ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
From the movie, starring Gregory Peck, with Orson Welles as the preacher.
What could be more full of meaning? - for the pulpit is ever this earth’s foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God’s quick wrath is first descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds. Yes, the world’s a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow.
Herman Melville, Moby Dick, Chapter 8
Herman Melville was right in his great novel, Moby Dick - the pulpit leads the world. People are howling about all the new trends forced by various government agencies and other entities. The denominations were there a long time before.
The WELS Tiefel hymnal featured feminist Creeds from one of those ecumenical groups. That was over 30 years ago. "And became man" was deemed a trigger keeping sensitive people from church. WELS accepted and defended "fully human," which is now going to be "truly human."
Once again, dunces were given the power to change long accepted language with the promise that would bring more people in. Marching together - cloven hoof in cloven hoof - down the road to perdition, the Wisconsin sect mocked the KJV for years and switched to the NIV. They expected market-driven forces would make them less antique. Once the NIV was established, they let the hotheads (only one DP) aim their volleys at the New NIV (2011 A.D.) instead of their Fuller trained leaders.
What America is seeing now is the result of all that work from years ago, because the pulpit leads the way.
I went to the Wesleyan university library and found a feminist Bible from the early 1900s. It took a century to take over the denomination.
The quiet revolution in the Missouri Synod and WELS involved adopting liberal Calvinism and excluding Luther's Biblical doctrine. The lupine leaders can catch the scent of Luther from miles away. They believe, but their hides bristle. (James 2:19)
While concealing the truth, the LCMS-WELS adopted Walther's Calvinism. Now they are very much like the United Church of Christ in attitude and attendance.
"Whee! Fuller Seminary has a new BOGO program." The swinish synod leaders did not know the acronym's actual meaning - Butcher One, Get One.
I have been wondering, "How did the all the Lutheran synods and abusive sects become so much like ELCA?"
WELS is a good example, because I had members who told me. WELS boasted about using the KJV when the future ELCA synods - and Missouri - went going over to the modern snip and clip Scriptures.
I know that WELS once taught Justification by Faith. One recent example is the former Michigan District VP Paul Kuske in trouble for complaining about the Mordor graduates leaving school with Objective Justification. I have other sources too.
Gausewitz (Justification by Faith) was used until the Kuske Objective Justification Catechism came out. There are septuagenarians who remember being taught the Chief Article from the Gausewitz.
As I explained to various people, it only takes a few generations of new guys graduating from the seminary to replace the old guys retiring or leaving the synod. That is why they did not want the ministerium to vote on the latest and gratingnest NIV. Their last review was only aimed at recent graduates, all trained in the glory of the NIV, which really was better the even worse trash to follow.
The old NIV has disappeared from printing, denominational religious materials (which should not be called Christian at all), the NIV's own website, and the hymnals. Yes, the ESV is 1% better than the NIV, but that is the difference between spoiled milk and milk crawling with maggots.
On the Missouri side, Walther did everything possible to promote OJ, even rigging an election (WELS take note - oh, you do that too?) to get F. Pieper as Professor of Walther Dogma.
Andrea proves that the secret to health and happiness comes from God's own Creation.
Andrea's parents wrote to say they would like more nutrition articles. I was just thinking about some general truths not realized before.
This all made sense, because God created these intricate relationships from the beginning. We have let the ad agencies blind us to real value in food.
I am not a vegetarian and I dislike all the fad diets that make money for a few while making matters worse for the desperate. Dr. Joel Fuhrman has developed reasons for changing from our grease-salt-sugar favorites to a preponderance of plant-based foods.
Plants are loaded with nutrition and yet are very low in calories. Thus someone can eat two huge bowls of spinach with a tiny bit of dressing and feel satisfied, happy, and unbloated. Spinach or other leafy greens provide a lot of fiber, but almost no calories.
Vitamin A. Spinach is high in carotenoids, which your body can turn into vitamin A.
Vitamin C. This vitamin is a powerful antioxidant that promotes skin health and immune function.
Vitamin K1. This vitamin is essential for blood clotting. Notably, one spinach leaf contains over half of your daily needs.
Folic acid. Also known as folate or vitamin B9, this compound is vital for pregnant women and essential for normal cellular function and tissue growth.
