ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Doctrinal Graphics To Share With Everyone
I have two folders for doctrinal graphics. I started the first to create my version of stained glass windows, art with a message. The second folder developed because false doctrine needed the same treatment. I can find my favorite good and bad quotations from the art associations.
I post the positive messages on Facebook in two places, on my profile and page and on the one for Martin Chemnitz Press. You may find it convenient to go through my MCP wall photos to find a graphic you want to copy and send to someone else. You do not need to be a FB friend to see the MCP material.
I also have both sets of graphics in menus on the left.
According to Jack Cascione, who featured this quotation and the Robert Preus essay supporting it, we were all justified before we were born. The Ed Preuss book elaborates by saying the Hindus and all other pagans in the world are also justified, declared forgiven. The UOJ Stormtroopers dance around this fact, even though this book is often cited as a great classic in Lutheran justification. Yes, it is a classic pratfall, an elegantly expressed load of baloney. The Ed Preuss fans never mention that he left the Missouri Synod seminary faculty to promote Roman Catholic dogma.
As a Lutheran, he argued against the Immaculate Conception of Mary (that Mary never sinned in her entire life). As a Roman Catholic, he anonymously published another view. That is their UOJ hero, their authority on justification, who died in the Church of Rome.
There is plenty of money to be made in WELS through promoting Fuller Seminary's dogma: Church Growth principles. The Kelm-Mueller-Valleskey crowd rubbed this in the face of WELS and everyone took it. Now they complain!
But when SPindoktor Mark Schroeder tells a whopper on the front page of Christian News, they are once again silent. My last words will be, "I told you!"
Look at those Church Growth Eyes! Hunter published this photo of himself, so I used it as is, no embellishments. Charis or another one of those overlapping groups invited Hunter and Waldo Werning to teach WELS.
The Wisconsin Sect had no problem with Methodist New Ager Leonard Sweet or ELCA theologian Martin Marty, but they had a big enough hissy over Missouri guys to get the Hunter-Werning confab nixed.
Members and pastors keep taking it and paying for it, in every way possible.
At the WELS convention, the leaders will make the NNIV seem like the best thing since Tiger Meat and the only possible translation to use. And it will be voted in.
