On
October 4, 2002
, Dr. Werning filed three charges to
the LCMS Praesidium against Pastor Jack Cascione.
Below are the first sentences of each of Werning's charges.
1.
"Rev. Cascione failed to obey and pursue Biblical procedures,
especially Matthew 18 and the Eighth Commandment, and provisions and of the
LCMS Constitution and Bylaws when a pastor of the LCMS has a complaint
against another pastor."
2.
"Rev. Cascione in publishing his false allegations has violated the
Scriptural imperatives of Matthew 18 and the Eighth Commandment, and the
LCMS church procedures in its Constitution and Bylaws for bringing a
complaint against a brother pastor and in correcting him if he is
wrong."
3.
"Rev. Cascione has made doctrinal and theological statements that are
contrary to the Scriptures."
[a]
"Rev. Cascione maintains that all of God died on the cross on Good
Friday"
[b]
"Rev. Cascione does not believe that God answers prayer and confuses
the entire issue of our communication with God."
[c]
"Rev. Cascione claims that, 'All Theology is Christology.'"
In
its
April 21, 2003
letter signed by Dr. Paul L. Maier,
4th Vice President of the LCMS and Secretary of the Praesidium, not one of
Werning's charges against Cascione were substantiated.
Yet,
the South Wisconsin District Officers love, defend, and confess Werning 's
lies about God!
If
I tell the truth about the Trinity I can't be guilty of breaking the Eight
Commandment when I denounce Werning's false doctrine.
However, a man is guilty of breaking the Eighth Commandment in the
South Wisconsin District because he wants to keep the First Commandment?
It
has been two years since Dr. Waldo Werning published his false doctrine
about the Trinity in his book, "Health and Healing For the LCMS."
A free copy was sent to every 2001 LCMS Convention delegate.
The
South Wisconsin District (SWD) Circuit 22 Counselor, Rev. Ronald P. Krug,
and 4th Vice President, Rev. Paul Borgman, published letters supporting
Werning's doctrine of the Trinity. They
also published that Cascione was guilty of breaking the Eighth Commandment
for condemning Werning's doctrine of the Trinity.
SWD
President, Ron Meyer, wrote a letter dated
07/09/01
endorsing Werning's published
doctrine of the Trinity. In his
letter he also informed the Synod that my objections were
"hurtful" and accurate."
Why
is District President Ron Meyer more concerned about protecting Werning's
false doctrine about the Trinity than the ten's of thousands of souls he is
elected to protect from false doctrine?
Werning's
outrageous false doctrine about the Trinity has been sent out to the entire
Synod from the SWD and endorsed by the SWD President.
None
of the three SWD officials made and effort to talk with me before they wrote
their letters supporting Werning's false doctrine.
None of them will respond to my letters addressed to them.
Yet, these "servants of the Word" continue to hide behind
their SWD offices to condemn me.
For
almost two years I was convinced that Ron Meyer knew exactly what he was
doing when he endorsed Werning's false doctrine.
I even wrote that his office door was the gate to hell because he
endorsed a teaching clearly in violation of the Athanasian Creed.
It is not possible for the two of us to disagree on the Athanasian
Creed and both have eternal life.
A
high placed Synodical official pointed out my error and told me that the SWD
President honestly doesn't understand the doctrine of the Trinity. At this
time I must apologize for my remark about Meyer's door.
When he leads people to a lie about the Trinity he is not aware of
what he is doing.
However,
if you read the Athanasian Creed, there is no excuse for ignorance:
It
states: "Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary
that he hold the catholic [i.e., universal, Christian] faith.
Which faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without
doubt he shall perish everlastingly."
If
I have lied about God, then I should die a liar's death and receive the
eternal damnation as stated in the Athanasian Creed.
But, if I'm telling the truth about God, which one of the SWD Pastors
will have eternal life after they joyously reelect Ron Meyer as their
District President?
Why
should they let a problem with God's identity interfere with the smooth
operation of the SWD?
