They contain a faithful narrative of the Author’s experience as a devout Roman Catholic - as a Sceptic in that communion- as a Convert, convinced of the truth of Protestantism, but not renewed in heart - and finally, as a Believer in JESUS.

Whom Do We Follow? Jesus Christ Our Good Shepherd - Or CFW Walther, The Pietist Who Covered for His Bishop's Syphilis?

A Stephan descendant wrote this book. Walther talked Stephan's son out of his father's land. I photoshopped the cover because CFW Walther and his circle covered for their bishop. Walther's circle took control over the cult - nabbed from Bishop Stephan - when they suddenly "discovered" the syphilis and the STD the bishop gave to young women.

Walther and his associates were severe Pietists and began to follow Pastor Martin Stephan after their earlier mentor moved away and died. A letter from Stephan "saved CFW's life," teaching the whole world is righteous, forgiven of sin. Walther not only stole land, books, chalice, and money from Stephan, but also the bishop's Objective Faithless Justification. Stephan himself was a dedicated Pietist who attended Halle University, a Pietist citadel, the Jerusalem of all who followed Philipp Spener.

The Walther Circle must have been pretty dense, because Stephan took his son and his mistress to America, excluding his wife and his sickly children. Walther and Company agreed to make Pastor Stephan a bishop before they disembarked in New Orleans. The LCMS has continued to deny their  dogma, as taught by Spener (Pietist), Knapp (Pietist), Stephan (Pietist), and Walther's Circle (Pietist).

Note the extreme dump of malarkey in this statement, which Robert Preus cited. The LCMS and its sister-sects consider this to be far more significant than Luther and the Scriptures. Does anyone wonder why the failing three sects are racing downward, as if trying to catch up with ELCA? 

LCMS, WELS, and the ELS consider "in Christ" as their lifeline to their peculiar dogma, but Calov said it best, and Preus cited the repudiation. 

Anyone in the LCMS-WELS-ELS who disagrees with Walther is condemned as a "false teacher." Robert Preus' final book, Justification and Rome, edited by two of his sons, repudiates Objective Faithless Justification, but his children and grandchildren still do not acknowledge Justification by Faith.

Pietism always decays into Unitarian rationalism, rejecting the Trinity and almost everything else. ELCA began as a series of Pietist missions to America. Now they embrace every kind of radicalism and reject 

• the Scriptures, 
• Luther's works, and 
• common sense. 

Now the Big Five - ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) are shrinking fast from following the chimera of progress.

Universal Pietism embraces Universalism - everyone is saved and happy. That is why the Unitarians merged with the Universalists.

Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Lent 4 - Matthew 23:10 says: “For one is your master, even the Christ,” who sits in heaven, and he teaches all only through the mouth and the word of preachers by his Spirit, that is, against false teachers, who teach their own wisdom."

Complete Sermon ->Luther's Sermons - John 6:1-15.
Laetare. Fourth Sunday in Lent

 7. The very same is taught by the people sitting on the grass; for the true saints despise outward holiness, as Paul does in Philippians 3:8, in that he counted his former righteousness to be filth and even a hindrance. Only common and hungry people receive the Word of God and are nourished by it. For here you see that neither Caiaphas nor Anna, neither the Pharisees nor the Scribes follow Christ and see Christ’s Signs; but they disregard them, they are grass and feed on grass. This miracle was also performed near the festive time of the Jewish passover; for the true Easter festival, when Christ should be offered as a sacrifice, was near, when he began to feed them with the Word of God.

8. The five loaves signify the outward, natural word formed by the voice and understood by man’s senses; for the number five signifies outward things pertaining to the five senses of man by which he lives; as also the five and five virgins illustrate in Matthew 25:1. These loaves are in the basket, that is, locked up in the Scriptures. And a lad carries them, that means the servant class and the priesthood among the Jews, who possessed the sayings of God, which were placed in their charge and entrusted to them, Romans 3:2, although they did not enjoy them. But that Christ took these into his own hands, and they were thereby blessed and increased, signifies that by Christ’s works and deeds, and not by our deeds or reason, are the Scriptures explained, rightly understood and preached.

This he gives to his disciples, and the disciples to the people. For Christ takes the Word out of the Scriptures; so all teachers receive it from Christ and give it to the people, by which is confirmed what Matthew 23:10 says: “For one is your master, even the Christ,” who sits in heaven, and he teaches all only through the mouth and the word of preachers by his Spirit, that is, against false teachers, who teach their own wisdom.

A Missouri Synod Pastor Wrote To a Layman. Which Man Supports Luther, Melanchthon, and Chemnitz?

