ELCA-WELS-LCMS-ELS - Why They Are Collapsing and Becoming the UCC


"Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,—
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own."
James Russsel Lowell


The three parts of the Olde Synodical Conference have inched together, the friction alleviated by lavish Thrivent grants and one simple fact - they work with ELCA, covet ELCA, and agree with ELCA's dogma.

Expect no fruits of the Spirit when the leaders teach and enforce unbelief as the foundation for forgiveness and salvation. Even the forgettable splinters have retained the worst DNA of their parents - CLC, ELDONUTs, LCR, OLCC. (The font shrinkage is a clue to their size and importance.)

I saw a photo of an old friend, we are both old now, and remember having enjoyable conversations with him. WELS threw him out for teaching the truth and Missouri dutifully treated him as a deplorable. Synods demand obedience to them, not to the Scriptures or the Confessions, which they neither know nor comprehend.

A WELS Synod Council member on why he would not teach anything from the Book of Concord - "The confessions are boring and irrelevant."

The nastiness they practice, which crosses the synodical chalk-lines, is guaranteed to shrink the synods even faster, an excellent example of creative destruction. They are  now so corrupt and evil that their collapse is inevitable, and new entities will emerge.

America is not better for having seminaries that promote an ever-changing text of the Bible, ever-worsening translations, eyes blind to anything related to the KJV. The Lutheran synods are just another branch of Fuller Seminary's odious, apostate, feminist influence, energized by the Marxist duo Barth and Kirschbaum.

We say to the Boomers of today, "Maybe your children have church positions, but your laziness, greed, and indifference to the truth has guaranteed your grandchildren will not."

More than Fuller, I blame Walther, the ultimate politician. He was the enforcer for a leader - Pastor Martin Stephan - who claimed ownership of the bodies of his female members. You think Keith Raniere and NXIUM are new, radical, and disgusting? Stephan gave syphilis to his wife, children, and mistresses. That was the scandal used to depose the bishop.

Walther and his circle of Pietists followed the Pietist Stephan blindly, willingly, slavishly. One pastor had to apologize to Stephan before he was allowed to meet him.

Walther waited until he could organize a riot in Perryville, Missouri, steal all of Stephan's land, gold, books, and personal possessions, and kidnap him at gunpoint to Illinois.

Walther made himself leader of the cult, attached his group to the Loehe congregations, and made Loehe the enemy when the time was right. Walther forbade anyone writing an early history of the sex cult, and LCMS loyalists have told a basket of mythological lies about Walther ever since.

Carthage, Missouri has a shrine to the Virgin Mary. Missouri has several shrines to the Great Walther. No one seems to wince at the creepiness of the St. Louis shrine.

Walther's example has promoted the idea of synod leaders being the most agile and flexible politicians. Matt the Fatt was eager to lick Otten's shoes while stabbing him in the back. Now we know that he is not lacking in clownish viciousness any more than McCain is. When close to the editor, they were unctuous and flattering. When they were gathered with their lupine friends, they bared their slavering fangs.
