2012/08/serious-laughter-from-paul-mccain.html

Ichabod - Don't waste your time even considering what Kilcrease stated. Perhaps, McCain spiked the milk and Kilcrease was talking out of his head (again)......

GJ - Kilcrease is a nominal Missouri Synod member, so the unaware think he is loyal to the SynCon Racket.

On the other hand, he is a rent-a-prof with this Lutheran Theology Institute, which is selling unaccredited seminary degrees. All the faculty seem to be ELCA. That is no problem, because he knows many of them, after going to an ELCA college and an ELCA seminary. Left unsaid is why he left WELS for ELCA, especially since his father was a WELS pastor.

But on the other hand, as Tevyev said in Fiddler, he is teaching at a Roman Catholic school, the same religious order that performed so well during the Inquisition.


MISSION & VISION
The Institute of Lutheran Theology is an independent, pan-Lutheran theological project, holding that God in Jesus Christ brings sinners to repentance and new life. Because of its commitment to Scripture, to the Lutheran Confessions, and to deep dialogue with the contemporary intellectual horizon, the Institute works with supporting congregations to educate the next generation of faithful Lutheran preachers and teachers.
The faculty seem to be pan-ELCA, although that seems to be hidden fairly well.

Like McCain, Kilcrease works under three different operating systems: Roman Catholic (yea Neuhaus, Weedon, and Holy Father Antichrist); ELCA (buddies from countless Thrivent conferences and programs); and LCMS (one Dogma, UOJ, to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them).

Upper South Carolina Bishop sets up task force to consider blessing same sex unions 
Bishop Waldo is liberal, so are most of his priests, but the people of the state are conservative and voted against same-sex unions

NEWS ANALYSIS

By David W. Virtue 
www.virtueonline.org 
September 25, 2012

The Rt. Rev. W. Andrew Waldo, bishop of Upper South Carolina has a problem. Big problem. Following General Convention's vote in favor of a provisional liturgy for the blessing of same-sex unions, he promised to follow up on his own "no" vote on that resolution (A049) with a process to articulate the boundaries within which he and they can live in unity within this Diocese, even in disagreements on this issue. In late July, through a communication with diocesan clergy - active, licensed and retired - he sought applications for membership in a task force to work with him in doing that work.

VOL: Waldo's "no" is a provisional no. It is not the last word. Who does he think he is kidding? It will be no until it is yes. That will be only a matter of time, somewhere between 6 and 18 months. The Law of Non-Contradiction, however, means he cannot have it both ways. It will have to be a clear cut decision. In the end, we know which way this will go.

WALDO: As I chose members of the task force from a healthy number of applications, I sought to balance theological acumen, perspective, congregational representation, passion and availability for the work, and other, in some cases quite specific, gifts for this work. Required of all, and indeed present in all the applications I received, was a devotion to the good news of God in Christ Jesus and to articulating a way forward in the church that holds us together. Such a way forward will, by definition, ask all of us to remember our servant ministry towards one another and ask us to live graciously in a tension we are unlikely to resolve. 

VOL: There is not a single orthodox voice in the diocese that would dare stand up and say, "Scripture, tradition and reason utterly and totally oppose such 'blessings'. In fact, Scripture is clear that sodomy itself is a non-starter, and having openly avowed homosexual and lesbian priests and bishops is also a non-starter and all of this violates the very law of God at every level." No such voice will be raised. There is not a clergyperson in the diocese who would say that. If he/she did, someone would need to call 911 to pick Waldo off the floor and apply mouth to mouth resuscitation waiting for the EMT wagon to check him for a stroke.

WALDO: The way forward must be deeply rooted in the evangelical imperative, and it must engage scripture, tradition and reason-both in the very pastoral and human dimensions that have challenged the church to address same-sex relationships and, more rigorously, in the theological dimensions that have given a moral grounding for the church over many centuries through the received tradition. 

VOL: I'm an evangelical. Waldo is not. If he really believed in the "evangelical imperative", he would have done what his next door neighbor did at General Convention, the honorable Mark Lawrence, who marched out of the HOB saying the church's action was a bridge too far and he would have nothing more to do with TEC. The use of the word "pastoral" has become a fudge word in TEC to mean, "you can be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered" but stay with us, sooner or later your sexuality will be recognized by these dumbass Carolinians and all will be well. Don't leave us, we are in transition and we need your money to keep it all going.'

Waldo cited "the theological dimensions that have given a moral grounding for the church over many centuries through the received tradition." If that is true, and it is, then what is there to discuss or talk about? The "received tradition" requires no further explication. It's a done deal. Scripture cannot be twisted to accommodate a handful of pansexualists at the beginning of the 21st Century. Furthermore, what does Waldo not get about a denomination in decline precisely because of these sexual innovations. 

WALDO: Our task will be to help me articulate the boundaries within which we might live together that includes same-sex relationships and those who struggle with the church's decisions with clarity and substance.

VOL: There are no (new) boundaries to articulate. They have already been articulated. God has articulated them, Scripture has defined them. Does Waldo think 20 million evangelical Nigerian Anglicans with all their bishops and archbishops wake up each morning and agonize before the cross over same sex unions or gay marriage? They know what Scripture says; they don't need a Task Force to tell them. They also know what Muslim extremists think and DO as they are watching their churches being torched and their people murdered in part because Western liberal bishops in the US and Canada have nosedived into a sexual cesspool that is driving Islamist mullahs mad with hatred at us.

