ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters.

WELS To Add to Its Sins with the NNIV.
Adam Is a Myth.
Everyone Is Born Forgiven
AC V has left a new comment on your post "NNIV in WELS: Pro and Con. The Convicts Love the ...":
NNIV Romans 3:23,24:
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Italicized "all" is not in the original Greek. Yet the "ad fontes" WELS endorses the NNIV. In fact, the committee commending the NNIV to the synod in convention this summer highlights these verses as an improvement of the NIV.

2138, excellent points. Thanks for highlighting them.
Everyone, think about it. Let it sink in. These are profound observations. And right under your nose... as LutherRocks said, for centuries.

Born free, as free as Hugh Hefner,
As free as a Changer
Born free to follow your whims.
Live free, spent bottles surround you
Repentance astounds you
Each time you look at a star.*
Stay free, where no one can say "No."
You're free as a roaring Id
So no impulse is hid.
Born free, thanks to NNIV
But just that NIV
Says you're born free!
