Do the Intrepids Want To Stay Tepid?
You Are Not Alone, Brett Meyer

Inflammatory.

I may be the only individual that sees a problem with this statement, Let's hope we don't have inflammatory personalities, like C.F.W. Walther and F.A. Schmidt, involved, personalities which, history tells us, didn't help bring matters to a peaceful resolution, but exacerbated the conflict. If genuine unity is what is desired, then now is NOT the time, for anyone, to take hardened positions and stridently advance them, but to engage in patient and cautious discussion, as they strive to handle the Word of God, the Confessions, and the facts of history with the fidelity they deserve.

Isn't 'now' the time to take a hardened position for Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions and stridently (if not a harder) advance it?!!

Is Scripture the pinnacle of clarity on the doctrine of Justification and isn't the Christian Book of Concord (WLS grads -that's another term for the Lutheran Confessions) abundantly clear when faithfully explaining every participle of the doctrine of Justification? How then could someone who finds the bedrock of Justification's foundation in Scripture and the BOC be less than hardened concerning it? The flip side of that - how can anyone then be softened to Christ's doctrine concerning Justification?


Divisive!
