This is the link below - which leads to the entire sermon.
One WELS pastor named his blog - The Main Thing Is the Main Thing.
I thought the title was excellent, because it expressed the hippy-dippy advertising loved, promoted, and exhausted by the maggots of Fuller Seminary, Willow Creek, Jeske Incorporated, and other pest-houses.
The effective Word of God is not all about the personality of the pastor, the purity of his inbred DNA, and his sure and certain hope of everlasting synodical titles.
I realize very little will be noted here, because the American clergy have foolishly straight-armed the truth of the Bible in favor of slimy slickness of fads.
Charlie Sue was expecting her main meal, and her main meal is the main meal, whenever needed.
The Word of God is the Foundation Wrecked by Man
Old Testament, Pristine Text, False Translators
Note the disparity in the two great texts - the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament remains the Hebrew text, 100%, because the Jewish scholars have preserved the text even to the point of destroying any book that has even one error, down to counting the total numbers of letters and words in any given book.
Translators, drunk on their Princeton and the Big Five Apostates - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic), plus many more, turn the precision of the Old Testament into the laughter of their Father Below.
New Testament Greek -
Abused by the Really Cool
The New Testament Greek text is the plaything of anyone with a degree, an attitude, and a lust to oppose "My Word will last forever." Their revelations come from rejection of the Trinity, the Virgin Birth of Christ, the actual resurrection of Jesus Christ, and His Assumption. They have the traditional text - called the Byzantine - and they know the ancient confession of its truths, but they must rule over their academic seminars, conferences, and little-read "scholarly" wingdings.
The King James Version does not deny the resurrection of Jesus in Mark 16:9-20, nor does it omit "the Son of God" in Mark 1:1 - beloved by Westcott and Hort, adored by all.
I gathered the basics for a book about the King James Version. The Otten-Beck New Testament is packed with such nonsense (see above) and treated as the Holy Grail for Waltherian addicts. As they said about a backed-up sewer, "I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad!"
What They Are Now Teaching -
The Brain-Dead Kids in Seminary
Think about this, before writing an angry letter to Christian News (if they are still printing). The seminaries do not teach Jesus Christ the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, risen from the dead and assumed into Heaven. They do not have faith in Him so they do not teach faith.
They teach how to start new churches because the denominations are sinking fast from their lack of faith.
They emphasize personality because everyone wants to have happy-clappy-chappy congregations that fund the endless numbers of overpaid denominational staff, who also take whatever loot they can get from Thrivent. I went to two different seminary graduations. Both "gave away" cheap little portable home communion hardware sets (but no KJV).
They avoid touchy topics because of their ignorance and their need to make people calm and sedated.
They can provide worship for anyone via a computer, but they do not care to pay the small Zoom fee and its minor complications.
Proving how Roman Catholic the twin Missouri seminaries are, they lust for all the trivia, fish-hats, shepherd's crooks, and genuflections possible.