Iron. Spinach is an excellent source of this essential mineral. Iron helps create hemoglobin, which brings oxygen to your body’s tissues.
Calcium. This mineral is essential for bone health and a crucial signaling molecule for your nervous system, heart, and muscles.
Spinach also contains several other vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B6, B9, and E.
There are two kinds of fiber, soluble and insoluble. They contribute to digestion but not much toward calories.
Fats, oils, and grease (including the "healthy" ones) add a ton of calories and very little nutrition.
Fatty foods to decrease in regular eating are:
Meats, especially processed salty meats;
Milk, cheese, cream, whipped cream;
Dessert forms - donuts, fried in grease desserts, candies using sugar and oil.
Part of the Bakery and Confection Alliance plan was to create dessert addicts as young as possible. "Sweetie-pie. Want a cake for your first birthday? Yes, the whole cake!"
Healthy desserts can be:
Four portions of fruit per day;
At least one handful of nuts each day, though we can easily overeat them (good oil but go easy - ditto salt);
A delightful food that provides satisfaction, great flavors and taste, good nutrition. I like vegetable sampler warmed up on the stove.
Vegetable Sampler Soup -
Enjoy the Lumps -
I have a different combo each day. Basics in blue:
Chickpeas and flavored beans
Almonds or walnuts
Flax seed milled
Mushrooms frozen or canned
Asparagus, frozen or canned
Green pepper/onions frozen
Peas frozen
Tomato paste in a tube
Stir fry combo frozen
Baby broccoli frozen
Brussels Sprouts frozen
Many of the larger bites, like broccoli and stir fry, satisfy the need to chew food.
If the reader looks up the "nutritional benefits of..." (various plant foods) on Google, it will show that this group will provide an abundance of vitamins, fiber, plant nutrients, etc. If we are short on vital nutrients, a good eating habit will heal certain maladies. Blood sugar and blood pressure go up with overweight, go down with weight loss.
Meat and milk products are high in protein and fat, but little else. Many meat products are over-salted, adding to blood pressure problems.
Because fats and sugars go instantly at work or pile up in the body (think blubber and high blood sugar), we feel a brief high for a time. They promote even more eating of the same and are often easily obtained, quick to consume.
Forced into bakery work at an early age, this young lad had to promote the glazed donuts without any compensation.
“Formerly the whole Evangelical Lutheran Church was unanimous in the conviction that Luther was the divinely commissioned Reformer of the Church and the herald of divine truth. But now (many) deny him this honor. They maintain, of course without the least proof, that he erred in various articles of faith, and do not hesitate to dispute his vocation as a Reformer. How easily, under such circumstances, may not even faithful Lutherans be led to waver in their faith, especially when great scholars and distinguished theologians utter such censures. To defend ourselves successfully against these false accusations we have no better means than that of a more intimate acquaintance with his writings and his life.
“We hope, therefore, to meet a general want of our Church in this small volume. May God graciously own it as a means to lead us the more joyfully to thank Him for what we possess in Luther. When we contemplate his history, the wonderful ways in which he was led, and the glorious success of his work, we see most clearly that he was called by God himself to be the deliverer and restorer of His Church, and that as such he was divinely authenticated and sealed. When we examine his doctrine we find that it harmonizes perfectly with the Holy Scriptures, so that he preached nothing but the pure word of God. – Hermann Fick

Publication Information
Lutheran Library edition first published: 2019-08-08
We are now at the Captain Renault stage of Christendom, as many recall the famous scene in Casablanca.
The captain has been forced to raid and close down the casino run by Rick (Humphrey Bogart). When someone demands to know why, the captain says,
“I'm shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here." In seconds, a staff-member hands him a wad of money, "Your share." And Renault, unshocked, says "Thank you!"
Every bishop, District President, and circuit rider is trained to say those words, whenever the need arises.
His Eminence Jim Heiser was equally stunned, as he dissembled about Objective Justification, 13 years after reading Thy Strong Word and realizing - as he said to me in 2000 - "I did not know how bad OJ was!" WELS Pastor Paul Rydecki's defenestration from WELS left Heiser shocked, shocked! on a video tape that there was OJ going on in WELS.
