The LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) leaders reject this, because they trust in the efficacy and power of Walther - not the Word of God. |
Someone asked about how people read the clear Word of God and make utterly false and fatuous claims, such as universal salvation without faith.
This becomes especially clear when we see how WELS-LCMS-ELS-yay even CLC (sic) chase after Fuller, Willow Creek, and Trinity Divinity gimmicks, notions, and potions.
If the Word of God is not powerful and effective, then the frantic apostates are going to look for the trick-du-jour to make their denominations grow, or at least to fake it.
I believe that the leaders of the sects listed above are apostates and simply use Church Growth and its camouflage Missional to advance their false doctrine.
They cripplle the brain-washed noggins of their seminarians by filling them with doubt about the Word, especial via UOJ, but also by bowing and scraping to Fuller/Willow Creek.
The Church Growth stars have been notorious adulterers, and not just with women, as the LCMS knows. They have also been abusive in various ways. Is it any surprise, given the synodical need to ape the original snake oil salesmen?
Fuller became the New Jerusalem with Bohlmann in the LCMS, Naumann in WELS. The leaders and clergy have continued that trend ever since.
One comical aspect of "conservative" Lutheran Church Growth leaders is their need for a fake doctoral degree - the drive-buy DMin (in CG of course):
- Kincaid Smith
- Paul Calvin Kelm
- Richard Krause
- Lawrence Otto Olson
- John Parlow
- Steve Witte
- Kent Hunter
- Various alums like David Valleskey, F. Bivens, J. Huebner. Pencil in all the American Missions board members, one way or another, who have studied at Fuller, Willow Creek, or both.
The Calvinists of Fuller, Willow Creek, and other cesspools reject "the Word never without the Spirit, the Spirit never without the Word." That is why they market the Gospel. |
