"Thus he lets us also disgrace ourselves and labor with human doctrines, that we may see and understand how necessary and precious God’s Word is and how doctrines do not help the least without God’s Word." Luther's Sermons, Lent 4
The Big Five substance is based upon ELCA, because the smaller sects are yearning to be more like their Big Angry Sister. There is not much difference. The executives who grab all the loot are more efficient if they quietly go down to the Caribbean in January and enjoy a free vacation with Thrivent. They share the same nonsense among each other because they follow the mainlines, which are even more extreme, enjoying the fruits of DEI without naming it.
WELS even has a coaching business, "training" coaches for great success and
giving birth to more coachlings who pay to become coaches. All this is done without the Word of God because their focus is on their own fragile egos. Two coaches took laity to court for hurting their pastoral egos. The judge laughed the coachlings out of the courtroom.
Clergy training sessions deal with everything except the efficacious Word, faith in Jesus Christ, and Justification by Faith. Luther experienced the nonsense and corruption of Romanism. Now the "Lutherans" are doing their best to become priests with pretty dresses and papal scowls. I was reading some nonsense from the Ovaltines - the ALPB Online Forum. Sure enough - the author belonged to STS, Society for the Holy Trinity (in Latin). The STSians have to add their title (or shame) every time they post something near and dear to their Jesuit pope. ELDONUTs are similar, secretive and sly, the maggots of Almy.
The issue is not papal dogma or Fuller toxins, as long as they avoid the Word itself, faith in the Savior, study of the Scriptures (not the corrupted versions).
Apostasy, the life-blood of the Big Five, unites those who universally hate the actual Scriptures. They can do or say anything, as long as they avoid the core Scriptural values and embrace the corruption.

| These two close friends provided a corrupt Greek New Testament for those creating the Revised Version, a disaster yes, but the corruption has continued ever since. Your sect embraces every Bible except the King James Version. |
