Wartburg Theological Seminary

30 mins · 

Minna Bothwell, WTS '14, has been named one of the The Des Moines Register's People to Watch in 2019!

Minna, "Has become a local leader in activist spaces confronting issues like climate change and gun violence. But her core mission to lift up the voices of immigrant and refugee communities, LGBTQ people and other marginalized groups starts at Capitol Hill Lutheran Church."

We love how this article shows that pastoral ministry is so much more than being in a pulpit! We are grateful to God for Minna's faithful leadership, advocacy, commitment to justice, and unrelenting hospitality in her community and beyond.

Sermon - The Great Miracle - God Incarnate - God in the Flesh

Isaiah 7:10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.

13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

This passage is often debated over the issue of the Virgin Birth. For some reason, the people who pretend to be shocked about rationalism and denying the Virgin Birth of Jesus forget one thing. The greatest single source of this rationalism was Halle University, which was the center of denying the truths of the Scripture and defining Justification as universal, everyone forgiven without faith.

As I have said many times before, the language alone of the passage states that this will be a great miracle, even greater than the one promised by the prophet. When the hypocritical king denies any need for a miracle, the response is extremely harsh, ending with God Himself will give this miracle.

Based upon the language alone, this miracle must be gigantic, a miracle of miracles, so the Halle wise guys said, "Just a young woman giving birth to a baby." And their fellow wise guys have said the same thing ever since.

As dense as that is, that rationalism pales in comparison with the even greater miracle - God in the flesh. Immanuel can only mean that. El is for God, and Immanu means "with us."

So the issue is not proving what the passage says. The Hebrew word almah means virgin, and the explanation goes beyond that, transcends that to say - God with us - his name.

One part of this miracle reflects upon the other. This unique birth to come would be the marker of the Messiah coming to the world. Because it was far beyond man's reason, that also signaled that the Son of God would not act according to man's material desires, but fulfill God's will.

This is a good example of what Luther taught about God's Word. He observed that men claim they cannot believe what is taught in the Scriptures because they defy human reason. But if man could comprehend one thing, like Creation, or the Incarnation (God with us; God in the flesh), we would not need the Bible at all.

The Bible reveals mysteries through the teaching of the Holy Spirit. We can support those mysteries through our observations, but teaching comes by revelation, not by adding up our evidence.

For example, Creation is a mystery. No one can explain how it happened, and every effort by man falls apart. However, we can see the truth in that mystery when we observe the way everything around us is perfectly times so that animal and plant life work together in every possible way.

I have a plant that sows its seed easily, and in doing so provides food for the beneficial insects all summer - Fever Few. It is also a medicine for headaches. I planted two of them this fall, and every time we have a thaw after a hard freeze, the plant greens up and grows again. Not even the mints are doing that. This has to be design rather than random chance. And it can be multiplied thousands of times over in anyone's yard.

Is Jesus the Son of God? His resurrection has never been refuted, and the greatest skeptics have to agree. Of course we can always find some so blind they have to deny everything. But this has withstood the attacks of the rationalists, whose reasoning falls apart with only a little research.

In a way, the attacks were good, because they made many researches go back to the sources to show the wise guys were wrong - about the Star of Bethlehem, about the early date and great reliability of the Fourth Gospel.

What began as a mystery - Creation - and continued as a mystery - the Promise of a Savior, God in the flesh, the Virgin Birth - culminated in Christ dying for the sins of the world - the Atonement.

Lenski, p. 382:
The sum and substance of true religion is fellowship with God. Hence any number of men claim to have such fellowship, in particular the heretics who deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that his blood alone places us into and maintains us in fellowship with God. That is true to this day. John's encyclical rightly lays the circle of facts centering on fellowship with God upon the great fact that Jesus Christ is the Logos of the Life, the Son of God, to which fact the apostles are witnesses. The presentation is simple, clear as crystal, complete as a unit. John ranges the facts that are pertinent to fellowship with God together so that the readers may at once see that they are truly in this essential fellowship and may also note who is and who is not in it. The presentation of this group of facts is an assurance to the readers and at the same time strikes at the liars who deny the deity of Jesus and the power of his blood.

2 τεκνια μου ταυτα γραφω υμιν ινα μη αμαρτητε, και εαν τις αμαρτη, παρακλητον εχομεν προς τον πατερα ιησουν χριστον δικαιον

Very basic simple Greek. Why? In a metro area, many know Greek but some only basic Greek for trade.

