The Creation Garden Is Coming Alive

Clethra, pictured here, is a late bloomer with Joe Pye. The scents and flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Clethra is especially slow in growing, so I mark it with bamboo and put collars around the new sprouts.

We are entering the next phase of the Creation Garden. The roses are budding. Joe Pye is rising from the dried out canes of last year's crop. I leave that alone because the hollow tubes are good for beneficial insects.

Bee Balm is expanding, and last year's newbie plants are coming up stronger - Calla Lilies - for instance. 

New Clethra, after building up strength all winter, is barely there but producing tiny buds. I have to mark it with tall bamboo sticks, to protect them from mowing, week whacking, and predators. I also use collars to keep bunnies and squirrels away.

Last year's mature Hostas moved to the backyard and burst into full size in weeks. Hostas make people happy, because they come in many colors and attract hummingbirds.

I bought a few blue Hostas, Halcyon and Blue Mouse Ears. Another is some kind of whale.

The lilies are from Lowe's, in full bloom. Previous lilies actually popped up this year. 

So far the cold days alternating with warm days have kept the bugs down. Sassy guards the yard while I pull weeds or plant some new items. One German Shepherd walked down the street and was shocked into a trot and glances back from Sassy's warning barks.

Dear Pastor Jackson,

Please publish this open letter to all Lutheran pastors and laymen:

1. What do you personally believe about the Bible?

a. Do you believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God?

b. Do you believe the Textus Receptus (Greek apostolic text) and the Masoretic text (Hebrew text) are the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God?

c. Do you believe the Nestle-Aland (Fraudulent Greek Text) fraudulently changes, deletes, and distorts the true inspired Word of God?

d. Do you believe the Nestle-Aland text fraudulently omits and brackets Mark 16:9-20 to deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead? (See page 204 of The King James Version: Apostolic Texts, Precise Translation versus Fraudulent Texts and Heretical Translations by Gregory Jackson PhD.

e. Do you believe the Nestle-Aland text fraudulently omits and brackets "the Son of God" in Mark 1:1 to deny Jesus is true God begotten of His Father from all eternity? (See pg. 24 of The King James Version by Gregory Jackson, PhD also see pg 58 of 8,000 Differences by Dr. J. A. Moorman)

F. Do you believe the 2011 New International Version fraudulently adds "all" to Romans 3:24 to teach justification without faith in Christ? 

2011 NIV "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified..." Romans 3:23,24 (See pg  169 of The King James Version by Gregory Jackson, PhD.)

G. Do you believe the Revised Standard Version fraudulently translated Isaiah 7:14 to say "young woman" to deny the virgin birth of Christ? (See pg. 6 of The King James Version by Gregory Jackson, PhD.)

2. How does God justify you?

a. Do you believe you are justified by faith in Jesus Christ alone? (See pg. 41 of The Path to Understanding Justification by Gregory Jackson).

b. Do you understand that Objective Justification teaches justification without faith in Christ alone? (See pg. 70 of The Path to Understanding Justification by Gregory Jackson, PhD.)

C. Do you understand that subjective justification adds man's decision or works to justification? (See pg. 70 of The Path to Understanding Justification by Gregory Jackson, PhD.)

D. Do you acknowledge that LCMS and WELS older KJV catechisms correctly taught justification by faith in Jesus Christ alone? (See pgs. 73, 74 of The Path to Understanding Justification by Gregory Jackson, PhD.)

3. In this age of apostasy, every confessional Lutheran pastor and laymen needs to arm himself with the following books:

a. King James Bible

b. Luther's Small Catechisms that use the King James Version. (See Lutheranlibrary.org for 1905 Schwan and Dietrich KJV catechisms.

C. The King James Version: Apostolic Texts, Precise Translation verses Fraudulent Texts and Heretical Translations by Gregory Jackson ISBN 9798429093451 (Free to save and share PDF)

D. The Path to Understanding Justification by Gregory Jackson, PhD ISBN 9781072530428

Please sign my name to this letter. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as is written, The just shall live by faith alone. (Luther's Bible)

 If you use a Wee Three - NIV, ESV, or RSV - Bible, you are giving money to the snip and clip publishers who remove the verses they do not like and mock the KJV for its apostolic authority and precise translation. The rest of the modern Bibles are junk, too, but the Wee Three translations lead the ones named above. The KJV beats the entire pack of ravening wolves together, from the Wee Three on down to Brug's Burp.

WELS/LCMS/ELCA Pastor Mark Jeske To Retire

Jeske makes more on the Thrivent board part-time than most pastors make full-time. Follow the Benjies.

 Will Pastor Mike be moved up to fill the Jeske shoes?