Likewise, WELS was shocked, shocked to find Martin Luther College men cross-dressing and cavorting to a plagiarized song.
Matt the Fatt is shocked, shocked about everything criticized in the LCMS, even though he has been a fellow traveler in those circles for decades.
A future ELS seminary president said, after reading a bundle of material from WELS, several decades ago, "If half of this is true, we are in real trouble." I said, "All of it is."
Laszlo steals the movie by leading the patriots in the French national song, defeating the German attempt to win by singing loudly.
I thought about using or only linking the latest from Nadia Bolts-Tattoos, but it was so foul-mouthed that linking it was an act of profanity, so I did not.
"As Priestess Witch for herchurch, Christine offers magical gifts to share and enhance the support and development of herchurch. The monthly astrological reading provides guidance from the stars and is a favorite among many. Together we honor the natural cycles of the year, the Solstices and Equinoxes, and thank the Earth for her bounty. Small group gatherings provide inspiration and direct our attention to instinct and intuition helping us to discover ways to connect to the divinity of nature and thereby the Divine."
Exposing the ELCA has highlighted Ebenezer Lutheran Church/“her church” in San Francisco in the past (read here on page 6 and here). This ELCA church is famous for goddess worship, praying the goddess rosary, praying to “Sophia” and “Mother,” as well as the use of female pronouns for the god they worship. The ELCA has taken no action to stop these practices/beliefs. We could only conclude that goddess worship is an acceptable practice in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Now we have an actual statement from ELCA leadership about the teachings of this San Francisco Lutheran Church. Bishop Michael Burk of ELCA Southeastern Iowa Synod spoke with Ebenezer Lutheran Church’s Bishop from the Sierra Pacific Synod (in August 2010). Bishop Burk had questions about reports he had heard of non-orthodox practices happening at the church. Here is his account of that conversation,
“After visiting with the bishop and with another synod staff member who knows the congregation and the pastor well, there is an acknowledgement that this congregation ‘pushes around the edges’ on matters that make some of us uncomfortable. Things like what they refer to this ‘rosary’ are seen by many to be outside the bounds, but don't rise to level of anything in the disciplinary arena. Speaking explicitly about the pastor and regular worship experience there, when folks have ‘dropped in unannounced’ they have experienced preaching that is decidedly within Lutheran orthodoxy and worship that is familiar and done with integrity. It was said that this small congregation is serving the local community very well, especially when it comes to reaching out to the local community.” (read here, go to comment 6)
We have now learned that Ebenezer Lutheran Church is offering women an interesting “spiritual retreat.” The church website says,
“Celebrate ‘She Who Is’
Encounter the Divine Feminine
with body, mind and spirit”
At this spiritual retreat you will experience -
“Sacred Re-imaging, rituals and work(play)shops, sacred sounds, altar building, meditation with the Cosmic Mother, Christian Feminist stories, beach walks, free time and relaxing with beauty that is around, among and within!”
The experience will include presentations on -
“God/dess Around Us
Language of the Goddess – Pr. Boorn (ELCA pastor)
God/dess Within Us
Connecting with God/dess – J. Dancer
God/dess Beyond Us
Spirit Shrines – Linda Roberts”
The Retreat gets even more interesting unfortunately. Ebenezer Lutheran Church’s website tells an attendee’s retreat experience where we read,
“Pastor Stacy reminded us of some of the discounted feminine images of God in the Old Testament—probably none of which were the products of female imaginations—and invited us to form our own images in clay of Asherah, the mother goddess of the Canaanites familiar to early Jewish inhabitants of Canaan. I am no artist. Warming and working the clay with my hands, I wondered whether my goddess would look anything like the photograph of an Asherah figure Stacy provided as a possible starting point . . .”
“The next project, led by Kathryn Wagner, was to make a mandala, a circular, meditative image of the self . . .”
“On the shore of Monterey Bay, on Saturday night and Sunday morning, all ten of us prayed the Goddess rosary [some beaded their own Goddess Rosary that afternoon] beside a cross erected of driftwood and draped with seaweed. Stacy called us to remember the sea as the primal water from which life emerged, to think of it as the amniotic fluid of our mother's wombs . . .” (Read here) http://www.herchurch.org/id10.html
One could write five articles on the non-orthodox, troubling, and heretical statements written about this "spiritual retreat." But we will just focus on "Asherah."
