Thanks for exposing the toxic WELS!

Call Me Pentecostal

 

The Pentecostal label may have dwindled or merged - hard to tell. When Christianity Today phoned me about Cho - the Korean felon, years ago, he asked me how I obtained a particular statement. I said to the editor, "I got that from your magazine!" Christina found the reference for me - at the Luther Seminary library. 

Pentecostalism was hot in all the mainlines, which I noticed in Midland, Michigan, including the LCMS congregations to some extent. Those days were the birth pangs of "Church Growth, sometimes expressed as Church Growth." (I heard a WELS DP say that without projectile vomiting.)

I learned the reason for the LCMS being so infatuated with themselves. The lies about Stephan and CFW Walther were a Fort Knox of dishonesty. Even worse, the delusional clergy and laity distorted the Gospel horrendously to gild the statues and statutes of The Great Walther with constant praise. 

Granted - the Lutheran Church in America was tepid at best and Marxist at the upper levels. Each glob of Lutherdom praised itself (ALC versus LCA versus LCMS, etc). 

This turmoil got me to pursue the Biblical issues in relation to the Book of Concord, even when the LCMS Michigan District President asked me about serving one of his Pentecostal congregations. I quoted Luther - "They act as if they swallowed the Holy Ghost, feathers and all." 

?!

Pentecostal

I suggest that people study the Holy Spirit in the KJV, Luther, and such authors as Melanchthon and Chemnitz. I am afraid that 99% of Lutherdom today is empty, whether radical in its gay atheism (not just ELCA) or sweating for a replacement for Church Growth - packaged, putrid, programs.

The Lutheran synods do not know where they are going because they have so many baubles to play with, so little content. As one stupefied WELS leader said, "Isn't it great that we had three pastors and three churches! Now we will have two pastors in one church with more attendance." Yay!!!! What???? 

"Wuz I smart or not?"

He is really onto something, but what it is, I can't tell.

So Simple - The Faux-Lutherans Cannot Grasp the Holy Spirit.

 

Faux-Lutherans claim that the entire world has already been declared innocent, free of all sin. An ELS president/professor declared, "The people in Hell are forgiven - they just don't know it." Some call the dogma "the guiltfree saints in Hell."

I remember Wayne Mueller, the Christian News hero, declaring at the WELS youth convention - Evangelism is easy, just tell everyone "You are forgiven." The Wisconsin cult has been shrinking ever since, just like Missouri, ELCA, and the tiny CLC (sic).

The Holy Spirit and the Word

Genesis 1 is Trinitarian. God the Father commands - God the Son executes the command. That is clear from the language - "Let there be Light" which means the Son/Logos will do that - "And there was Light" before the sun and stars were created. (See John 1 for verification.)

Genesis 1 also reveals the Holy Spirit hovering over Creation, in Genesis 1 and John 1. The Spirit is never without the Word, and the Word is never without the Spirit. The Holy Trinity does not include synod presidents, though they insist on their royal attitude.

Bishop Stephan (ordained by Walther), Archbishop Walther, and many others have insisted on their own false teaching, banishing anyone who questioned them. The Four Waltherian cults (LCMS-ELS-WELS-CLC-sic) have carried out the worst, abused the remainder, and bathed in the smelling salts of Enthusiasm.

Simple Yet Complex

KJV John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

 

Verse 9

Jesus Himself identified sin as unbelief, which means that access to grace (Romans 5:1-2) is faith in Jesus Christ. Strange, because the Five Apostate Synod Cults consider money as access to grace. No, really. They slobber over any rich person or gubmint entity that will give them money to keep up their luxuries - like the $500,000+ synod president's little cottage.

Each cult has its Captain Ahab who insists on his (or her) prerogatives. He and his drones make sure no one suggests a worthwhile, Scriptural concept. 

The result is a bevvy of Enthusiasts from one fad or another, as appealing as stale Wonder Bread. Their $15 million gyms and crumbling colleges/seminaries are stranded on rocky shoals because they refuse the one thing needful - the Word of God, which needs nothing more than the best Bible (KJV), the best teachers and preachers. 

The bigger the ship, the greater the disaster. Ask ELCA or the Waltherian Four.

Otten to Preus Clan to Otten - Unbearable Light of Sects

 

I will not summarize - lest too many fall asleep on their keyboards. This is Rolf Preus being interviewed by Rolf Preus's son at Herman Otten's congregation in New Haven, Missouri, not to be confused with New Haven, Connecticut.

The avalanche of unread books is a colorful backdrop for an incredibly boring discussion. Imagine how little time was spent studying Justification by Faith, the Chief Article of Christianity. The Preus clan (Robert and Jack) made a living from being Waltherian, embracing Objective Faithless Justification in the name of Orthodoxy. The dogma of Bishop Martin Stephan, STD, infected his young women with syphilis while still in Germany and got tossed in due time by CFW Walther, who picked the right time to riot, grab the gold and property, and send Stephan to Illinois.

