Harley's Lutheran Witness


Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "LCMS Pastor Vernon Harley - On the Synergism Accus...":

Absolutely outstanding. He accurately identified the major problems with the false gospel of UOJ as they've been exposed on Ichabod, Extra Nos and Bailing Water.

Credit to him for being eloquent and concise. To continue to confess UOJ in opposition to Christ's Word is clearly to worship and trust synod and man's reason above all.

GJ - He has shown that UOJ was not the official message of the Missouri Synod. It took 100 years for the Knapp double-justification of Halle University to become normed in the 1932 Brief Statement.

Notice that the date is often given for the Brief Statement. There were statements before that one, and they did not include UOJ.

Missouri, WELS, and the ELS began to head downhill on the Enthusiasm Train after that time.

The Bronze Age Missourians point at their liberals, and WELS blames the Jungkuntz crowd, but they all share Enthusiasm, UOJ and the inevitable results thereof.
