Mrs. Ichabod and I watched the Paul McCain funeral live-streamed yesterday.
The Steadfast Lutheran Lobby wanted to claim McCain "brought the Book of Concord back to life for the laity." If so, he should have brought it back to life for the clergy, the professors, the CPs, the DPs, and Synod President Matt the Fat.

| Posturing is not the same as believing. His Holiness, who had the convention give him the power to kick out anyone talking about doctrine "apart from his or her appointed office," making him a regular pope. But there were predicted not only the Antichrist but also the little Antichrists. |
"Last but certainly not least, there was special joy to understand that we all hold to objective justification—that God declared the world righteous through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and that we all recognize it to be the urgent mission of the church to take this gospel to the entire world."

How can someone bring the Lutheran Confessions back to life while being part of the Objective Justification lobby that took over the LCMS and WELS? They repudiate the Chief Article of the Christian Faith and claim their cowardly Calvinism is the "Chief Article."
One layman, who knows Missouri and WELS, observed, "Seminex took over both synods."
I added, "And Fuller's Church Growth followed the wreckage to finish off the remains."
He said, "Yes."
The current issue of Christian News, aka Calvinist Blues, complains about the CPH John commentary. Does the editor not know that Concordia Publishing House is a warning label?
Recent CPH Debacles
Matt the Fat turned his awkward eulogy into a commercial for Concordia Publishing House, gushing that it was producing the greatest Lutheran "Confessional" books in the last ten years, more than any other era in history.
How about that Dogma-tanic, the gigantic scrapbook of articles from living and dead LCMS grandees - like Ralph Bohlmann? The Dogma-tanic features once again - Objective Justification from the fetid wombs of Pietism and Calvinism.
Or the Not-So Small Catechism, once again featuring Objective Justification - to mess up the minds of kids who thought they escaped the WELS Kuske catechism.
CPH's Gospel of Mark disowns the ending of Mark. They were deep into the Historical Critical Method long ago. Playing crack-the-whip with Mark is just one more indication of their lost condition.
Lower Criticism (against reliable manuscripts) paved the way for Higher Criticism (treating the Word of God as another book, a hopeless flawed and conflicted book - much like the critics).
