Seminex 2.0

<p>Rev. Gregory Schulz has shown in this philosophical study of modernism and postmodernism the foundational heresy of Seminex was what we now call postmodernism. </p><p>By quoting Derrida's 1994 comments regarding his interpretation of the Bible I demonstrated that postmodernism is utterly opposed to the authoritative Word of God. Postmodernism opposes the Word of Christ by willfully asserting <strong><em>I want to keep the right to read these texts in a way that has to be constantly reinvented. It is something which can be totally new at every moment. </em></strong></p><p>Consciously or unconsciously the following persons and entities of the LCMS based or are basing their interpretation of the Bible and lesser authoritative texts on the foundational heresy of postmodernism: </p><p>First the Seminex professors of the 1970s from the LCMS seminary in St. Louis. </p><p>Secondly the author of the textbook What Does This Mean?: Principles of Biblical Interpretation in the Post-Modern World published initially in 1997 and then in a revised edition in 2001 by the LCMS's Concordia Publishing House. The author was a professor at the seminary in St. Louis.</p><p>Notably there was little if any reaction against the LCMS text What Does This Mean? from the faculty of our other LCMS seminary at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne in 1998.</p><p>Thirdly there is the evidence of Concordia University Wisconsin the flagship university of the LCMS's Concordia University System copiously documented by external reporting from The Federalist by texts from national authorities and by the university's willingness to invent and rewrite procedural and institutional governance texts; as well as its flagrant reinterpreting of biblical texts such as 1 Timothy 2:12.</p><p>Fourthly there is mounting evidence of the synodical administrators and district presidents' manifest commitment to the foundational heresy of postmodernism in their attacks on faithful pastors in North America and in overseas mission fields showing in words and actions that they are in fellowship with postmodernism: I want to keep the right to read these texts in a way that has to be constantly reinvented. It is something which can be totally new at every moment.</p><p>What appeared in the 1970s to be an isolated or anomalous explosion has turned out to be a synodical implosion in this third decade of the twenty-first century. This is because of LCMS's commitment to and toleration of the foundational postmodern heresy.</p><p></p>
