I agree that it is a little fuzzy, but at least they had the guts to initially recommend against it. Props to the ESV doctrine committee on this one. Perhaps they can teach their WELS brothers something? Ahh, who am I kidding...

GJ - I see a few positive signs of resistance to the New NIV in WELS. Apparently some groups have already formed to discuss and work against the NNIV. Beware, each group has synod-minders in it, to report back to Wendland and Schroeder. Neither one will tolerate any dissent from The Plan. Gay videos are fine with them, but not independent thinking.
I read about district votes. That will be more managed than one of Stalin's show trials. The outcome will be determined before anyone meets, with the right floor committees and resolutions. This can easily be by-passed by a significant group with significant spine.
If there is no real objection to this monstrous joke of a translation, the few objectors will be picked off, one by one, using various excuses to undermine the man's ministry. Everyone knows that in advance. Tyndale was burned at the stake for his translation. Most ministers are afraid of missing lunch. The laity who care have drifted away. In many cases the all-loving and grace-filled Wisconsin Synod has extended the Left Foot of Fellowship to them.
WELS - Wendland and the NNIV are your punishments for buying the Classic NIV, almost as rotten, for the last 25 years.
