There have been two phone calls
to this writer from an attorney and member of the LCMS Board of Directors
about the source of the
January
12, 2004
Reclaim News Release.
The release was titled, "Kieschnick Approves Minority Publishing Dissent Against BOD
Policy"
The BOD wants to know who leaked
the communication from the dissident Board minority to President Kieschnick
and Kieschnick’s reply and approval of their action.
The Board minority broke Board
Policy by publishing their objection to recent Board decisions and are thus
subject to removal from the Board. They
wrote: “Also, if you deem it helpful, feel free to share our statement
with members of the CCM as well as with the church so that those whom we
serve as elected officers might know the reasons for our dissent.”
Kieschnick also broke Board
policy and should also be removed from the Board when he responded to Betty
Duda, Jean Garton, Oscar Hanson, and Edwin Trapp Jr., “I will give careful
consideration to an appropriate time and manner in which to share your
letter in a more public way with the Synod.”
The Attorney wants to know where
the information came from, when it was received and from whom it was
received.
The Attorney was told that if
President Kieschnick doesn’t have to answer questions about the Trinity,
I’m not going to answer questions for the Board of Directors.
President Kieschnick made the
Eighth Commandment his special priority during his inauguration speech at
the 2001 LCMS Convention.
How does Kieschnick endorse
charges against the LCMS’s public doctrine of the Trinity?
I have publicly denounced Dr.
Waldo Werning’s false doctrine of the Trinity published in his book
“Health and Healing For the LCMS” which was given to every delegate at
the 2001 LCMS Convention. President
Kieschnick accepted Doctor Werning’s charges against me to the Praesidum
because I call Werning’s doctrine “lies about God”.
It appears the Eighth Commandment doesn’t apply to God.
The
Praesdium proceeded to “adjudicate” my case.
President Kieschnick wrote to me that this “was no idle threat.”
I wrote back to Kieschnick and the Preasidium that it was “a cheap
idle threat.” After a year,
the Praesidium voted: "not
to proceed with the case of Werning v. Cascione, thereby terminating the
Praesidium's responsibility for this case, in accord with By-Law
2.27b."
Now, the BOD wants me to answer
questions about my sources. First,
let Kieschnick answer questions about the Trinity, which he refuses to
answer.
Jesus Christ and the Apostles
answered questions about God: why won’t Kieschnick?
The Golden Calf of Synodical
By-Laws, regulations, and CCM rulings have superseded the LCMS President’s
need to tell the truth about God.
Could this have anything to do
with the South Wisconsin District President, the Texas District President,
and “Jesus First” endorsing Werning’s false doctrine of the Trinity?
If the BOD wants me to answer
questions about its Board Policy then the BOD will have to get Kieschnick to
answer questions about God.
Perhaps, what Jesus Christ
needed when Caiaphas questioned him was some Synodical Bylaws.
