The Scriptures - Her Version |
ELCA is the prime example, with their sadistic mockery of -
- The Scriptures,
- The Luther-Melanchthon-Chemnitz Reformation.
However, 99% of the rest are simply trying to catch up - LCMS, WELS, ELS, CLC (sic), ELDONA.
Christian News, Inc has grabbed a fortune through selling the Bogus Beck Bible, a massive deception for the few subscribers left. The goal of the 1881 Revision of the KJV was to eliminate faith in Jesus Christ by removing His divinity and the concept of faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Questioning or eliminating Mark 16:9-20 is the escape hatch for apostates, and Beck was eager to question the ending of Mark - no empty tomb, no resurrection. "Scholars are divided." The modern paraphrases (dubiously described as translations) follow the same distorted readings of the utterly fake Codex Vaticanus and the Pope's favorite Codex Vaticanus. One dirty hand washes the other, so the self-described text scholars use a few fake or heretical manuscripts to overshadow, erasing the 5,000 readings comprising the Apostolic text, used by Luther and the KJV.
KJV Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
Lutheran managers have given themselves permission to ape as many errors of the heretics as possible, cursing anyone who would quote the majestic and precise King James Bible.
Seminary Failures - No Faith in the Savior
Synods teach themselves, except ELCA where they cannot figure out who their fathers are. The synod cry and look for their real fathers, which are either in Rome or Pasadena.
The Synodical Conference managers (LCMS-WELS-ELS) strut about how great their forefathers were and endlessly drool over the sanctity of CFW Walther, BA. The joke is on their members, who listen to the stories of synod saintliness and their own DNA kin. But they ignore the fact that they began with Justification by Faith and ended with the dogma of Martin Stephan, STD.
One can easily argue that LCMS and WELS had good, Justification by Faith catechisms, such as Schwan (not the ice cream Schwan) and Glausewitz. The ELS, if I recall right, wanted Objective Justification only - no matter, they are the canary in coal mine. The LCMS-WELS attempt at catechisms is profoundly obnoxious and deliberately toxic.
No matter how papal they get, the gigantic leap of seminary tomfoolery is their rejection of faith in Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd, the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, miracle worker and Teacher, the Lord of Creation walking on water, crucified and risen from the dead, ascending to Heaven to guide the invisible Christian Church.
They laugh at the traditional KJV in favor of a zillion, ignorant transmutations.
They cannot mock the text of the Bible and claim the results are the true Word of God, preserved forever.
The seminaries are the bastard children of Fuller Seminary, Trinity Divinity, and furtive papal wannabees - eight of them schooled by the Jesuits (fast, easy cheap PhDs). No one admits to the basic doctrinal structure borrowed from Fuller and the Hail Mary style of developing Roman worship for Lutherans.
They love incense but are never incensed by the corruption and decline of Biblical doctrine, best articulated by Luther-Melanchthon-Chemnitz but energized today by their Father Below.
WELS warned their members against the snip-and-clip new "translations," but the District Presidents (minus one) endorsed the New NIV, which is even worse than the original botch.