The image of Asherah, that ELCA pastor Stacy Boorn had the women on the retreat make, is a false god. As was mentioned above, Asherah is "the mother goddess of the Canaanites" that God continually told the Israelites to stay away from. Scripture speaks of Asherah and Asherah poles extensively and none of it is positive. Here is one verse (see more verses at end of this article) -
Deuteronomy 12:3 - Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places.
I would be interested in hearing from ELCA headquarters and the synod bishops as to whether this new documented information of "herchurch" making idols of a false god (one the Bible specifically mentions and which is forbidden in scripture) is still considered acceptable practices for ELCA members. As you can read in the Bible verses below, it is not acceptable to God.
If making idols and the worship of false gods does not warrant expulsion, I don’t know what does. ELCA inaction here = acceptance/approval.
---------
More of what God’s Word says about Asherah/Asherah poles -
Judges 3:7 - The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
1 Kings 14:15 - And the LORD will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they aroused the LORD’s anger by making Asherah poles.
1 Kings 16:33 - Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.
2 Kings 17:16 - They forsook all the commands of the LORD their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves, and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts, and they worshiped Baal.
Deuteronomy 7:5 - This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire.

GJ - Notice that DP Doug Englebrecht sent the District VP to investigate The CORE and found exactly the same Lutheran orthodoxy! Twas practically Adolph Hoenecke come to life again.
Readers - HerChurch is a picture of WELS in the future.
No one thought HerChurch could happen when I published about this topic in 1987. Now the same people who ignored the warnings are shocked that it did happen - with their synod's blessing. My classmate from Yale, with a PhD in NT studies, blessed it as well. Now he is an ELCA seminary president.
The problem is with corrupt officials who seem to be spineless shiver-sisters, until someone dares to question the conduct of their office. Then, as Luther wrote, they are ready to tear up trees with their bare hands.
Or as Proverbs says, it is easier to rob a she-bear of her cubs than to encounter a fool in his folly. Prov. 17:12.
Nadia allegedly had Covid. She may have visited HerChurch, but she started her own wackadoodle congregation and later was called by ELCA to do more of the same "as a witness."
There is nothing quite so alarming or charming as a morning visit to the ALPB Online Diss 'n Cussing Board.
Today's threads included the number of members in each synod, plus their number of congregations. Every since 1970, all of them have decreased by gigantic amounts.
ELCA gets all its failures in one lump, because the LCA, ALC, and Seminex groups merged in 1987. They went from 5.3 baptized members to 1/3 fewer members.
Missouri since 1970 has lost a similar number.
The ELS has already published its epitaph. They will be only a footnote in history books in one generation. I wonder why Justification without Faith, their cause for leaving the Big Norwegians, never caught on. Now they can join their fragments with ELCA, which is also a fan of Universalism.
WELS' two sacraments, the stink-eye and the shun, have worked well in purifying the ranks so the leaders all come from a few DNA matches. Marrying a Name (as they call it in WELS) is like wedding the boss' daughter, a sure prediction of future promotions and alcoholism. This is discussed in excited tones: "He married a Hagedorn! Do you know who they are? A Hagedorn helped start the synod!"
I am amused, drinking pour-over coffee, that so many clergy at ALPB can write so much without addressing the basics of Biblical, Lutheran doctrine. They are all sociologists who enjoy going over the potential reason why their synods - and ALPB - have been sinking in numbers, closing schools, and still flogging the cause and effect from their Fuller Seminary educations.
The Church of Rome also talks about grace, and like their Lutheran counterparts, silences the concept of faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
If we have access to God's grace only through faith in Jesus the Savior, as Paul teaches in Romans 5:2, there is no grace at all in the leadership of the synods, whether they are Roman or nominal Lutheran.
KJV Romans 5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

knowledge of Luther’s works and faithful translations; i.e., the KJV is the
English (Tyndale) version of Luther’s German Bible. They established their
modern languages in England and Germany by virtue of the power of their work. Nobody
ever admits this about the KJV, that it comes from Luther via Tyndale who died
for translating the Scriptures from Hebrew and Greek into English.
The KJV book has arrived, and so has the camera.

