| Read this from the back of the Otten book - and marvel at the hypocrisy of Otten-Hale, Inc. |
From time to time someone asks me about doctrine related to salvation.
KJV 1 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [apostasy] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC have violated - for decades - the two basic principles written by Walter Maier and quoted by Herman Otten:
- The inerrancy of the Scriptures - look closely at that money-maker the Beck Bible, sold by Otten-Hale, even though it kisses up to Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. So do all the other modern Bibles, including the precious New KJV. Test: do the modern paraphrases refer the reader to the missing verses all found in the KJV but deleted by them? Ha!
- Justification by Faith - is a concept that drives Hale and the rest of the gang peyote-weed wild with anger.
Since someone asked, I would call these principles basic to salvation. If there is no clear Biblical revelation, but one that must be massaged and changed every few months, then God has not preserved His Word as He promised. Thus we see that all the current Lutheran leaders are apostates

Karl Barth (b. 1886) was really a child of the 19th century, when every smart theologian was thrilled with evolution and trying to find a way around the clarity of the Scriptures. Barth - a Calvinist/Marxist, - and his live-in Marxist mistress - developed ways to wrap Biblical phrases around their radical agenda. They had to make dogma appealing, so they combined Calvinist rationalism with their favorite philosophy.
Most will not accept this, but the world's Christian leaders, whether bureaucrats or professors, are apostates grown from Barth's Great Leap Forward. The Creeds mean very little to the leaders, who have been stored and fermented in Jesus being a teacher who died on the cross and became a myth to His followers.
We are living in the Great Apostasy. Read KJV 2 Thessalonians 2 for the plot. This may last a few years or centuries but all the signs are there. Some will hear the Gospel and believe, but very little Gospel - only marketing and Marxism - comes from the predestined and predestinating clergy.
KJV 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [the pope]
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [church growth and Marxist activism]
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[look at how smug and superior they are]
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. [Note that the Steadfast Lutherans reject the Bible, Luther, and the Book of Concord, thus they are the Dead Last Lutherans]
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

| Never criticize a pimp, and Walther was surely the enabler of Bishop Stephan's many trysts with young ladies of his St. Louis and Perryville cult. Stephan had syphilis and spread it to the young ladies. That fact was used by Walther for the riot that stole Stephan's home, land, gold, books, and personal possessions. Read it all in Walther's Pastoral Theology! |
