Additional Copies of Calvin Ruined the Protestant Faith Have Been Ordered

The first few copies of Calvin Ruined the Protestant Faith arrived in home - even ours, so I sent another round out.

The new orders have March 25th as the arrival date, which varies like the weather. The latest ones were early.

The prices on Amazon are non-profit, but the author's prices are below that by about 33%.

Kindle ebooks are 99 cents. Only the huge ones are $2.99.

The best way to say thanks is to go to the Amazon and Kindle pages for a given book and comment on it. Basic rules are below.

Now Arriving - Calvin Ruined the Protestant Faith

Calvin Ruined the Protestant Faith just arrived. I know some are getting theirs today - or soon.

The book is a visual delight, thanks to Norma A. Boeckler. I kept it in large format because those prefer a printed book also like the larger size.

I have started another round of print orders.

LutherQueasies Mocking Justification by Faith

LutherQueasy kills threads once I have sliced the low-class baloney they put out. With malice prepense, I quote them verbatim.

I wonder if someone there has GA experience from WELS - playing a game, taking both sides at once.

United by allegiance to their Father Below, they began quoting Melanchthon's Apology, one of the best sources for Justification by Faith.

First it was SS, then Rolfie One-Note, whose devotion to forgiveness without faith makes me dab the tears (of laughter) from my eyes.

Working my way through Scaer's undisciplined autobiography, I noticed him using Subjective Justification as a synonym for Justification by Faith. Either the Ft. Wayne faculty and students are fatally stupid, or they play for the gallery du jour. They spew hatred for the Chief Article - as LQ and Rolfie always do - or they do a U-turn for a moment and wear the livery of the Christian Faith. But the trouble with being a chameleon is - they can turn every color but white.

To be clear, Objective Justification is NOT the Atonement, and Dr. Robert Preus said so.

To correct Dave Scaer - with a in-house ThD from the hive CFW Walther built - Subjective Justification is agreeing with the absolution of the world without faith. Let's hear it from the kidnapper, gold and land thief, and riot organizer hisself -

 This is a clear, articulate reproduction of Halle Pietism, as taught by Bohemian Pietist Martin Stephan to Pietist CFW Walther, BA.

"Let not many be teachers." The less one knows about Biblical doctrine (see P. Hale, the Preus clan, Oh! Jay Webber, Mad Jack Cascione, the faculty of both LCMS seminaries, Mordor, and the Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie) - the more one ignorantly yaks about his specialty.

The greater condemnation is reserved for you, brothers, for playing political games to enjoy the income, prestige, security, and benefits of your position. James 3:1 - for reference.

Mediocrities in the Church Visible are drawn together by their need for unearned luxury and acclaim. One liar honors the other, and all liars stick together. Could this be why WELS-LCMS are failing almost as fast as their brethren and sistern in the other mainline sects?

Rolfie One-Note tells people I am not allowed to quote his father's book, which he supposedly edited without noticing its repudiation of UOJ. However, he solved that problem (like Hale) by not mentioning it in his North Dakota lectures.

The Ft. Wayne Twist - Revealed by One of Its Graduates

Someone I have known for a long time challenged me to define Justification since I criticized OJ so much.

I wrote him, "We are forgiven our sins if we believe in the One Who Raised Him from the dead."

He jumped all over me as a heretic, so I explained patiently that I was paraphrasing what Paul wrote in Romans 4:24-25. Remember the OJists are fanatical about Romans 4:25, going back to their precious Brief Statement and Halle U - but only as long as Romans 4:24 is blacked out of their consciousness.

So I asked him for his definition. Note the strange addition - "We are forgiven if we believe in the One who already forgave us, Who raised Him from the dead."

The Ft. Wayne M.Div. had to insert the Justification of the World phrasing which is the heart of OJ and its only message. Faith is not only excluded but treated as toxic. OJ is God's declaration of Universal Forgiveness, thus they amalgamate the Atonement with forgiveness through faith in Christ.

The CFW wagon is a rusty old carriage with the wheels falling off. Some cling to it because denying CFW means abandoning their peculiar claims to glory. How could Holy Mother Missouri, Holy Mother WELS, Holy Mother ELS, and Holy Mother CLC (sic) be wrong? Not just wrong, but damnably wrong as Paul stated in Galatians 1:8 - No Other Gospel!

If not by faith, then by works, and these sects teach salvation by works just as ferociously as their supposed enemy, ELCA.

