I have to apologize to Paul Calvin Kelm for writing as if he invented kelming, the verbatim copying of material from false teachers without a citation. CFW Walther and F. Pieper kelmed double-justification from Halle professor Knapp.
For many decades, Syn Conference leaders have acted as if OJ, SJ, and UOJ were embedded in the Scriptures and the Confessions. The language of SJ/OJ comes from the English edition of Knapp, which was used in German and English in America and Germany. The book is still in print today, although it preceded the formation of the old Missouri Synod by years.
The Syn Conference has been caught knapping.