2 και αυτος ιλασμος εστιν περι των αμαρτιων ημων ου περι των ημετερων δε μονον αλλα και περι ολου του κοσμου

propitiation? - ιλασμος - by placing the Greek word in Google and adding Strong, we get an instant list of occurrences and possible meanings.

3 και εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εγνωκαμεν αυτον εαν τας εντολας αυτου τηρωμεν

obey commands or guard/observe them? The verb is used in the sense of guarding a jail cell. 

kappa is often the sign of the perfect tense.

4 ο λεγων εγνωκα αυτον, και τας εντολας αυτου μη τηρων, ψευστης εστιν και εν τουτω η αληθεια ουκ εστιν

The positive and the negative statements are basic to the Christian Faith. Note that the UOJists do not admit, "We are against JBFA," but say "We excommunicate those who deny our precious UOJ." That is dishonest and cowardly.

5 ος δ αν τηρη αυτου τον λογον,  αληθως εν τουτω η αγαπη του θεου τετελειωται; εν τουτω γινωσκομεν οτι εν αυτω εσμεν

The Greeks had the brains, but we have the punctuation.

6 ο λεγων εν αυτω μενειν οφειλει - καθως Eκεινος περιεπατησεν - και αυτος ουτως περιπατειν

The second infinitive finishes the thought. The one saying ought to remain (John 15)  - just like Jesus - that man ought to walk thusly. Jesus is the bracketed thought, the ideal or pattern.

7 αδελφοι ουκ εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν, αλλ εντολην παλαιαν ην ειχετε απ αρχης; η εντολη η παλαια εστιν ο λογος ον ηκουσατε απ αρχης

Paleontology. 

8 παλιν εντολην καινην γραφω υμιν, ο εστιν αληθες εν αυτω και εν υμιν, οτι η σκοτια παραγεται και το φως το αληθινον ηδη φαινει

9 ο λεγων εν τω φωτι ειναι - και τον αδελφον αυτου μισων - εν τη σκοτια εστιν εως αρτι

John is addressing those fooled by the false teachers, who claim to be with the light and are in darkness and hate.

10 ο αγαπων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τω φωτι μενει και σκανδαλον εν αυτω ουκ εστιν

Strong Thayer for σκανδαλον. The term meant the trigger of a snare trap.

11 ο δε μισων τον αδελφον αυτου εν τη σκοτια εστιν και εν τη σκοτια περιπατει και ουκ οιδεν που υπαγει οτι η σκοτια ετυφλωσεν τους οφθαλμους αυτου

12 γραφω υμιν τεκνια οτι αφεωνται υμιν αι αμαρτιαι δια το ονομα αυτου

Dr. Lito Cruz - Math PhD and Certified Lutheran Pastor - On CFW Walther

Dr. Lito Cruz

These quotes are taken from the work of the Rev. Dr. Karl Edwin Kuenzel.

I blogged about this in here

The fanatical adoration of CF W Walther in American Lutheranism is astoundingly cultic already, so here are the results of Dr. Kunzel's evaluation:

Walther was a tremendous leader, a dynamic preacher, a powerful lecturer, and a remarkable writer. However, lest we wind up worshipping the man, as many had done with Martin Stephan, and perhaps some do with Luther, we need to be mindful of some of Walther’s deficiencies.

Walther was legalistic when it came to the matters of usury, dancing and going to the theater, life insurance, running a tavern, in-law marriage (e.g., a man marrying the sister of his deceased wife), geographical parish boundaries, the local congregation, and the pastoral office. He often made his position as if it were Scripturally based and therefore God-given doctrine, when, in fact, he was going beyond what the Bible says and turning matters of casuistry into untenable doctrines.
....
Not only did Walther use terms that were readily misunderstood by others, but another cause for his naevi [faults], according to his student August Pieper, was that Walther depended too heavily on the secondary sources of theology, i.e., Luther and the lesser fathers. In spite of all his emphasis on Scripture, there can be no denying this. Although Walther was a great and a very talented leader, he was a poor, even an inferior exegete. He had only an average knowledge of the original biblical languages. Frequently he would cite dozens of Bible passages merely because Luther and the dogmaticians had done so. Yet these passages did not prove what they were supposed to prove. Although very eager to express himself on matters, he failed to recognize that his position was based on translations and not on the original text. Thus, he could say something as if it were doctrinally true, but without a firm scriptural basis. Overall, the knowledge of Scripture that Walther had was more an intimate acquaintance with Luther’s Bible and knowledge of certain passages rather than knowledge of the whole line of thought of a biblical book and of the original text.
Note: The conclusion is that he was a fantastic quoter but a poor and weak exegete who could not read the original Biblical text. As we can read, seems like he had an opinion about any spiritual matter, "eager to express himself on matters". There are plenty of these cultic types of people who can even quote Scripture from memory but when analyzed deeper, it is off.

