LCMS Lavender Joint Book of Concord
Sex and America’s Political Conscience: Seared, Hardened, and “Woke” All at the Same Time (part I of II)

This ELCA professor was a key player in the 2009
change of policy in ELCA. See the article below.

 ELCA's Fortress needed to be bailed out, so LCMS worked with themin publishing a Book of Concord where everyone made some bucks.
"It's all about the benjies." - 29A says.

 LCMS Robert Kolb 

Psalm1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

LCMS Charles Arand is busy turning Concordia St. Louis into another Seminex, with the help of Matt the Fatt and Paul the Plagiarist.

 Theresa Latini - a Presbyterian who taught at Luther Seminary (?!) -
was fired from United Lutheran Seminary for being a milimeter to the right of its board and students.

Sex and America’s Political Conscience: Seared, Hardened, and “Woke” All at the Same Time (part I of II):



"Way back in 2009, when the Lutheran theologian Timothy Wengert provided the justification for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America’s (ELCA) acceptance of homosexual behavior by their clergy, many who both reject Christ and who claim Christ were doubtless gratified. On the other hand, the short paper Wengert wrote which did this, “Reflections on the Bound Conscience in Lutheran Theology,”[1] prompted my own pastor – a Lutheran who loves and adheres to the 1580 Book of Concord – to study the topic of conscience in the work of Martin Luther.


…or with Luther’s existentialist, pragmatic interpreters…
I highly recommend reading Pastor Paul Strawn’s paper, as you will learn about…:

Wengert’s “simply tragic” (I’d use a different word) failure to acknowledge existing scholarship that had been done on Martin Luther and the conscience by highly noted scholars (I add, this is a good way to kill your conscience about conscience).
How for Luther, “the burdening of the conscience with man-made laws or traditions, and the burdening of the conscience by the Law of God in view of sin, are two vastly different things.”
How this conscience burdened by God’s Law is an “evil conscience,” “plagued by guilt and despair in the face of the knowledge of God’s judgment upon a specific sin.”
How an evil conscience can become hardened: “man can and does fight against his conscience and eventually, may even be able to subdue it so that it goes into a type of dormancy.”
How Luther found these things not only in the Bible, but in the character of Orestes in Virgil’s Aeneid: the Erinyes, or Furies, of Alecto (“unceasing”), Megaera (“grudging”), and Tisiphone (“avenging murder,” hounding the guilty for their sin). If hell is not feared, future pain and suffering certainly is."

 Now we begin to smell the pot roast. The bonds of fellowship for ELCA and Missouri are UOJ. Jungkuntz chaired the Seminex board when they became the official seminary for the Metropolitan Community Church.

Is the $90 LCMS dogmatics book another UOJ fantasy?
I am not willing to spend the money to prove it.
