Idolatrous Evangelicals - Including the Lutherans Who Consider Themselves Elite

Not my street, but this may be yours:
irrelevant cat graphic.

My recent trip down memory lane - Mark Driscoll - reminded me of the great cancer among Evangelicals. I would call them all the Protestants, including Lutherans, who seem to be more conservative than the mainline leaders.

The great cancer is idolatry, which few Evangelicals and Lutherans admit is a problem. The Evangelical superstars can do no wrong. Perhaps most of us do not know most of them, but every circle has its list. Those people are beyond criticism, can do no wrong, and expect to command with regal authority.

Driscoll, widely honored in the Church Growth coven, talked about "The Apostle Paul, too, putting people in the wood-chipper" and "piles of bodies outside the church when he was done." His 10,000 member church and his little sect blew up, but he popped up again in Scottsdale, Arizona.

 You dare arouse the wrath of the great and powerful OZ -  Mark and Avoid?


Who are the Lutheran idols? Mark and Avoid Jeske surely is one. When the WELS Discussions people criticized me for posting published information about the latest pastor kicked out of their sect, they never admitted he was an honored protege of Jeske, featured at yet another Change or Die! Conference. He snarls just like Mark and Avoid, so he certainly belongs in the stratosphere with his polysect mentor.

Missouri starts with the infallible Walther and his divinely anointed followers, especially F. Pieper and George Stoeckhardt. Reading some chatter about Walther will have a disturbing effect, because the chatter about Calvin is the same. Ditto the Preus family and their obsession with Objective Justification, a passion that overlooks Robert Preus' last book, Justification and Rome.

If Walther wrote it, the statement is not merely holy writ for the CFW claque - it supersedes the Scriptures.

 Everyone but Herman Otten is on the cover - but Herman got his own ballad sung by Matt Hisself.


 This cover is more honest -  Halle Pietist Knapp the OJ/SJ book in English, thanks to a Calvinist translator; Pietist Stephan the Halle-trained adulterer and UOJist; Pietist Walther the kidnapper, thief, and enabler of Stephan; Loehe, whose pastors actually invited the Perryville fanatics to join their group (Lutheran Church - Loehe Synod). 


 When Charlotte got sick, Karl stopped publishing.
A co-inky dink?

Almost all the theologians of the 20th century made strange purring noises when mentioning Karl Barth, the adulterous apostate with a Commie mistress, Charlotte Kirschbaum. The 21st century may not be so kind to Barth, now that the open secret is suddenly an open scandal. Many knew but pretended not to know for decades, because Evangelicals, mainline Protestants, and Roman Catholics swooned about Barth. My scorn about Barth and Tillich was not well received at Notre Dame, whether it was my program advisor, my Roman Catholic professor, or my dissertation advisor - three schools of thought, each one an Oblate of Karl Immaculatus.

Writing to an Evangelical professor from my hometown, I mentioned what a radical apostate Barth was. The professor ripped my head off. My friend from Yale, now at Princeton, researched Barth's Communist sympathies decades ago and is the Barth specialist there. The facts? - nevermind.

 WELS Discussions - "We are lucky to have Mark as our Synod President." He absolved an unrepentant Hochmuth of all sin in a message to the entire sect.

Each WELS Synod President is infallible. After all, they named the call room at the seminary The Holy Spirit Room. WELS pastors say they cannot debate with the Circuit Pastor because the Holy Spirit called him - that would be arguing with God. One can only guess how much higher up the DPs are.

The last three Synod Presidents have each covered up felonies - two murders and child porn trafficking (at the Love Shack, no less). God has certainly placed those men as leaders of WELS - to punish them for teaching against Justification by Faith.

 Pope John the Malefactor can kick pastors and congregations out and yet retain his princely salary and benefits. Your offerings, his retirement - LOL!
 Fish hats, fish hats, double-pointed fish hats.
Fish hats, fish hats, bishops have one.
He will do your thinking for you - for the sake of good order.
