Lutheran Seminaries Teach - Sadistic Mockery of the Scriptures and the Reformation

  

The Scriptures - Her Version

ELCA is the prime example, with their sadistic mockery of -

  • The Scriptures,  
  • The Luther-Melanchthon-Chemnitz Reformation. 

However, 99% of the rest are simply trying to catch up - LCMS, WELS, ELS, CLC (sic), ELDONA.

Christian News, Inc has grabbed a fortune through selling the Bogus Beck Bible, a massive deception for the few subscribers left. The goal of the 1881 Revision of the KJV was to eliminate faith in Jesus Christ by removing His divinity and the concept of faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Questioning or eliminating Mark 16:9-20 is the escape hatch for apostates, and Beck was eager to question the ending of Mark - no empty tomb, no resurrection. "Scholars are divided." The modern paraphrases (dubiously described as translations) follow the same distorted readings of the utterly fake Codex Vaticanus and the Pope's favorite Codex Vaticanus. One dirty hand washes the other, so the self-described text scholars use a few fake or heretical manuscripts to overshadow, erasing the 5,000 readings  comprising the Apostolic text, used by Luther and the KJV.

KJV Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

Lutheran managers have given themselves permission to ape as many errors of the heretics as possible, cursing anyone who would quote the majestic and precise King James Bible.

Seminary Failures - No Faith in the Savior

Synods teach themselves, except ELCA where they cannot figure out who their fathers are. The synod cry and look for their real fathers, which are either in Rome or Pasadena. 

The Synodical Conference managers (LCMS-WELS-ELS) strut about how great their forefathers were and endlessly drool over the sanctity of CFW Walther, BA. The joke is on their members, who listen to the stories of synod saintliness and their own DNA kin. But they ignore the fact that they began with Justification by Faith and ended with the dogma of Martin Stephan, STD

One can easily argue that LCMS and WELS had good, Justification by Faith catechisms, such as Schwan (not the ice cream Schwan) and Glausewitz. The ELS, if I recall right, wanted Objective Justification only - no matter, they are the canary in coal mine. The LCMS-WELS attempt at catechisms is profoundly obnoxious and deliberately toxic. 

No matter how papal they get, the gigantic leap of seminary tomfoolery is their rejection of faith in Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd, the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, miracle worker and Teacher, the Lord of Creation walking on water, crucified and risen from the dead, ascending to Heaven to guide the invisible Christian Church.

They laugh at the traditional KJV in favor of a zillion, ignorant transmutations.

They cannot mock the text of the Bible and claim the results are the true Word of God, preserved forever.

The seminaries are the bastard children of Fuller Seminary, Trinity Divinity, and furtive papal wannabees - eight of them schooled by the Jesuits (fast, easy cheap PhDs). No one admits to the basic doctrinal structure borrowed from Fuller and the Hail Mary style of developing Roman worship for Lutherans.

They love incense but are never incensed by the corruption and decline of Biblical doctrine, best articulated by Luther-Melanchthon-Chemnitz but energized today by their Father Below.

WELS warned their members against the snip-and-clip new "translations," but the District Presidents (minus one) endorsed the New NIV, which is even worse than the original botch.



Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Epiphany 4 - "Christ pictured to us in this narrative the Christian life, especially the office of the ministry. The ship signifies Christendom; the sea, the world; the wind, Satan; his disciples are the preachers and pious Christians; Christ is the truth, the Gospel, and faith."

Luther's Sermons - Matthew 8:23-27.
Fourth Sunday after Epiphany.
Christ stilling the Tempest, or Faith and Unbelief, and Love


II. OF LOVE.

9. The second part of our text, treating of love, shows forth Christ in that he rises, breaks his sleep for their sake, takes to heart their need as though it were his own, and ministers to them help out of free love without any merit on their part. He neither receives nor seeks any reward for his help, but permits them to enjoy and use his power and resources. For as we have often heard it is characteristic of Christian love to do all freely and gratuitously, to the praise and honor of God, that a Christian lives upon the earth for the sake of such love, just as Christ lived solely for the purpose of doing good; as he himself says: “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Matthew 20:28.

III. THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THIS NARRATIVE.

10. Christ pictured to us in this narrative the Christian life, especially the office of the ministry. The ship signifies Christendom; the sea, the world; the wind, Satan; his disciples are the preachers and pious Christians; Christ is the truth, the Gospel, and faith.

11. Now, before Christ entered the ship with his disciples the sea and the wind were calm; but when Christ with his disciples entered, then the storm began, as he himself says, Matthew 10:34: “Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace but a sword.” So, if Christ had left the world in peace and never punished its works, then it would indeed have been quiet. But since he preaches that the wise are fools, the saints are sinners and the rich are lost, they become wild and raging; just as at present some critics think it would be fine if we merely preached the Gospel and allowed the office of the ministry to continue in its old way. This they would indeed tolerate; but that all their doings should be rebuked and avail nothing, that they call preaching discontent and revolution, and is not Christian teaching.

12. But what does this Gospel say? There was a violent tempest on the lake when Christ and his disciples were in the ship. The sea and the wind allowed the other ships to sail in calm weather; but this ship had to suffer distress because of Christ being in it. The world can indeed tolerate all kinds of preaching except the preaching of Christ. Hence whenever he comes and wherever he is, there he preaches that he only is right and reproves all others; as he says in Matthew 12:30: “He that is not with me is against me”, and again, John 16:8: “The spirit will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment;” he says that he will not only preach, but that he will convict the whole world and what is in the world. But it is this convicting that causes such tempests and dangers to this ship. Should he preach that he would allow the world to go unpunished and to continue in its old ways, he would have kept quiet before and never have entered the world; for if the world is good and is not to be convicted then there would never have been any need of him coming into the world.
