Why Are Lutherans Failing as Fast as Fuller Seminary? A Shorter Version on Apostasy

 Olson denied going to Fuller Seminary, as did Valleskey and Bivens. WELS GA hazing teaches seminarians how to lie and bully others as pastors.

 Only Olson could wear a church stole with a Geneva gown, sporting doctoral stripes he never earned. A DMin is an STM, not an academic doctorate.

This passage came up in a graphic by Norma A. Boeckler, and this explains the apostasy problem in a few verses. Because Fuller Seminary and Trinity Divinity and Willow Crick did not teach faith but success, they have created a generation of no-good-niks who should be selling bitcoin or miracle wart removal lotions.

KJV 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Lenski, Hebrews, Chapter IV.

The Attractive Promise: 

Those Who Believe Enter into God’s Rest, 

Chapter 4, The Rest Promised to Faith, 1-5. 

The passage quoted from the psalm (3:7-11) is full of threatening and thus serves as a warning; but in this very threat there lies the most blessed promise, which the writer uses with equal effect to make his readers firm and to stop their wavering. He thus uses both law and gospel in the true, evangelical way and becomes a model that we may well follow.

From Lenski's Hebrews, p. 128.

“But” the sad and tragic thing was that “the Word of the hearing (qualitative genitive: the Word they heard) did not profit them, not having mixed itself by faith with those who heard.” They had it but did not believe it. “It did not profit” is the historical aorist and summarizes 3 :7-19. The point stressed is the hearing: “the Word of the hearing,” “they who heard," reverting to the psalm (3:8) : “if you should hear his voice.” We should note that “promise” and “telling good tidings" (v. 1, 2) certainly involve the thought that both be heard. But not only heard: the voice of his Word heard, the promise and good tidings heard, must also be believed. Therein the Jews of the Exodus failed so tragically: they heard the promise of God’s rest, all that the glad tidings about this rest contained, but they hardened their hearts (3:8, etc.), they refused to believe and thus lost both the earthly and the heavenly Canaan.

1977! - and no apologies after 45 years of unfaith blundering?!
