How the Preus Crime Family Weakened the Missouri Synod - From the NonQuest of Luther

 

The barefoot Preus Brothers - the Log Cabin Years.

Someone from LutherQuest posted that Jack Preus seriously damaged the LCMS by allowing Seminex graduates to come back to Holy Mother Missouri by colloquizing. The District Presidents followed up by asking the apostate candidates non-questions, welcoming the lads, and killing the fatted calf.

Other Seminex graduates became ALC/LCA pastors and rose to become district presidents aka bishops in ELCA. 

In reality, Jack and Robert Preus dealt Missouri a mortal blow by making Objective Justification the devil's mouth to kiss (Satanic ritual, you do not want to know what it means). They did this with great confidence and daring, yet ending their careers with movement toward the truth without any contrition or confession.

 David Scaer, who failed his doctoral program in Germany, considers the Maier family a bad influence on the Missouri Synod. Consider the keystone and the cornerstone in Protestantism, according to Dr. Maier.

They focused their scorn on Dr. Walter A. Maier II, often called WAM II. He was the son of Dr. Walter A. Maier, Harvard PhD in Semitics. His father created a radio ministry and preached sermons that are just as good now as they were almost a century ago.

The Preus Brothers used a clever tactic that relied on the adoration of CFW Walther, BA, who was Bishop Stephan's pimp and prosecutor. Walther followed Stephan like a puppy until he found the opportunity to form a riot. Walther and the mob:

1. threatened Stephan with death, 
2. kidnaped him at gunpoint, and 
3. stole his land, gold, books, and personal possessions.

But Stephan taught Walther and his Pietistic circle the beauty of Objective Justification - "everyone in the world has already been absolved of sin by the resurrection of Christ." So Walther and his fellow assassins almost killed their bishop, had him judged by a real estate agent (!) and yet adopted his blasphemous dogma.

Valleskey became president of Mordor by studying at Fuller and teaching Objective Justification.

 There is no faith in Walther's bombastic dogmatics. There is the absolution of the entire world (without faith) and acceptance of this declaration. The LutherQueasies, Missouri Synod, WELS, ELS, CLC (sic), and ELCA all agree.

Although the Objective Justification Stormtroopers control the LCMS now, they cannot erase the long history of Holy Mother Missouri officially teaching Justification by Faith:

• The Schwan Catechism
• The KJV Catechism
• The Gausewitz Catechism.
• The German Luther set

Note this - the Preus Crime Family (including David Scaer) never said, "WAM II loves Justification by Faith and we reject it!" They built up their animosity and treated WAM II like he was dirt under their fingernails, making OJ appear to be the purest Scriptural standard. What would Luther say?

No, Maier opponents said, "WAM II is a false teacher for rejecting Missouri's stance on Justification."

Late in life, Jack Preus finished his biography of Martin Chemnitz, a theologian the LCMS/WELS just happened to ignore until very recently. Robert Preus' book on Justification and Rome had so many anti-OJ quotes in it from orthodox Lutherans that Rolf One-Note Preus (his son) stopped citing the book. 

Twas Jungkuntz, the former WELS professor at Northwestern College in Watertown who promoted Objective Justification and became chair of the lavender Seminex portable seminary. Why would Jack Preus and his DPs object to Seminex grads coming back to Holy Mother Missouri?

Let us not forget how the conflict created by the Preus Crime Family also lined the coffers of Otten's Christian News with gold. His non-profit foundation had $1 million in it at one point. Otten curried the favor of both sides, as he did with Church Growth and Catholicism, but he always stood by Objective Justification, saying his wife Grace was the theologian of the family.