Fair Warning - David Scaer Has Published a Book

He wants $35 for his Lulu book, which he could give away as a PDF.

The UOJ stylists like Scaer and Otten did not invent Universal Objective Justification, but they were part of Team Preus in shoving aside Justification by Faith (Dr. Walter A. Maier) - calling it false doctrine - promoting their Halle rationalistic Pietism as:

1. Lutheran orthodoxy - false;
2. True Waltherism - true;
3. Confessional Lutheranism - haha.

Maier earned a PhD in Semitics at Harvard University, while Scaer got his ThD from his own seminary - not exactly a broad or prestigious degree for David. John Johnson, former president of Concordia St. Louis, told me, "A Missouri doctorate is only good for teaching in the LCMS, nowhere else." 

Those who brought UOJ into American Lutherdom were uneducated and unqualified to teach. Bishop Martin Stephan chose the John Moldstad approach - drop out of college and trust in politics to get ahead. But Stephan did study a little at Halle University, central node of Pietism and rationalism.

CFW Walther only earned a bachelor's degree at Leipzic University, a rationalistic school in a rationalistic system that only ordained rationalists like his father. Rationalism is pretty dry, so Walther, his brother, and their circle sought out one Pietistic guru, and when he died, another one - Martin Stephan. The open Pietists were denied pastoral calls and obtained tutoring positions instead, as CFW's friends did. How did Walther pass the exam that excluded non-rationalists as "mystics" and "Pietists?" Stephan called Walther a fox, so let us assume he was crafty.

When Walther made himself head of the seminary, why did he create a textbook out of Baier (his edition of course)? Is Baier known for anything other than being edited by Walther, BA?

When America needed more of Luther (as Krauth and Schmauk understood in their books), Walther had his students jabbering in Latin and studying Walther-Baier. Even today, the rest of us marvel at how the LCMS continually venerates Walther, even though many more were far superior in intellect and knowledge of Biblical teaching.

As Egbert Schaller correctly pointed out, Walther was weak in Biblical teaching and leaned on his thesis statements, not Biblical exegesis. More of the same came from his hand-picked double, F. Pieper, who would have people memorize and repeat Latin terms far removed from the actual text.

The proof of this is the peak of Walther-Pieper nonsense, the scrambled, confused, and ridiculous Justification section of the Brief Statement, 1932, which is published with great solemnity and honor on the LCMS website.  Everything is a human document - and not the revealed Word of God - until we get to Walther, Pieper, and the B.S. of 1932.

Scripture teaches that God has already declared the whole world to be righteous in Christ, Rom. 5:19; 2 Cor. 5:18-21; Rom. 4:25...

Does Romans 5:19 teach this? No. Does 2 Corinthians 5:18-21? No. Romans 4:25? No, no, hilariously no - because Romans 4:24 refutes the B.S. 1932 claim - the entire Romans 4 chapter is about Abraham's Justification by Faith applied to us. Below is a Luther quotation that addresses the "all" confusion among those with poor reading comprehension and extreme veneration of Walther-Pieper.

Not All Are Justified

87. And I cannot reject this interpretation; for St. Paul also speaks in like manner in Romans 5:18: “As through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men unto justification of life.” Although all men are not justified through Christ, he is, nevertheless, the only man through whom justification comes.

So it is also here. Although all men are not illumined, nevertheless this is the only light through which all illumination comes. The Evangelist has used this manner of speech freely, and had no fear that some might take offense because he says “all men.” He thought he would anticipate all such offense, and explains himself before and afterwards, and says: “The darkness apprehended him not, and his own received him not.” These words are sufficient proof to prevent anyone from saying that the Evangelist meant to say that all men are illumined; but he did wish to say that Christ is the only Light that lighteth all men, and without him no man is lighted.

How did Valleskey advance his ridiculous ode to Fuller Church Growth?

Answer - By stating his little theses based upon his little knowledge of the Scriptures, which refute his beloved UOJ and his true love - Church Growth falsehoods from Fuller (anti-inerrancy) Seminary.

