"When error is admitted into the Church, it will be found that the stages of its progress are always three. It begins by asking toleration. Its friends say to the majority: You need not be afraid of us; we are few, and weak; only let us alone; we shall not disturb the faith of others...Indulged in this for a time, error goes on to assert equal rights. Truth and error are two balancing forces...From this point error soon goes on to its natural end, which is to assert supremacy."
Charles P. Krauth, The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology, Philadelphia: The United Lutheran Publication House, 1871, p. 195f.
"An age of darkness is a creedless age; corruption in doctrine works best when it is unfettered by an explicit statement of that doctrine."
Charles P. Krauth, The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology, Philadelphia: The United Lutheran Publication House, 1871, p. 215.

| This is a good example of abusing the Confessions to excuse apostasy. The world was longing for Wayne Mueller, MDiv, The Sausage Factory, to overturn Luther. The Book of Concord demands it! Mueller, Valleskey, Bivens, Glende are 100% UOJ and Church Growth. Bring on the UOJ New NIV. |
