Don't Fail To Miss This New Book on Luther

 

 Conrad Braaten (RIP) seems to be the brother of Carl Braaten.


"Prickly, earthy, and contentious as he often was, the 'domestication' of Martin Luther by subsequent generations of pious Lutherans has been an odd kind of achievement. This book continues the re-discovery of 'the forgotten Luther,' and restores some of his fiery critique of false images and ideas of godliness and systems that oppressed ordinary people." — The Rev. R. Guy Erwin, Ph.D., president, United Lutheran Seminary


Rev. Dr. Guy Erwin, right, is the president of the soi-disant United Lutheran Seminary.

Very interesting post today: http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2021/09/dont-fail-to-miss-this-new-book-on.html

We can see in the blurb included how the Evangelical church generally is being pulled into the new morality of the a g e n d a twenty one plan.  For example even in this short excerpt:

- the Spirit ed book club - The new gnostic paganism only believes in emotional experience as the mark of worship. 

- reclaiming a vision - In the new order we follow the visions of the authoritarian leaders, mini-popes and mini-fascists.  Individual thought is a crime against god and the state and especially your neighbors.

- of global community - "We are all in this together" and "No one will be left behind" and "If you see something say something" and "build back better" are all part of the new morality.  It is a wholesale return to the days of the tower of Babel - no national loyalty, but a recreation of man above God, without need of the One True Creator.  Man himself is his own "savior" of the earth.

Horrible - but coated with such sweet sauce that the poison is not only not recognized, but in the general mind seen to be a good and moral thing.

Lord deliver us!