Lutheran Books To Read - Reposted from 2016

 Every serious, faithful Lutheran should start with Luther's sermons
and the Book of Concord.

Looking for Lutheran New Testament commentaries? Here is a complete set online, free, by the great Henry Eyster Jacobs.

Henry Eyster Jacobs helped translate this volume,
and WELS pastors always bought it in the past.
The volume has great Justification by Faith posts from the
Age of Orthodoxy.
Print copies, new reprints, and old prints,
are all over Lutherdom.

Heinrich Schmid was instantly condemned by the Booze Brothers in Fox Valley, WELS, so he must be good.

This is a compilation of quotations on various doctrinal topics - in English. Not only was Schmid condemned as a "false teacher," but I was pilloried for listing this link to a free, online copy of Schmid. Oh, the horror! That is how dummified the WELS graduates are today. When I was in Gawa's dogmatics class, we read through many of these quotations in class. Recently, the Mordor class notes stamped JBFA quotations for dogmatics class as MISLEADING!

 Tyndale and Shakespeare (Oxford) established the English language. The Tyndale translation was the basis for the
King James Version. The KJV is literature.

One of the most viewed paged on Ichabod is this extensive list of Lutheran resources, including Luther, Melanchthon, and many other authors of interest to faithful Lutherans.

DropBox links to all my books - free. To the complete set of Lenski's commentary - free. To Luther's Sermons individually and merged into one PDF file, with the Gems.

The Sermon –    I Baptize with Water, But...

Mark 1

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

 Norma A. Boeckler

Beginning of the Gospel

Mark's Gospel is not given as much attention because so much of it is found in Matthew and Luke. To quote Lenski on the general subject, There are many ingenious explanations but none are convincing.

This is deliberately a summary and doubtless useful, because the four Gospels are based on apostolic preaching. The eyewitnesses gave us the Gospels, and Mark is associated with Peter. 

This Gospel starts with Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God. The beginning of Jesus' ministry is John the Baptist. When predictions are made and they begin to come true, that alerts an entire country, an entire region. People longed for the Savior promised in the Old Testament. Doubtless this was also a desire of many religions because their own pagan ideas were sterile and hopeless. 

We know people gravitated toward Judaism because they could read the Old Testament in the universal language of the era (thank you, Alexander the Great). Imagine the Old Testament only in Hebrew and the New Testament only in Greek. How many would read both testaments today, with all our technology? Very few.

Therefore, those who read the prophesies of Isaiah knew the forerunner was coming to announce the Messiah. When this happened with John the Baptist, everyone was alerted  and filled with hope. But the rulers were alarmed.

The importance of John can be seen in that he was put in prison and executed. Nothing proves the truth of God more than martyrdom. And this unleashed hope in the true Messiah, Jesus.

John's promise is very significant to remember. "I am baptizing you with water, but One is coming Who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

This signifies the preaching of God's Word by God's own Son. His teaching would be confirmed by its power, which people could feel, and also by the miracles He performed.

What do opponents say who want to reduce Jesus to an ordinary teacher? They claim His teaching is like any other rabbi, and they say His miracles were performed by other rabbis. They must mean the other rabbis did a little of that, but they are not known for turning water into wine, walking on water, feeding the multitudes, and raising the dead. 

Since Jesus' teaching rested on faith in Him, His teaching was also far above what anyone else taught at the time.

This should always alert us, when people make comparisons that leave out major facts. Or they cite scholars against the Bible. Of course, every item in the Bible has been debated and criticized, so "scholars are divided" is perfectly true, though meaningless.

Jesus baptized with the Holy Spirit through the Word - truly the Word of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Its power on people's souls confirmed this, and the miracles seconded that confirmation. 

This is the major difference with Jesus. He is not one more teacher of religion but the source of spiritual wisdom, forgiveness, and eternal life.

That means, no matter what we have experienced in life, or heard from various authorities, we have the freedom to hear from Jesus Himself and His apostles about the Truth. All we need is a good translation of the Bible and some reliable, faithful books.

I chuckled as I read Lenski's introductory material about the Gospel of Mark, because so many blabbermouths have written books since then, all full of fancy statements but little or no faith. Mark is not a museum object, but a priceless witness to the world.

If I want to show people the most important basics of Christianity, I give them John's Gospel. If I want to give them a summary of the four Gospels, I can give them Mark. (We will do a commentary later, God willing.)

What do people need to know? We need constant refreshment about Jesus as our Savior, the things He did, the grace He gives us through the Gospel.

