Okay that worked, thanks for the tip.

But after downloading and reading the article I still don't get the point of the op. It appears from the article that the author is rejecting the precepts of "higher criticism" due to it incompatibility with the inerrancy of Scripture.

"These techniques employed by the historicalcritical scholar make the Bible a book of doubts and uncertainties filled at best with likelihoods and probabilities. There is no room in this line of thinking for inerrancy. That would be ridiculously out of place among what are believed to be oral accounts reinterpreted and revised at numerous times and preserved in written sources which were periodically transformed by redactors. Miracles, eyewitness accounts, specific prophecy, scientific data, and the history recorded in Scripture are radically revised or denied. Higher criticism leaves us with the question whether there is anything at all that we can know with any certainty, including facts about the person, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth."

This leaves me more confused about the point of the op.

Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

Why is WELS pointing out the problem of Higher-Criticism of the ELCA? Who is this helping but create a potential pharisaical spirit among wels instead of a God glorifying position of Scripture?

I really don't see the need to point out the faults of other churches on a church website. What is the point?

The OP fails to see this was a problem in Luther's Day, way before HC appeared. What other reformers embraced what Luther saw in the Scriptures?

I think the Gospel has been lost to post age sprituality, legalism, prophecy, prosperity thinking in most churches today, via Rick Warren reductionism. These together touch on a larger percentage than HC does.

charles
the universal or Catholic church consists of all believers in Jesus merits alone.

so each PERSON  is a part of the church.  part of the church is rejecting Gods word as inerrant that whats wrong WITH THE CHURCH  and part of the church is rejecting that the bible is wrong in anything it says . thats whats Right  with the church.


also isnt this happening amoung whole denominations the American national baptist convention has  rejected God bible as inerrant The southern baptist convention has accepted  Gods word as inerrant.

same can be said amoung lutheran denominations. one  rejects  the others  accept Gods word as inerrant .
