Woe

aka Eschatologuy

If you are in Christ, then your sins are forgiven. Yes, Christ paid the price for all sins on the Cross, but it is only those who are in Christ — those who have faith — who benefit from this forgiveness. And this forgiveness is total, God promises not only to forgive, but says that He will forget our sins — a total erasure.

‘As far as the east is from the west,
    so far does He remove our transgressions from us.’

As Christians, we are called to turn and show the same forgiveness and mercy to our brothers and sisters that God has shown to us in Christ. Forgiveness is part of the Christian life with regard to the Christian’s relationship to God and also with regard to the Christian’s relationships with others. The Law accuses us — it reveals our sins —, but we are not called to despair, but to repent and rejoice. God has already forgiven all of your sins; in the words of Christ:

“It is finished.”

In this episode, we go through the timeline of what has transpired since the LCMS — largely at the behest of Matthew Harrison — published the so-called “Annotated Large Catechism”. The behavior of Synod has been anything but Christian, and wicked deeds should be exposed to the light of day. Satan is on the move, and far too many men in collars are far too willing to do his bidding.

Show Notes

“The New Large Catechism of the LC-MS stream”
“The Apostasy of Missouri”
- Article includes ‘complaint’ letter from Ben Meyer, Daniel Ross, and Erik Johnson, video of interaction with police, and video of Maanum’s (first) announcement.
“The Book of Concord Will Endure”
Lutherans for Racial Justice [archive link]
- Bios for Matthew Gonzalez and Joshua Salzberg [archive link]
“He Believes Hitler Went to Heaven — and Wants to Take Over the Lutheran Church” [archive link]

The entire LCMS leadership is apostate or derelict — they must all be removed and forever barred.

No exceptions.

These interlopers and subverters will be removed. These 'men' have no claim to the historical Lutheran church, and they have no connection to the men who came before them.

As for me and many others, we will continue attending opa's church. https://t.co/mB7f8XueRd pic.twitter.com/Z068kD26Db

Parental Warnings

This episode will probably not interest children, and some sensitive topics (including pedophilia and rape) are briefly discussed throughout.

Errata

At one point, I (Mahler) state that I handed the AALC a hard drive with information pertaining to Jordan Cooper, but I misspoke, because what I handed them was, in fact, a flash drive.

All Sins Are Not Equal

You have undoubtedly heard the phrase ‘all sins are equal’ at some point in your life, but you have just as assuredly not found it in Scripture — it is not there. The Word of God does not teach that all sins are equal; in fact, it teaches quite the opposite: some sins are worse than others.

In this episode, we go through Scripture highlighting a number of sections that deal with degrees of sin or sinfulness. This episode serves both as a standalone episode on the topic of the supposed ‘equality of sins’ and as a foundation for next week’s episode which will cover Antinomianism.

Some subjects are more important than others. No amount of discussing the best color to paint a room is likely to endanger the souls of anyone participating in the discussion or just listening to it, but the same cannot be said of discussion of doctrine and theology.

When we handle the things of God, we are duty bound to be careful, to be clear, and to be true. Needless wrangling over terms and technicalities seldom benefits and often harms.

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

However, as Christians, we do have a duty to speak of God and His truth. In almost all cases, simple is best. Speak the truth, in season and out. And, of course, know when to hold your tongue.

Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.