There is no reason to despair, because all sins are forgiven through faith in Christ. We can picture how people flocked to Him. They were nobodies, poor, lame, sick, dying, often shunned. They were "open sinners," in other words - so obvious that there was no dispute. They were not like those who could hide their sins, the damaging sins of the heart - greed, coveting, pride, and hatred.  So the secret sinners were outraged that Jesus welcomed the open sinners and ate with them. That was really the last straw.

But Jesus knew the hardened hearts of the secret sinners and condemned them. 

It is always good to know that Jesus condemned lack of faith, and freely offered grace to those who repented and believed.

Second Greek Lesson - After the Midweek Service at 7 PM Central Daylight Time - Mark 1:1-8

Helps -

Parser - tells us the I.D. of the word

Lenski's Commentary - download as a PDF

Copy and paste a Greek word into Google, add "Strong" and "Thayer" - you will get an instant word study about that Greek word. This is modestly called "The Ichabod Greek Treasure Hunt."

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ 1 1550 Stephanus New Testament (TR1550)

1 αρχη του ευαγγελιου ιησου χριστου, υιου του θεου

2 ως γεγραπται εν τοις προφηταις ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου

3 φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω ετοιμασατε την οδον κυριου ευθειας ποιειτε τας τριβους αυτου

4 εγενετο ιωαννης βαπτιζων εν τη ερημω και κηρυσσων βαπτισμα μετανοιας εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων

A. Start by learning the alphabet and reading the text out loud. We will read it out loud in class too.

B. Look for words you know or words based on the Greek. Mark 1:1 - I see archaeology - the beginning of history; Good News, also good and angel; Jesus Christ; theology.

Basic translating means - Translate the words you know and guess the rest. In simple passages we already know the other words - or at least we think we do. This approach gives us a sense for the Greek rather than that slow style of 

1. What does this word mean?
2. How do I parse it?
3. What is the grammar rule?

The slow style means that a few learn Greek or Latin or German in spite of the teacher. The fast style or immersion is used for quick, effective ability in the new language. We don't have the luxury of total immersion, but we can repeat how we first learned our language.

Children learn language by hearing it and learning what it means in its context. "No" to a small child means "Let's start debating."

PS - "DO NOT PANIC - Written in Large, Friendly Letters." That is the beginning of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, a great satire novel.

The article (the) tells us the case and number of the word it is with, making Greek especially easy.

5 και εξεπορευετο προς αυτον πασα η ιουδαια χωρα και οι ιεροσολυμιται και εβαπτιζοντο παντες εν τω ιορδανη ποταμω υπ αυτου εξομολογουμενοι τας αμαρτιας αυτων

6 ην δε ιωαννης ενδεδυμενος τριχας καμηλου και ζωνην δερματινην περι την οσφυν αυτου και εσθιων ακριδας και μελι αγριον

7 και εκηρυσσεν λεγων ερχεται ο ισχυροτερος μου οπισω μου ου ουκ ειμι ικανος κυψας λυσαι τον ιμαντα των υποδηματων αυτου

8 εγω μεν εβαπτισα υμας εν υδατι αυτος δε βαπτισει υμας εν πνευματι αγιω

To be is irregular in all languages - is, was, be, etc.

 The subject is often in the verb ending.

Unearthing Popular Ichabod Posts - Pure Data

 Go here for the Ichabod posts since 2015 with the most views.

The summaries provided by Blogger are rather unbalanced. I have noticed that really shocking reports gain thousands of views but do not show up very well on Google or on the summaries.

Yes, software exists to move posts and photos off the priority list when searching.

So I began plodding through my own menu to find posts with more than 1,000 views. Quite a few have 300, 500, 800 views. The topics vary, as you will see.

This is just the first list. I went as far as I could and decided to stop. I suppose this will end up with a navigation page for the navigation page.

 We reach around the world. Here are Rev. Dr. Lito Cruz and his wife Lynne. You can see what they were reading before the photo shoot.

George Gerberding Quotation

 George Gerberding

This is from the wise and comforting "Reflections of a Youthful Octogenarian" by Rev. George Gerberding.  He is speaking of one his favorite professors at the Philadelphia Seminary, Rev. William J. Mann:

 

'In one of his classes in Ethics I once asked, in substance, this question: "Doctor, if the Lutheran Church is so much better than others, how does it come that we find so many superior Christians in the Reformed Churches around us?" As always, the doctor was ready with his answer: "That's easy, my good friend; you might live on the juiciest beefsteak and be a lean dyspeptic. Your neighbor might have nothing but soup-bone and thin soup, and he might be healthier than you. Does that prove that thin soup is better than beefsteak? Ach, no. But he assimilates his soup bone soup better than you do your beefsteak. That's all!"'