I AM the Door
John 10 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep
hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep
follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but
will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable
spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he
spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and
robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
So many love the next I AM sermon,
about the Good Shepherd, that it is relatively easy to overlook this one. This
is quite powerful, but offends the wealthy, lazy, global elite who want one
world, one “faith”, one ruler. This I AM the Door is repulsive to the ecumenical
movement, which was the beginning of the National (Federal) Council of Churches
and the World Council of Churches (left-wing) which absorbed and digested the more
conservative World Missionary Council, so the latter no longer exists.
John 10 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep.
This comparison is based upon the
common knowledge of raising sheep at that time, which also connects to the
Passover Lamb from the Exodus. We have very little of this in our culture now,
but it was a major part of Biblical Judaism. Sheep from various flocks or one
flock were kept in pens for safety. They were a valuable commodity (part of
Australia’s “Waltzing Matilda” national song) and objects of predators, human
and lupine.
We think of modern doors, but this
door was an opening in the pen guarded by the so that only the shepherd could
enter. This is the foundation for the shepherd section that follows. The one
who climbs over the fence is clearly a thief, a robber. The shepherd comes in
the one door.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the
sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
The typical shepherd, which they all
knew about, was recognized by the guard at the door or opening and allowed in.
The sheep all know the voice of their shepherd. He goes out before them and
leads them, very much like Psalm 23. This chapter is central to the entire
Bible, which is recognized today in stained glass windows and art.
When I have to go to an appointment,
Sassy stays home and is quiet, but when I arrive, she barks sharply from the
inside and comes to the door to complete her guard duties for the moment. Sassy
is very willful on our walks, but she follows me and responds to my voice,
especially when I get firm. She asks permission to meet people and to go a
different way (sometimes tricking me into another route as she pivots and grins).
As everyone knows, pastor is Latin for
shepherd, and it is a good title since all ordained ministers are men who are
subordinate to the Good Shepherd. Just as sheep follow the voice and the walk
of the shepherd, so believers follow only the voice of the
Good Shepherd.
5 And a stranger will they not follow,
but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
This verse is especially important,
because there is a direct relationship between the true believers and the true
pastor. When the leader is false, the believers flee instead of compromising.
They know the voice of the Shepherd and run from strangers. We see this carried
out in reverse where Joel Osteen refused, years ago, to say that Jesus is the
only way of salvation (hint – Gospel of John and everywhere else). He admitted
he was an evil shepherd, with no consequences. Likewise, Rev. Andy Stanley (a favorite
in the Wisconsin Synod – Ski, Glende, Parlow and 5 more of them going to one
expensive conference and worshiping with Stanley – so cool.) Stanley denounced
the “Jesus of ancient documents” in favor of his “Jesus for today.”
“The Christian faith doesn’t rise and fall on the accuracy of 66 ancient documents. It rises and falls on the identity of a single individual: Jesus of Nazareth.”Andy Stanley, WELS mentor and hero. Christian Post, https://www.christianpost.com/voices/andy-stanleys-tweet-about-the-bible-is-seductive-and-harmful.html
This is the argument
used by false prophets, who make it possible to invent a new Messiah according
to their wishes. It is certainly a pity that people flock – or rather bleet –
rushing to such heretics. But it was predicted in letters to Timothy, that
people will pile up false teachers to teach what their itching ears want to
hear.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them:
but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then
said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of
the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall
be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not,
but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Although they did not understand this
parable at first, it was remembered via the Holy
Spirit to be recorded in the Fourth Gospel, passed down to us through the
Majority or Traditional/Byzantine Text. Jesus is the One Entrance to salvation, which
we see vividly described in Romans 5:2 – faith in Christ is access to God’s
grace. Thereis one way – faith – not access
to universal grace without even knowing there is a door (WELS-LCMS-ELCA position).
Jesus is the door of salvation, the
only way to enter. So strange that people try to teach otherwise, but do not
listen to His voice. This shows how resisting the truth makes us unable to see
and hear the truth, no matter how smart we appear to be. The great and wise of
today do not know how to view Jesus as a child does. No, they are sophisticated
and highly education experts.
Jesus came that we might have life in
abundance, the lead to I AM the Good Shepherd.
