Good grief! What foolishness. let's hear some other people on this forum speak of Dr Braaten and Dr Jenson. or do we let foolishness have the last word?
Calm yourself. Or if you wish, Google "Braaten" "Jenson" "apostasy". You will find entries going back to 2007 for a blog called ichabod-something or other, written by someone named Gregory Jackson, who may be the same as GregoryLJackson. Otherwise, you won't find those three words together except in an entry for a book Braaten and Jenson wrote that mentions apostasy. In other words, Pr. Jackson has a long-running single-handed animosity toward those two theologians. He has expressed himself long, vigorously, and frequently, but may not have made many converts. Let him alone.
Peace,

I am hardly alone in questioning the fidelity of Braaten and Jenson, but they are clearly in the style of this little discussion group.
I have some good information from a dissertation on Walther and the Synodical Conference. It can be found here -
http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com/2013/12/dr-cruz-discovers-dissertation-walther.html
The dissertation clearly explains how the Synodical Conference has fallen for relying on the work of Walther and making an idol out of every word he ever put into print. Some moan today that the Great Walther is not published completely in English.
Hoenecke, who was far better in theology, tended to look down on Walther as a religious journalist, according to Fuerbringer.
The people who want to call themselves confessional Lutherans never confess the doctrine of Luther at all.
The motley assembly of confessions, sects, and cults on this group blog should admit that they have one thing in common, the unifying creed of the Synodical Conference and ELCA - universal absolution without faith.
I dare not say Unitarianism or Universalism. Those bonded brothers are honest about their unbeliefs. Here - not.