Terminology Matters Because Words Convey Meaning - And Culture

 The author was a teacher of math and logic.

The Word of God judges all books, so no book or human author judges the Scriptures.

This is the problem with the modern Pietists. They pick their guru, as the Walther circle did Martin Stephan, and assume the guru is always correct.

That authoritarian and Enthusiastic spirit remains strong with the LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic).

I wonder why the Objective Justification wolves have not examined the words they use.

To redeem means (two different words in Greek) - to pay with a price, based on the word for marketplace. The other verb means to release, such as releasing from slavery. Both refer to Jesus as paying the price for our sins with His blood, for Jesus releasing us from the power of sin, death, and Satan.

The word atonement means "one for another," used in secular fashion as four quarters equal to a dollar. The same word is translated as atonement and reconciliation.

Ransom is a ransom for many, not all. The OJists want to rewrite Greek and change the words, but they cannot get away with it honestly, as if to claim the most flexible and precise language means "all" rather than "some" (since some blows up their dogma) and that "all" can appear like a leprechaun when needed (New NIV).

The word for saved is also used for healed. Exactly where - apart from the fulminations of Jon-Boy Buchholz are all saved and all forgiven?

Some would follow the style of Halle Pietism and say the world was justified when Jesus rose from the dead (Rambach, Walther, Oh Jay Webber).

Others - like Hale - groove on 2 Corinthians, that He became sin that we might have His righteousness. So Hale leads us into his swamp of universal forgiveness and salvation without faith.

But it does not matter if the Great Walther imagined this to be true and taught it all his life. Poor Hale was given an M.Div. in guru-worship at Ft. Wayne, and skipped the part about the Scriptures as the ruling norm and the Confessions as the ruled norm. His master and guide is Walther, who was a Pietist with a B.A. and little grasp of the Biblical languages. Others in the OJ pantheon are followers from the Midwest, men who bowed the knee to Walther.

The real founder and leader of the Perryville Sex Cult was Martin Stephan, who studied at Halle University but never graduated from anywhere. He did not have the minimal requirement for becoming a pastor, but his status as a Bohemian Pietist (see Count von Zinzendorf) allowed the Pietist Bohemian Pietist congregation (land donated by Zinzendorf) to call him.

Stephan taught Objective Justification, whose language comes from Halle Pietism, not from the Bible. There is no OJ in the Bible, and SJ does not equal Justification by Faith (as Dave Scaer claims in his overpriced autobiography).

 A Calvinist leader used OJ to define a Pietist Halle professor's deep thoughts, and one ELS pastor got all huffy with me about this graphic being misleading. Verbatim quote, exact source. Before getting irritated, I would get the book, check the source, and worry about my sect colluding with Calvinists and Pietists. 

Track Objective Justification - A Favorite Dogma for Various Denominations, Cults, and the Mainline Apostates

Readers, anons, OJists, minders, innocent bystanders - please check out  Objective Justification with search engines, concordances, doctrinal books.

The concept is used by Calvinists, and Walther's deliberate polarizing of the Lutherans with his Election-without-Faith is exactly what Calvin taught about predestination. John Sparky Brenner, OJ fanboy, confirms that Walther's Election dogma was his backup for his OJ. CFW deliberately went against Article XI of the Formula of Concord, but he decided to fling his Powerful Objective Observation (POO for short) at everyone. He emerged as the only leader of the ones who still followed him, a very bad precedent for the future.

As I have written before, more than once, Objective Justification is also used by the Jehovah's Witnesses to teach the same nonsense. These links are very hard to find, whether Ichabod or about the JWs. I suspect paid Internet scrubbing of the issue, either from JWs, SynCons, or both.

If that is not enough, UOJ is the penultimate expression of the mainline apostates like ELCA, UCC, Presbyterians, liberal Baptists. Penultimate means almost ultimate, just before the end -in this case. Once they reach the UOJ stage, the final one simply declares that all these religious labels and categories are useless. God-talk is irrelevant - express yourself and make up your own Christology to build a foundation for being a Social Justice Warrior.
Exposing ELCA gives a lot of unsavory details, but many of them are at your doorstep.
