| Martin Stephan was a Pietist who attended Halle University, gathered Pietists and the Walther Pietist circle to him, pursued young women, and gave them syphilis. He left Europe with his cult because he was convicted in court of various crimes. |
 |
| Walther organized the riot that stole Stephan's land, gold, books, and personal belongings, forcing the bishop over to Illinois at gunpoint. Walther took over the leadership as pastor, seminary leader, and publisher. The Walther cults - LCMS, WELS, ELS, CLC (sic) - are imbued with Pietism and Calvinism, and no one dare question the infallibility of CFW Walther, even though he supported the slave trade. |
Like Zwingli, CFW had very little training in the Biblical languages (only a B.A.) and a tremendous and undeserved ego. Walther's Objective Faithless Justification slowly became the standard dogma for his groupies, canonized in 1932 by the Brief Statement, F. Pieper's swan song.

More later - consider the facts when enrolling students in an abusive and anti-Biblical prep/college/seminary. Anyone who objects to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse is considered a loser and not fit for the barbaric school. As one CLC (sic) leader said to a group, "We used to line up the students and slap them in the face, one after another, until one of them confessed."
