The Beast Surfaces (a timeline of central power in the LCMS) by Jeffrey A. Young, Ph.D. Chart & Interpretation received, 4/4/24 LCR pastoral conference.
Introduction to the Beast Surfaces Parts I, II, and III.
This history chronicles the events that illustrate the rise of coercive central power in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). Today the central power of the LCMS defends itself as a money-making enterprise, allows some within LCMS to believe that it is a divine ordinance, and wields her bylaws as a sword of the flesh. A similar masquerade is depicted in Revelations 17 under the name “beast,” but such a beast is not unique to the LCMS. A similar beast is commonly present in many large denominations, e.g. the treasury of the Vatican which feeds the power and primacy of the pope and wields canon law as a sword of the flesh....
CFW Walther signed the document making the syphilitic Martin Stephan the bishop. Walther staged a riot to gain Stephan's episcopacy, gold, property, books, and clothes. Walther anointed himself as Pope and took over the seminary, the sect, publishing, and doctrine. He changed the rules to make F. Pieper (Wisconsin Sect) the seminary president and later synod president.
Walther only had a bachelor's degree and Latin. His knowledge of Biblical languages was scant.
To this day, Walther's idiocies about Objective Faithless Justification are uttered as sacred, derived from Pietism, Rationalism, and legalism.