WELSians - realize this. The Bible is flexible, volatile, and fallible, but the seminary professors at Mordor are infallible, inerrant, and prone to revenge, visiting their wrath upon the third and fourth generation. But those who obey and join the drunken revelries, they will be rewarded on earth until it comes time to pay their dues to their Father Below.

This train don't carry believers, this train.
This train don't carry believers, this train.
This train don't carry believers,
just false teachers and their eager beavers.
This train don't carry believers, this train.

Who's Who in WELS? Ski and Lawrenz

Ski is enjoying his fourth district in four calls.
Pastors in the AA circuit, Anything Goes District claimed Ski was very popular. Yes, especially with moving companies.

The Martin Luther College InFocus magazine must have chuckled in listing their college presidents, DMLC, NWC, and MLC - Lawrenz was president for one month, a shorter tenure than Frey's presidency at Michigan Lutheran Seminary.

 This was some kind of joint ELCA-WELS mission trip, filed under "Nothing happened, I know nothing about it, who told you?"

Picking Up LCMS Background Chatter

 Now the 1932 Brief Statement is the bludgeon that judges
and condemns Justification by Faith.
Remember that ship? - Concordia

Our seminarian asked for some background from the quotation I copied. I do not follow pastors in the LCMS enough to keep track of them. I know there is an "ultra-orthodox" group within Missouri, which means they adore Walther. 

Lutherquest.org and alpb.org will provide a lot of opinions on the upcoming SP election in 2019.

I found the current LQ post interesting on New Seminex at Concordia, St. Louis and doubtless Ft. Wayne: denial of the traditional text (Kloha in the lead), Voelz denying the ending of Mark. The St. Louis faculty denies the six-day Creation. 

I was reading Gems today, did not get far at the radiation clinic. But an early quote was that reason cannot comprehend the Trinity. If it could, the Scriptures would be unnecessary. Apply that to Creation. When the faculty sides with the evolution party of science, we can see what they think of the Bible as revelation. 

Now the radiation staff, doctor and nurses, want copies of Gems. Ordered.

Rolf Preus does not think WAM II would have defeated Uncle Jack as SP. No, not after the Preus brothers and Otten destroyed WAM II because he taught Justification by Faith - like his father - Dr. Walter A. Maier, who invented radio ministry, teaching JBF and Biblical inerrancy.

The LutherQueasies (Webber and Rolf Preus, OJists who hate each other - don't they all?) keep yakking about ministry. But the Chief Article condemns their chatter because Justification by Faith judges all articles.

LCMS began its death spiral when the radical Left made Objective Justification canon law, a convention stipulation in 1932 that ushered in evolution, textual abandonment, rationalism, Romanism, Pentecostalism, and Church Growth.

Harrison, McCain, and the LCMS windbags made OJ official with their dogmatics text and their gigantic Small Catechism.

 Otten's political tabloid opened all the doors to apostasy,
fanning the sparks of OJ to a blaze.

