| "Take Seminex tonight and sleep, safe and restful, sleep...sleep...sleep." More information below. |
The institution is not the Gospel - that is the sole reason for the massive decline in denominations and the exponential increase in evil. The Lutheran synods have replaced teaching the Gospel - and faith in Jesus - with teaching their own individual institution.
As a result, while everyone was asleep, the Seminex leadership took back control and now reigns supreme. Seminex was born in the Wisconsin Synod at Northwestern College in Watertown. When they had NWC reunions at Watertown, many bumpers proudly displayed their Seminex stickers. As one observer (name withheld) told me, "NWC is really the origin of Seminex."
NWC professor Richard Jungkuntz (with a real PhD) taught Objective Justification and the rationalistic Historical-Critical Method, both springing from Halle University Pietism. No one had problems with OJ anymore, but HCM raised hackles and Jungkuntz found himself ousted from NWC, as pal Ralph Gehrke had been before him.
Jungkuntz went on from NWC to teach at Concordia Seminary, Springfield, next to run the doctrinal board (!) for the LCMS, and then to chair the gay Seminex board. Seldom mentioned - except here - Seminex became the official seminary of the Metropolitan Community Church, the first all-gay denomination.
Going back to Olde Missouri and Olde WELS, these positions were clearly taught:
- Justification by Faith
- The value of the KJV over those peculiar new translations. The KJV was often mentioned as being like vanilla ice cream, out-selling all other flavors put together.
- Identical liturgies and real hymns, sung from the same book.
And Now?
- The Chief Article has been given the Left Foot of Fellowship
- The Lutherans love their anti-traditional text, dummy English paraphrases, the worse the better for sales.
- The liturgy is whatever they invent Saturday Night during their favorite TV show.
- Songs have replaced hymns.
- Universalism is expressed in every possible way.