 

From the Pastor -

Dear Tom,

Your unkind accusations betray the fact that you are NOT a Christian. I have answered you with direct quotes from the Holy Bible which you persistently dismiss, again showing you are NOT a Christian but are rather a person who mocks and rejects God's Holy Word!

The entire world is forgiven IN CHRIST, since God does NOT IMPUTE THEIR TRESPASSES unto them (in Christ). Outside of Christ, that is, without God-given faith in Christ, NO human being personally receives the forgiveness of sins and salvation! That is what the BIBLE TEACHES! If you have a problem with it, take it up with the LORD who gave us His Word!

I'll continue to pray that you sincerely repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and that you surrender your thoughts to His thoughts as put forth in Holy Scripture.

God's Word says: "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:6-9)

In obedience to God's command, I now drop this discussion, for I cannot cast the pearls of God before swine.

Dear Pastor,

You must answer my question!!! Does objective justification teach that God has already justified the whole world without faith in Christ?  The answer is obvious, but you refuse to answer it because you are a deceptive and dishonest pastor.

You teach God has already justified the whole world without and prior to faith. In contrast I teach and hold to justification by faith in Christ as taught by Luther, Chemnitz, and Christ Himself. This is why you eagerly rush to mercilessly condemn me to hell as a non Christian.  You seek to destroy my faith in Christ and my baptism in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I am baptized and clothed in the righteousness of Christ in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I am Christian because God has clothed me in the righteousness of Christ in my baptism in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. In contrast you teach the whole world is in Christ and clothed in the righteousness of Christ without faith and without baptism. I am in Christ and clothed in the righteousness of Christ by my baptism in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Here in my baptism God gives me faith, makes me His child, and clothes me in the righteousness of Christ in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Gal 3:26,27

I hold to this passage.  In contrast you teach the whole world is already in Christ and clothed in the righteousness of Christ without faith in Christ and without baptism into Christ. You teach against faith in Christ and against baptism into Christ. You teach another gospel not found in the Word of God.  You have fallen from grace. You are completely unworthy of being a pastor.

"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another ; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As I said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Gal 1:6-9

Pastor, you clearly teach another gospel not found in the Word of God. God's Word teaches justification by faith in Christ. In contrast you teach that God has already justified the whole world without faith in Christ. The Word of God teaches we are in Christ and clothed in the righteousness of Christ in our baptism into Christ. In contrast you preach the whole world is already in Christ and already clothed in the righteousness of Christ without faith in Christ and without Baptism into Christ. 

Pastor, you are completely defeated. Your precious objective justification without faith in Christ lies in a faithless heap. It is time for you to admit your defeat and cease your hostilities against justification by faith in Christ, and against baptism into Christ. Repent. Stop condemning true Christians who hold to justification by faith and who cling to their baptism into Christ in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

In Christ,

Tom

The Big Five - ELCA-WELS-LCMS-ELS-CLC (sic) - Stopped Being Lutheran Now They Are Far Left Unitarian

 

The Big Five - ELCA-WELS-LCMS-ELS-CLC (sic) are so far gone that they are closer to the Unitarian sect than they are to the Reformation. In fact, they can barely say the word Reformation or show any knowledge of Luther, Melanchthon, and Chemnitz.

Before writing angry, anonymous emails to me, consider the facts. The alphabet soup of synods has grown away from the Scriptures, even the Majority or Apostolic Text. Their loathing of Luther is the direct result of loathing fraudulent men and texts, which gave them freedom to disparage the Biblical texts, especially their favorite phonies - Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. 

Notice the similarities of corruption. Bogus Bad American Bibles like to end Matthew with "making disciples." Surprise! So does the modern German Bible. 

But lo, the KJV has the correct translation of the Greek - "teach all nations." Luther's original Bible translates the ending "teach all nations."

KJV Matthew 28:19 - 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Luther Bibel 1545 28:19 Darum gehet hin und lehret alle Völker und taufet sie im Namen des Vaters und des Sohnes und des heiligen Geistes, 

Koine 1550 Stephanus -  19 πορευθεντες ουν μαθητευσατε παντα τα εθνη βαπτιζοντες αυτους εις το ονομα του πατρος και του υιου και του αγιου πνευματος

NIV Matthew 28:19 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

The clergy today know little Latin and less Greek, but they should be able to look up various translations of the New Testament. Parading "make disciples" has been a fetish of WELS and the CLC (sic), with adherents of Fuller Seminary exploding with rage against teach all nations.

Many more examples from their precious NIV, RSV, ESV, and NRSV Bibles reveal that the Big Five cannot handle the precision and sonority of the KJV, which was intended to be read from the pulpit and was accepted as the best English translation.

These clashes, since they do not agree with the best text and translation, open up many errors and excuses for apostasy, without even including the Living (ha!) and Amplified (Ja!) gassy paraphrases.

