Where Does LCMS Start And End? Holy Mother Synod!

 

From Rolf Preus, Co-Editor of His Father's Justification (by faith) And Rome

"It's not that Concordia doesn't owe some loyalty to the LCMS.  It's rather that the BOR statement spoke of the LCMS in terms that apply only to the one holy, Christian, and apostolic church.  She is the Jerusalem which is above who is our mother.  (Galatians 4:26)  We confess in the Large Catechism, on the Creed, third article (paragraph 42), "For, in the first place, He has a peculiar congregation in the world, which is the mother that begets and bears every Christian through the Word of God, which He reveals and preaches, and through which He illumines and enkindles hearts, that they understand, accept it, cling to it, and persevere in it."  We should not refer to a synod as our mother."

GJ - Rev. Dr. Matt the Fatt Harrison wants to hang onto Concordia University in  Texas, but I would dump that property as soon as possible. CTX! - get it? Missouri hates the Book of Concord, so every little or big synod entity has to be fasioned Concordite.

"We confess in the Large Catechism"

We can overlook the hundred or so Preus boys who have endured the continued inbreeding of Rambach-Stephan-Walther dogma in their synod. Everywhere they look or listen, one of the relatives is singing their favorite hymn (in Norwegian) "How Great We Art."

Rolf should know better, because he is listed as an editor of Justification and Rome. ELS loyaltists thought it was Just A Vacation in Rome. That shows how devoid of scholarship the Little Norwegians are.

Rolf Hisself continues to argue against the book he edited, more importantly - against the Book of Concord, which always teaches Justification by Faith in harmony with the Scriptures. 

The windbags of the deceased Synodical Conference (LCMS-ELS-WELS-Fuller) are blind to the Scriptures and enchanted by the Enthusiasts. They even have their own Fuller-lite training facility in WELS, some of the worst examples charging money for their own clergy to be more like them.

This relative of the Preus clan was a seminary professor for CFW Walther - his book still a classic in Objective Faithless Justification humor. Ed Preuss looked for a vision and saw a brilliant red sky, so he joined the Church of Rome and became a famous scholar for them. And yet The Four Waltherian Cults - LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) continue to honor Mr. Ed.
