The Lutheran Church No Longer Exists in North America.
Jump on Rome's Bandwagon - Charon's Ferryboat

 

I was thinking about how many Lutheran clergy have swooned and 

  1. Joined the Church of Rome as priests
  2. Tried their best or worst to copy the sacrilege of the Mass
  3. Spent their money on robes, hats, and vaping incense
  4. Disparaged the Biblical teaching of Luther while calling themselves orthodox and confessional
  5. Venerated the Virgin Mother rather than the Son, mocked the Bible while assuming papal inerrancy.
The quickly fading Lutheran Forum letter wiped its dirty footprints on my mailbox this week. Inside was an article about the former editor of the little newsletter, Leonard R. Klein, who became a Catholic priest under the watchful eye of Father Richard J. Neuhaus (LCMS, AELC, ELCA, Rome).

Neuhaus was guided into Rome by Avery Dulles, SJ, though it started at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Dulles was famous for his converts and Neuhaus joined the proselyte glee club.

We liked James Crumley, who was secretary to the LCA, then Synod President, then Bishop. Unfortunately, he pushed the boundaries by lining up with the Vatican.

Christina and I met Leonard Klein and his wife at Ad Fontes, where we also spoke with Neuhaus and LCA President James Crumley. The title of the conference was no doubt aimed at the Roman trend in the LCA. Crumley supported playing footsie with the Pope while being disturbed at losing Neuhaus, who became a priest soon after the event. Klein also became a priest and he was allowed to stay married (dabbing my eyes) to Christa, PhD.

I find it disturbing that a Lutheran newsletter would promote an ex-Lutheran Roman Catholic priest's book of sermons, lavishing praise on Klein as a priest and as an ideal preacher. 

The Hypocritical Trend
The cool Lutheran pastors (LCMS-ELCA-ELS-ELDONA) do everything they can to copy Romanism, which is clearly against the Book of Concord, yet they call themselves "confessional Lutherans." That entire group of apostates joins WELS in repudiating the Chief Article, Justification by Faith, and the tradition Bible known for its precision and accuracy - the King James Version.

I doubt ELDONA's sincerity in previously switching to Justification by Faith when they have started to split already from Heiser's long-felt addiction to Rome.