Look at how ridiculous "making disciples" is. How do they make them? Do they bake them, shake them, and forsake them? A train cannot move safely on slightly crooked tracks, but Church Growthers imagine they can power up a congregation by "making disciples who make disciples who make disciples" - a quote from one of the worst WELS professors. 

Rationalism is always a delight for false teachers, because they commit themselves to attacking all Biblical doctrine, centering on the divinity of Jesus Christ and faith in Him. That is exactly the plan for the Bogus Bad Bibles (including the Christian News Beck Bible - or Milchkuh). Hint - Beck followed the apostates with the imaginary ending of Mark, which energizes the false teachers with "no empty tomb, no resurrection." Yes, I have the Beck Bible. I have the Westcott-Hort blasphemous Greek New Testament. W-H even omitted "the Son of God" in Mark 1:1.

The late Northwestern College (WELS) faculty loathed the NIV and often said so in class. They had no courage beyond the classroom walls, and that tiny school was merged. 

The underlying, Biblical doctrine in all this is the Efficacy of the Word in the Means of Grace, opposed and missing in the Big Five - ELCA-WELS-LCMS-ELS-CLC (sic). 

Calvinists loathe the efficacy of the Word because of the Zwingli-Calvin influence, plus a big dose of secular philosophy. The Baptists and especially the Baptists are going mainline rapidly. So where do the Lutherans of all stripes go? Yes, to the last excuse for Calvinism - Fuller Seminary, so weak that they watered down inerrancy from the start. The later rumble was only a case of rejecting inerrancy loud and proud.

 The Holy Spirit will convict the world "Of sin, because they believe not on Me;"

Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Lent 4 - "That Christ by the miraculous feeding of the five thousand has encouraged us to partake of a spiritual food, and taught that we should seek and expect from him nourishment for the soul, is clearly proved by the whole sixth chapter of John, in which he calls himself the bread from heaven and the true food..."

Laetare. Fourth Sunday in Lent

I. THE ALLEGORICAL INTERPRETATION.

5. That Christ by the miraculous feeding of the five thousand has encouraged us to partake of a spiritual food, and taught that we should seek and expect from him nourishment for the soul, is clearly proved by the whole sixth chapter of John, in which he calls himself the bread from heaven and the true food, and says: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you.” John 6:26-27. In harmony with these words we will, explain also this evangelical history in its spiritual meaning and significance.

6. First, there was much hay or grass in the place. The Evangelist could not fail to mention that, although it appears to be unnecessary; however it signifies the Jewish people, who flourished and blossomed like the grass through their outward holiness, wisdom, honor, riches etc., as Isaiah 40:6-7, says: “All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass.” From the Jewish people the Word of God went forth and the true food was given to us; for salvation is of the Jews, John 4:22. Now, as grass is not food for man, but for cattle; so is all the holiness of the outward Jewish righteousness nothing but food for animals, for fleshly hearts, who know and possess nothing of the Spirit.

The Sermon Hymn #179   On My Heart  

         

The Savior Teaches Us Faith

    We often speak about faith in Jesus Christ, and it is important to take His Word as the guide for faith in Him. One thing lacking comes from clinging to various studies, ideas, books, series of books, films, and lectures, sometimes even using the Scriptures. Lacking is taking His teaching seriously, for its entire meaning, not just a phrase or a slogan. As Dr. Nils A. Dahl said at Yale, "The text! The text! The only thing we know for sure is the text!" Everything else is speculation. If every seminarian and seminary teacher took this Dahl teaching to heart, there would be harmony and surges of faith in Him.

    People feel uncomfortable about describing Jesus because so-called leaders have planted doubt in their minds, inventing contradictions that never existed, problems expressed in dissertations, "movements" picking up one notion or another. 

    Set that aside, unless you want to be buried in pile of books, as I was when my shelves came down around me. 

    If the Biblical text is about Jesus, that is the truth. Every Word spoken by Him is the truth. More than the truth, His Word is effective and works on us, whether it strengthens our faith or hardens us against that Word.

    Why do the book-makers shy away from John's Gospel? Jesus explains His work and His power in the plainest possible words. There are so many tricks used to make Jesus only a human or somewhat a god. But He says repeatedly - I AM - which is the Name of God. When He said that to the Pharisees, they were furious. But they could not reject His miracles from all over, from all types of events. The ultimate proof of His divinity - He raised the dead. That took place in the Scriptures 3 times, climaxing in the Palm Sunday entry. A woman in another congregation said, "Where do you get all this? I've been in church for decades!" I said - "The Gospel of John. Lazarus was targeted because he came along, so Jesus' raising Lazarus was not a rumor, but a fact.

