Dear Pastor Jackson,
I can honestly state that I have energetically implored LCMS professors, Presidents, pastors, and laymen to turn back to God's pure INCORRUPTIBLE Word in the King James Bible and cling to justification by faith in Christ instead of objective subjective justification false doctrine. They responded with nothing but mockery, hate, and threats for the past 45 years. Everyone should be shocked at their persistent hatred of God's INCORRUPTIBLE Word in the King James Bible and their hatred of the doctrine of justification by faith in Christ without our works. The blindness and hardness of heart among LCMS professors, pastors, and laymen is heartbreaking. How can God's Kingdom come in the face of such ingrained and hardened apostasy? Are Lutheran's without hope? What shall we do? Perhaps we need to earnestly pray the first and second petitions of the Lord's Prayer remembering that no one can come to Christ in true faith without being drawn by God the Father.
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:43-44
How could LCMS fall so far from grace and stubbornly embrace such horrible apostasy? LCMS was so much stronger and vibrant with the preaching of Walter A Maier on the Lutheran Hour! Was it his winning personality that drew multitudes to listen to his preaching with rapt attention? Perhaps it was Walter A Maier preaching the pure INCORRUPTIBLE efficacious Word of God in the King James Bible! Perhaps it was Walter A Maier faithfully preaching justification by faith in Jesus Christ without our own works!
Pastor Gregory L. Jackson, PhD, quoted Walter A. Maier on page 47 of his book titled: The King James Version: Apostolic Texts, Precise Translation versus Fraudulent Texts and Heretical Translations:
"Justification by faith in Christ together with its twin truth, the inerrancy of Holy Scripture, are the keystone and cornerstone of Protestantism. Neglect one or both and the whole structure will fall into ruin."
LCMS has sealed her ruin by clinging to the fraudulent and heretical Greek Vaticanus and Sinaticus, the corrupt Greek Nestle-Aland text, ESV, NIV, RSV, NASB, and NKJ. They have completely rejected the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. I can hear them chanting: "No text contains the same Words God inspired the prophets and apostles to write. All Greek texts and all translations contain some errors and omissions. The original autographs are gone forever, therefore God's PURE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD is gone forever." They completely ignore Psalm 12:6-7.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Psalm 12:6-7
LCMS completely fell from grace by officially accepting the false teaching of objective subjective justification in the 1932 Brief Statement. Here LCMS officially rejected justification by faith in Christ without our works. This is heartbreaking because it undermines, CONFUSES, and destroys the true faith of millions of Lutheran's. What shall we do? Perhaps we need to pray the Lord's prayer in true faith earnestly begging God to grant that His name may be Holy among us and that His Kingdom would come to us and also to the whole world.
Luther explains the meaning of the second petition in his Small Catechism:
"Thy Kingdom come.
What does this mean? Answer:
The kingdom of God comes indeed without our prayer, of itself; but we pray in this petition that it may come to us also.
How is this done? Answer:
When our heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His Holy Word and lead a godly life, here in time and hereafter in eternity." (Luther's Small Catechism pamphlet, CPH, pgs. 8,9)
God has given us His Holy Word in our King James Bible. In our Baptism God has clothed us in the righteousness of Christ, giving us the gift of the Holy Ghost ' so that by His grace we believe His Holy Word and lead a godly life, here in time and hereafter in eternity.'
Fathers and mother's, kneel down with your little children every night, praying the Lord's Prayer with them. Teach them that God their heavenly Father hears their prayers and gives them special angels to watch over them. I can still remember my mother praying the Lord's Prayer with my brother and I. Then she would rumple our hair and tell us to go to sleep, but we would ask her questions about God to keep her with us.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Peter 3:12
Hold to the firm and simple faith God gave you as a little child!
18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
God urges us to pray to Him in true faith, believing He will give us more than we can ask or think.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:9-13
In Christ,
