The Waltherian Four - LCMS, WELS, ELS, CLC (sic) - got away with their circus act for almost 200 years. When Bishop Martin Stephan stepped off the ship in New Orleans and CFW followed behind him - as the future pope declare - "all Creation is again under the bright rays of mercy, as in the beginning; yea, in Christ we were justified before we were even born."

| This nonsense really began at Halle University through Knapp and others, but it spread - like Bishop Stephan's syphilis - in America. The poor, pathetic popes of the Waltherian Four continue to use Knapp and Preuss to inspire their equally confused members. When Matt Harrison raised his sanctified and sanctifying chubby hands to bless the 40th anniversary of the Purple Palace, he uttered his favorite snip and clip OJ passage from Romans 4, to wit - NIV Romans 4: 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. And all God's people said, "What? Your Serene Highness - Why not honestly recite the verses?!" KJV Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. |
The Waltherian Four leadership is incompetent and yet they strive to keep their boats from sinking even faster, adding masking tape here and there. Let us close with a quotation from the back cover of Herman Otten's book about Dr. Walther Maier (PhD Harvard).

| Hermon Otten fiddled while Missouri burned, but at least he quoted Walter Maier on the Chief Article of the Christian Faith - Justification by Faith. |
