Gollum's Ring - Fits Matt the Fatt, Mirthless Mark Schroeder, And the Rest of the Walther Cult

 

A conservative journalist associated the Democrat Party, its crafts and assaults, with Tolkien's Gollum, the demonic fellow who lusted for the special ring that Bilbo Baggins found. Indeed, the ring was enchanting and destructive at the same time.

Archbishop Liz Eaton has felt the magic of that ring as well.

One Church Growther (ELS) jumped all over me for reading The Lord of the Rings. It turns out that he was wary of LOTR but enchanted by Fuller Seminary. His fake doctorate from Ft. Wayne was anti-Scripture, immersed in the real dangers ahead.

This little post is an analogy of an analogy, so patience is warranted. Literature is full of analogies, and universities even test that skill when students apply for scholarships. In literature, there are Moby Dick, Pilgrim's Progress, LOTR, and many more analogies.

American denominations are bewitched by Fuller Seminary, so much that laughable DMin programs promote the idea that they are Doctors! Ha! One can judge the diploma by how many minutes it takes for them to send out stationary as "Dr. Larry Leeryson," even before the precious diploma dries. The "rings of power" have infected many seminaries that long to produce doctors. They may be little DMins (which sound like "demons"), and they all look toward Fuller Seminary as Holy Mother Evangelism, though they are limited to toxic ideas from that fetid stream.

By now, all the Protestant denominations, Rome, and others - thus -

Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Trinity 13 - "Then the Samaritan lifts the wounded man on his beast. This beast is Christ the Lord himself, he carries us, we lay upon his shoulders, neck and body. There is scarcely a more lovely picture in the entire Gospel, than where Christ the Lord compares himself to a shepherd, in Luke 15:1, who carries the lost sheep on his shoulders back to the fold. He still continually carries his lost sheep thus at the present day."

 

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

KJV Luke 10:23-37.
Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity.
The Good Samaritan

34. Then the Samaritan lifts the wounded man on his beast. This beast is Christ the Lord himself, he carries us, we lay upon his shoulders, neck and body. There is scarcely a more lovely picture in the entire Gospel, than where Christ the Lord compares himself to a shepherd, in Luke 15:1, who carries the lost sheep on his shoulders back to the fold. He still continually carries his lost sheep thus at the present day.

35. The stable or inn is Christianity, here in this world, where we must remain for a short time. The host is the preacher of the Word of God and of the Gospel, who is to nurse and care for us.

36. Now here we have the substance of the Gospel. The kingdom of Christ is a kingdom of mercy and grace, in which there is nothing but a continual carrying of the lost. Christ carries our infirmities and sicknesses, he takes our sins upon himself and has patience when we fail. We still always lay about his neck, and yet he does not become weary of carrying us, which should be the greatest comfort for us when we are in conflict with sin.

37. Ministers in this kingdom are to comfort the consciences, deal gently with them and feed them with the Gospel, carry the weak, heal the sick, and know how to divide the Word rightly, and administer the same to every one according to his needs. This is the office of a true bishop and minister, and not to proceed with violence as our bishops do, who come threatening with stocks and the block, crying: “Ho! up there, up there, who will not, must!” This should not be, but a bishop or minister ought to resemble one who waits upon the sick, who treats them very gently, gives kind words, speaks very friendly to them and exercises all diligence in their behalf. Thus a bishop or minister should also do, and remember that his bishopric or parish is nothing but a hospital and an infirmary, where he has very many and various kinds of sick people for treatment. When Christ is thus preached faith and life meet together and fulfill the commandment of love.