If you are on a cellphone or in an otherwise low-bandwidth situation, you can always access the text-only authors page or the text-only catalog. Both are listed at the top of the menu on the upper left side of the page. These may be handy if you are out and about and want to recommend a book to a friend. Six Dozen Books! There are now 72 Lutheran Library titles available. These cover the range of Christian books including daily and weekly devotionals, sermons, Q and A and catechismal materials, biographies, etc. Both “milk” and “meat”. But even the theological titles have been carefully chosen to be both orthodox and readable. Format Updates All ebooks have been updated with new formatting. Feel free to re-download your PDF files or request updated versions of EPUB or Kindle MOBI files. What’s changed? The embedded images in the books will display better on e-readers. There have also been improvements made to the line spacing and typefaces. Novels and Christian Fiction While books like The Shack have given “Christian Fiction” a bad name, there are well-written novels in the genre which glorify the One True God and can encourage faith. An author of such books who deserves to be better known is the Rev. Joseph Hocking. Joseph Hocking was a faithful Nonconformist minister in Wales who had nearly 100 books published in his lifetime. Over the next year, the Lutheran Library plans to release many of these in ebook editions. Christian Fiction Church Schools and Seminaries All of the books put out by the Lutheran Library may be freely shared and copied. If you know of or are affiliated with a Church School or Seminary, consider using LutheranLibrary.org materials which may be translated into other languages and/or printed without incurring extra charges or dues for rights. May the Lord bless the next generation with faithful teachers and good material. Upcoming in 2019 ”” Some of the books to be released in the next year include the following: The Life of Charles Porterfield Krauth, by A. Spaeth Life and Times of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg by W. Mann The Planting of the Lutheran Church in America (also known as The Halle Reports) Morning Exercises by Rev. William Jay The Child’s Book by Emanuel Greenwald Weapons of Mystery by Joseph Hocking And more! A Personal Note My heart breaks for the younger generations, who in many cases don’t even realize they are starving for truth, or even believe that it exists or can be known. A major hope for starting the Lutheran Library has been to find and make available Biblically sound, readable books from a time when the American Lutheran Church was in a better place (the late 1800’s to early 1900’s). Please pray that these books may encourage some to understand and believe the gospel, and more than that, to know why the Lutheran Confessions are an accurate and trustworthy explanation of the teaching of Scripture. In searching out these books, it has been quite a revelation to me to discover that a large part of the conservative Lutheran tradition was apart from the Synodical Conference. Simon Peter Long, Theodore Schmauk, Emanuel Greenwald, Henry Eyster Jacobs, Charles Krauth, and Matthias Loy are all my friends and brothers now through their writings. Nothing would make me happier than for them to be as well-known and appreciated as they were not so many years ago. My own history is a story for another time. In brief, like Lehmanovsky, Lichtenstein, and Einspruch (titles by each available in Lutheran Library), I am a “branch grafted back in”. By God’s grace I heard and believed the Gospel as a teenager. After college I attended seminary for a time, but family difficulties made it impossible for me to continue. Eventually I fell into so-called “spiritual but not religious” (really pagan) practices for about 20 years. One day I saw my Bible on the shelf, took it down and by God’s grace remembered my faith. Now a much humbler man, I depend only on His goodness through Jesus Christ as the sole means by which I have any hope for eternal life. To God be the glory, great things He hath done. Amen Merry Christmas from the Lutheran Library. The Lutheran Library The goal of the Lutheran Library is to re-release well-written and readable books from sound, faithful American Lutherans of the past for the enjoyment and edification of a new generation. All books are available at lutheranlibrary.org for free download in a variety of formats for Kindle, Apple, and other devices. Your help is appreciated in spreading the word as often and in as many ways as you feel is appropriate. May God bless you and keep you, help you, defend you, and lead you to know the depth of His love. Amen 2018-12-17

Posted on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 - 6:48 pm:       I have tried my best to keep up with Rev. Klawitter's case over time. I will have to say that this orthodox man was truly treated in a very shabby manner by the LCMS. It was a case of going after the "Whistle Blower" in a matter that really needed a whistle blown. He is most correct in his assertion that the Synod was misled by the current LCMS officials (inclusive of President Harrison), that this was a fellowship founded on full doctrinal agreement when, in fact, it was anything but. I can appreciate Rev. Klawitter's frustration at being shoved aside by people he thought should have recognized the correctness of his assertions respecting the LCN. Frankly I can't imagine being stuck overseas in a foreign country, being betrayed by one's own Synod, and stabbed in the back by one's fellow Confessionals with blades of apathy and indifference. BTW I will have to say that when the ACELC sent out its 2010 Letter of Fraternal Admonition we expected that the liberals in the LCMS would be less than welcoming, but we did not anticipate the vicious attacks that were leveled at us by the so-called Confessionals in our Synod. In many ways these attacks contained more vitriol than those coming from the left. [GJ - No Gospel, no Gospel fruits!]Thus I second Rev. Klawitter's assertion that if we do not stand together as Confessional men in the LCMS and support good faith efforts to reform, then there really is no future for us in the Synod. [OJ got you embracing ELCA, Fuller, and Willow Creek.] Finally, I will have to say that this is perhaps the main reason why I have put forward the idea of forming a new orthodox Synod. I have found little support (other than chat on a few websites), to do what actually needs to be done to correct the errors of our Synod. If there is no will to do the hard things necessary, then there is no hope for the LCMS to find the will to reform itself. If faithful, Confessional men will not engage in concerted action within the Synod, then we need a new Synod. As for the failures of ELDONA and the LCR, yes a failure could occur again. But what is actually be said here is that God cannot bless faithful men taking faithful action to retain the one true faith in an institutional context. The assertion that every such effort must end in failure is both illogical and faithless. If the assertion that all efforts to establish an orthodox Synod are doomed, then the LCMS never should have been formed by all of 16 congregations in 1847. “It does no good to say: I will gladly confess Christ and His Word in all articles except one or two which my tyrannical masters will not tolerate…but he who denies Christ in one article or word has in this one article denied the same Christ who would be denied in all articles; (Luther) [GJ - What is the Chief Article?