WALDO: This will be hard work. But it will also be work with unexpected blessings for the members of the task force and for our entire diocesan community. I have asked each member to be ready to listen, to pray, to work, to write, to present and, above all, to love one another.

VOL: Waldo has a problem. He is liberal, most if not all his clergy are liberal, but his constituency is not. They are mostly conservative. In 2006, South Carolina voters adopted South Carolina Amendment 1 by 78%, that amended the constitution to ban same-sex marriage and civil unions in the state. An August 2011 Public Policy Polling survey found that 21% of South Carolina voters thought that same-sex marriage should be legal, while 69% thought it should be illegal and 10% were not sure. Waldo knows this so he is walking on cut glass hoping his feet won't bleed too much if his constituency decides to walk out on him if he and his Task Force decide that A049 must be obeyed. The faithful will leave the diocese and their parishes en masse. The ACNA is ready to receive them. He also knows that Katharine Jefferts Schori will be all over his case if he dares violate a resolution passed by General Convention. So it won't happen. Waldo has a ringside chair at the upcoming Diocese of South Carolina boxing match. We all know there is going to be blood on the floor when that is all over. He doesn't fancy that happening to him.

WALDO: We will need each of you to pray for us, not for us to fully resolve our differences, because that would be more than we could deliver. We will need for you to pray that we listen deeply for and to God and to each other, that we might have wisdom and clarity, and that we devote ourselves fully to work that might faithfully, truthfully and authentically unify us in our diversity.

VOL: This is episcobabble. Prayer won't change a thing. Prayer is used as a mantra to do whatever the Task Force and Waldo decides. Does anybody think for a moment that a priest will stand up and say, "God told me in prayer today that we must not violate His Holy Word, and we should not bless such unions, they are offensive to a Holy God and to the blessed Trinity, the church's received teaching and 6,000 years of history." It won't happen. Furthermore, we know what "listening" means. It means you will listen and listen and listen till we wear you down and you agree with us. The whole "listening process" coming out of London over homosexuality is a one-sided affair designed to broker sodomy into the Anglican Communion as a whole. If Waldo and his Task Force do not resolve the issue, and they won't, then this is what will happen. The diocese will deliver the line, "All May, None Must, Some Should". And everybody will go home happy that they have not exactly compromised God's word written but they haven't endorsed it either.

Waldo says he is working with a 6-18-month framework. "We cannot rush, and yet we will be deliberate in moving forward in our work."

VOL: James 1:8 states it so clearly, "He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." Or as the New Living Translation puts it, "Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do." These are the words that will ring in the Task Force's ears as they leave the cathedral. It's what God really thinks.

Anyone can look at the Episcopalian Diaprax above and see the parallels to the WELS Process (Diaprax) being used on the clergy and members for the NNIV.

WELS has been "studying" the issue for a long time, with the same goal in mind, to vent all the emotions against the New NIV so everyone will passively approve it, go away, or accept their excommunication. WELS did the same with the "classic" NIV, replacing the KJV through Sausage Factory propaganda, studies, a wee bit of mea culpa from Jester John Jeske, and driving out the anti-NIV pastors.

Elderly WELS members recall the days when their sect mocked the other groups for accepting the modern translations when they had their faithful KJVs.

Delusional Pope Buchholz used Diaprax to ease Jeff Gunn's Rick Warren style parish into WELS. It took four years and two hand-picked commissions to realize that his congregation had to be welcomed into the sect. Buchholz did not want to rush to judgment, he told me, because he was concerned about all those souls.

Why be concerned? Everyone is already forgiven and saved, according to Buchholz.

Buchie could not grasp why I called him an Enthusiast.
Therefore, he is not "apt to teach," and cannot serve as a pastor.

The Stalinistic Prison Camp, Called the WELS Educational System


solafide (http://solafide.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Gracepoints - The Fruit of Church and Change. The ...":

I agree Pastor Bickel, getting back to the basics is exactly what we need. The possibility of this happening, however, is unlikely because for far too long we've all been more interested in churning out "scholar pastors" instead of good pastors, some of which may be scholars.

The WELS is especially guilty of this, even going so far to "forget" that MLC and Seminary Professors are still sinful human beings. These people are to be revered, honored, and obeyed unconditionally, because of their years of service to the Church (Growth Movement) and their experience and training, which may include advanced degrees. To question a professor, even in private, is a fast track to getting your name on a list of people to be kicked out at the next faculty review. Questioning the faculty is viewed as heresy, so much so that at MLC, they took away the power of the President, an outside party, to grant student appeals and instead placed them all in the same staff that made the decisions in the first place.

GJ - WELS probably has the most abusive system among the SynCons (Synodical Confidence Racket). They consider any departure from the Fuller Seminary orthodoxy to be a terrifying threat to their easy money and soft life.

ELCA began the process of getting rid of all threats to their system, starting at the student entry level. WELS, Missouri, and the Little Sect remove students for thought crimes. Some tell qualified students, "We will not let you apply for seminary. Just because."

Missouri is so decadent now that a man can invest a fortune in getting through seminary without getting a call. The school has his money from cash, scholarships, and student loans. He has a worthless but Yale-expensive degree.

Corrupt apostates will make sure they are backed up by additional corrupt apostates.