An earlier Preus wrote a book on Objective Faithless Justification, which is revered today by the same hooligans who left Stephan's congregation because he was under house arrest back in the old country. 

CFW Walther's riot in Perryville was based upon the fake, "sudden" discovery of Stephan's disease, which was already known before they landed in New Orleans.

The short version is this - Robert Preus' final book clearly teaches Justification by Faith, although there is some equivocation. Rolf and his brother supposedly edited the book post-mortem, only to make that go away so they could return to their precious OJ.

Jack Cascione missed the whole point about Robert Preus' last book; the link on his outrage is here. Rolf Preus stopped waving his father's book around, once I pointed out the obvious Justification by Faith passages therein.

Stephan wanted to be made bishop before they landed in New Orleans. The Waltherian Four - LCMS, WELS, ELS, CLC (sic) are surprisingly close to ELCA, its crafts and assaults. They continue their brain-dead pseudo-orthodoxy. Matt the Fatt has donned his CM Almy bishop gowns. The LCMS International Center is a subtle ironic joke about how they began (STD) and continue without remorse (Universal Objective Justification).

Many Have Noticed This Among Big Five Apostates - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic)

 

Many have noticed the narrowed eyes, the stink-eye in the Lutheran sect they have joined. First of all, they soon observe that they do not really belong, even when they are told they are not up to the standards of the cult. Size does not matter. "They will never accept you so do not rock the leaking boat."

ELCA is supreme in this regard. They are still pounding the wardrums for DEI after spending decades to push millions out the door - to make the ELCA cult pure. Judging from their warm-up for the Phoenix convention, 2025, they are eager to have a more rigorous cleansing. The Waltherian Four want to be more like them.

Is it possible that the Waltherian Four have driven out their members too, drooling over the size of ELCA (ha!) ? How else can we explain the fruit of Church Growth for decades?

How is it that the Southern Babtists are conservative enough to refuse the New NIV at their bookstores when WELS-LCMS-ELCA love that monstrosity?

Has Anyone Else Guessed - the Big Five Apostates - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) Are Clones of America's Business Failures?

 

The Lutheran Church in America modeled its organization after General Motors. Nobody was ashamed - they were proud of copying Management by Objective. I heard Peter Drucker's MBO in the LCA and - surprise! - WELS. Drucker enchanted denominations by promoting the clownish pratfalls of Fuller, Willow Creek, the Hour of Power, etc.

Just as business devoured itself with MBO, so the synods spat on the Means of Grass and the KJV - to make themselves cool (!?) and waste everyone's money but not theirs. Oh no.

The Waltherian Four - LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC - wanted to preen their feathers and strut around showing off their superiority. Given their unified (Fuller etc) stupidity, they have nowhere to hide their colossal failures, clergy arrests, and bankruptcies.

Tis funny - Thrivent gives a lot of money to the Luther-dumbs by waving their irrevocable charitable trust annuities [beware this investment vehicle] to the grandparents, rewarding the clergy for selling something they don't understand, and giving some loot to the synods.

Schocked! LutherQueasies Emphasize the Objective Justification Denier Philip Melanchthon!

Posted on Thursday, December 26, 2024 - 9:44 am:       An interesting post on Melanchthon and the Supper: https://www.theconservativereformer.com/articles/m elanchthon-catechism

According to tradition, LQ has always jumped on Justification by Faith the way a hobo jumps on a hotdog. Or, they look more like the Chicago Bears trying to scramble for the slippery football, not a graceful sight.

I wonder if Christian (sic) News (sic) is aware of this debacle. Cub Editor Phil Halestorm became so enraged by my articles that he removed me from the subscription list - not just my articles - but my ability to read and react to his Unitarian Universalism. Members of that club call themselves U-U's.

Notice the wide gap between the Waltherian U-U's and the teaching of Luther, Melanchthon, and Chemnitz. The Walther Fan Club - ignorant of the Gospel - is forever trying to sell CFW Walther to the masses and the missus. "But darling Philly, aren't you offended to learn that Walther kidnapped his niece and nephew, covered up for Bishop Stephan's adultery with teenaged girls, and stole all the leader's gold and land?"

The Walther Cult never stops placing an almost opaque layer of lies over the Bishop Stephan STD saga. Walther was the enforcer of Stephan's tyranny and crossed the ocean with Stephan taking his main mistress and oldest son, leaving Stephan's wife and infected children at home to die. 

There is a great hymn - "Built on the Rock" - which is just the opposite of the Objective Justification obsessions. The Walther version is "Built on My Lies."

The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod took forever to publish their greatest collection of humor, even better than Matt the Fatt's own work.
