Wow! I wish you could re-print that and sent it to every WELS pastor. I'm afraid most wouldn't get it. How sad!

GJ - My sources are old and trustworthy. I remember what a famous atheist poet said at our college - Steal from the best.
The problem is that the Syn Conference pastors have been trained to steal from the worst and conceal the theft.
Many WELS pastors read this blog. Some have said, "Everyone does, but no one admits it." I doubt everyone, but many do.
I would like everyone to see what treasure the Book of Concord is, but that only happens during a time of confessional crisis. If no one will admit that there is one, few will study the Confessions and be edified. The Lutheran Symbols, as they are sometimes called, will remain "old-fashioned, boring, and irrelevant." All that is true for Elmer Gantry clergy.

You know some WELS pastors. They deem themselves more brilliant than some of the best theologians in history. Some will go so far as to scornfully dismiss portions of Scripture by disregarding it. If you sense something is wrong with such attitudes, there is.
