"I don't understand. We had SMART goals - Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-bound." |
I can understand why the Lutheran synods degenerated so fast. Not one is faithful to the Biblical text in Hebrew and Greek. They have been dumbing down their schools so long that few know or appreciate the Biblical languages, text criticism, and doctrine.
The video below, best watched with captions on, explains why your NIV-ESV-Surfer Dude Bible is watered down and twisted. The Sufer Dude Translation is trademarked with the N. Gulf & Dee Vour Publishing Company. They were half-way done when I wrote and told them, "Dudes! The NIV stole a march on you. They already have all the deletions and distortions in print."
I could not watch the whole video because it made me so angry. Now we have vast numbers of clergy who have no idea how to look at NT Greek and use that skill for their work.
The text issues are not difficult to study, because the Three Frauds - Tischendorf, Wescott, Hort - are so obvious in their bumbling deceits.
An ongoing effort to remove and distort the language of the Bible is promoted and funded by your sects, which are no longer safe. You are funding them too. Yes, you are. Every time you buy an NiV, ESV, Beck, etc - you are funding the next, even worse edition.
The job of eliminating the efficacy of the Word is done, so the Lutheran sects turned to management methods, SMART goals, Church Growth fueled by Objective Justification.
Worse yet, your DP (like Kudu Don Patterson) could be a Life Coach, a combination of all the errors above.
Can you imagine the Apostle Peter as a life coach? "I will be glad to work with you, but you have give me $100 a month. You may graduate some day as a Life Coach yourself!"
I met a Life Coach. How did I know that was his game? He gave me his card at this gathering and spent the evening looking at people the way Bill Clinton looks at a box of donuts.
