I enjoy chasing down the facts from synodical headquarters and seminary libraries. I have published plenty; Christina was a major force in exposing verbatim facts and sources. Others have contributed but I dasn't name them.
Two things are quite important -
- The Big Five - LCMS-ELS-ELCA-WELS-CLC (sic) - do not cherish the truth.
- The ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS have deluxe headquarters, but seldom used libraries.
If they had chosen students as their endowments instead of robbing the givers for spanking new mausoleums, the crisis would not be looming upon them. Read a little history and you will see that the synods have been letting their students borrow huge sums of money - which became enormous burdens on students, especially those who dropped out along the way.
Long ago, Augustana College and Seminary let one student swap a truck full of potatoes for tuition. I took Greek in my freshman year of college, but now some schools ask $3,000 for "summer Greek," cash up front. Summer Greek students at St. Louis get to splash in the fountain upon finishing.
However, the real treasure is Biblical doctrine, which is mocked in every single one of the Big Five - LCMS-ELS-ELCA-WELS-CLC (sic).
Luther-Melanchthon-Chemnitz led the Reformation through scholarship and preaching the Gospel. Matt the Fatt is still parroting Objective Justification's magical hocus pocus - Romans 4:25, but not Romans 4, or even Romans 4:24-25, to wit -
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. OJ! Yay Matt!
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. - Yes - Justification by Faith.
If the Big Five leaders are not "apt to teach," they must step down and stop wasting everyone's money to make themselves look good.