    I could say, John's Gospel fills in the gaps about what could trouble us. But those "gaps" from Matthew-Mark-Luke are addressed and fill us with awe and faith in the Savior. Silly people say that angels rolled the stone away, but the Lord of Creation did not need angels to move the stone. He might have moved it Himself, because He quieted the storm, walked on water, and multiplied the food beyond anyone's imagination. The flattened stone showed people that Jesus Himself rose from the dead.

    We all need these stories and sermons from the Son of God, because they shape our thinking and expand our view of the Son of God. People cripple their own emotions and thinking by disregarding what is revealed by the Holy Spirit, Who teaches us the truth about God the Father and God the Son.

    Jesus teaches us that when we are troubled or in anguish, He is listening and will answer in His time and in His way. I have said many times before, I have witnessed people recovering from the healing of the Savior, beyond all hope, truly miraculous. Doubtless believers receive many special blessings from God, without always knowing it. But other times, they can say, "That was a miracle!" The Canaanite woman never faltered, even when the disciples said, "Send her away and give us some peace!" (Lenski)

    The Gospels show us many examples of the disciples errors and weaknesses, so we can understand that we too fall into those mistakes but know the Good Shepherd does not crush us but helps us in every possible way.

One More Step in Broadcasting for Church And Our Reformation Seminary

 

The Best Buy expert stopped by to see if I wanted anymore help. He had a slot to fill and was nearby, so he came in and showed me the sound issue which had perplexed and vexed me. Various people encouraged me to solve the broadcasting issue, one with a very good idea about uploading to YouTube first and then linking that to the blog. That solves some issues.

So I tried YouTube and it began uploading the Lent III service: 80 minutes to upload!

The longer you live, the more loss you may have to process.  For me -

Closed:          Childhood home congregation - Christ Memorial, Milwaukee
Closed:          High School - Concordia Prep, Milwaukee
Moved:           Junior College - Concordia Milwaukee - to Mequon
Closed:          Senior College - Concordia Senior College, Ft. Wayne
Closed:          First Congregation Served, Zion Lutheran, St. Louis
Closed:          Office as District President, Concordia Bronxville
Closed:          Member and Chair, Board of Regents, Concordia Bronxville

So it goes.  Valpo is not closed.  However, it's different, even way different.  Bronxville is different for me from those who were students, but maybe not for those who were professors, because I was there for a quarter century on campus, taught classes and understood the internal workings of the college with its partner on the national level, including presidential selection.  I was involved in a ton of tussles through the years to bring stability and growth.  I have a point of view on why it closed that's based on those interactions.  So it's pain, but a different kind of pain.  Because I believe Bronxville didn't have to close.

Ann Arbor, to me, is the opposite case.  They're open and fighting to stay open.  There's evidence to suggest they can and should remain open.  And there's evidence to suggest they're engaged to do so.  The announcement by the Regents that the 4 year strategic plan would be the path forward, which includes two campuses, coupled with the announcement of the inclusion of the potential option for de-coupling, let's anyone know that C-AA is not preparing to close or be closed.

A note from LutherQueasy:

The Valpo announcement includes a list of 28 programs that are being considered for discontinuation. This would, of course, involve reductions in faculty and staff.

Smiles - From a Little Girl And A Postal Worker

 

Charlie Sue is the leader for four areas:

1. Our backyard for digging, chasing animals, coaching her dog friends in races.
2. Doggie Daycare for visitors coming and going to the northside fence.
3. The trampoline inside the southside fence, guarded by Porchie and Dustmop, her boyfriends.
4. The pug on the northside and canine visitors along the grass alley.

My Ball :)

I bought an overpriced ball for Charlie but she was openly disgusted with it. Noise came out of it, and it was too hard  and big for her to handle. I wanted to give it to Porchie and Dustmop, but only if an older person knew. The time came and I rolled the burping ball into their yard. 

Later that day, one of the little ones on the trampoline were jumping up and down on the trampoline. A little girl with lots of curly hair held onto the ball, grinned, and said, "My ball."

Postal Smile

 The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941

I needed to go to the post office to send off a box to Canada. The paperwork is equal to the IRS, without the refund. I waited in line for my paperwork, filled it out, and went to a second line. The postal worker was new to me but clearly a veteran. I waited while he filled out everything quickly. He inhaled sharply when the cost came up. I said, "Two of the books are hard to find in good shape and triple this price."

He was intrigued. "How did you get those books?" He smiled at the thought of sending them away.

I said, "They are hymnals. I got them from my house because I am a pastor."

He went from a small grin to a big one, "That is wonderful. That really makes my day. I am so glad we got to talk."

 Porchi goes eye to eye with me for hugs and finger combing his beautiful fur; Dustmop gently attacks my fingers, jumping up if I reach over.
