•••Well, I *AM* Bald... Hey, whatdya know?!? Turns out according to this incredibly precise survey that I am Professor X. You are Professor X! You are Professor X! You are a very effective teacher, and you are very committed to those who learn from you. You put your all into everything you do, to some extent because you fear failure more than anything else. You are always seeking self-improvement, even in areas where there is nothing you can do to improve. Anyone surprised?   11:05:07 PM   googleit 148

•••Robert's Rules of Order trump Bible in LCMS Controversy I am also deeply shocked, as I am sure others will be, that the Panel states: "Rev. Wallace Schulz went on to present a very thorough argument concerning the charges on the basis of the Holy Scriptures alone," after which the Panel immediately writes: "However," and then maintains that this case had to be determined on the basis of an LCMS convention resolution.  In fact, the Panel's decision makes over 25 references to the controversial resolution and an additional 35 references to bylaws but fails to make even a single reference to the Holy Scriptures! In other words, even though this case involves a very serious offense against God's First Commandment and must therefore be dealt with on the basis of God's Word, the Panel has decided to rule on the basis of a man-made resolution!  In its decision the Panel has clearly violated the Constitution of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod and sinned against the Word of God, since Article VIII of the LCMS Constitution states "All matters of doctrine and conscience shall be decided only by the Word of God."   If the Panel's decision is permitted to stand unchallenged, its impact will reach far beyond the Benke case, fundamentally changing our Synod and leading it to resolve spiritual issues on the basis of men's opinions rather than God's Word. --Second VP of the LCMS Rev. Dr. Wallace Schulz, in a letter to the Secretary of the LCMS, responding to the recent overturning of his formal decision to suspend Rev. David Benke for syncretism. This is a Bad, Bad Thing™ unfolding in my church. How in the world can it be that the Bible now carries so little compelling wisdom with which to address such issues among us?   1:52:04 PM   googleit 147
