Luther Anticipated the Observations of Theodore P. Letis

 



One advantage of publishing "the blog nobody reads" is hearing from people who challenge that claim. They offer me insights from their own situation and they provide sources for more research. Recently, two authors were mentioned by readers. I wrote about the first - Laurence Vance - and his books on the King James Version. 

I knew a little about Letis, but a reminder from another reader caused me to dig through my pile of KJV books and uncover The Ecclesiastical Text, by Theodore P. Letis, $20. 

 Letis - Edward Freer Hills' Contribution to the revival of the Ecclesistical Text, $900.

I was already a reader of Edward Freer Hills' work, so this is an important book, given Letis' ability to summarize research.

WELS-LCMS-ELDONA-CLC-ELS Deny the Inerrancy of the Scriptures.
They Follow ELCA in Everything Foul, Wrong, and Despicable.

 


PLAN - The Pan-Lutheran Association of Non-Believers - has been on the forefront of rejecting, mocking, and replacing the King James Version for decades. Notice - they also follow Rome in three-year calendars (papal), new names and definitions of Sundays for the simpletons (papal), and the liturgical colors from baby blue to ballet pink (papal). 

No Lutheran leader can claim to advocate the inerrancy of the Scriptures while promoting such monstrosities as the NIV, NRSV, ESV, and the BrugSV. 

Some wonder - "What about the New KJV?" It shares the same prejudice against the Traditional Majority Text by citing the Nestle Aland UBS Greek New Testament. They use (M) for Majority Text, lost on most people - and (NU) for Nestle Aland UBS. The New KJV should have show some honesty, mostly lacking at TAN - Thomas A. Nelson - by designation the two as (KJV) and Nasty Ugly Butcher-job) - (Nasty) for short.

As some are beginning to see, the footnotes deny what the main text seems to say. A stink-bomb from the NIV crowd is Isaiah 7:14 - 

  1. Isaiah 7:14 Or young woman 
If that is a legitimate translation, then the rest of the Bible is nothing more than a joke. 


NIV "But all are justified - OJ - is a big win for us."


The many erasures accomplished by the NIV-ESV have the effect of saying there is very left-wing versions proclaimed in the footnotes so apostates do not have to feel nervous, depressed, anxious, or faithful to the Word.


 "Hands off My Bible" in WELS means - Leave the NIV alone!
