STANDING FIRM FOR THE FAITH by David R. Barnhart

STANDING FIRM FOR THE FAITH

October 31, 2012 marked the 495th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther’s bold stand for truth was strengthened through his knowledge that the Scriptures are the solid, immovable rock upon which the whole church should base all its doctrines and faith. In time other men and women of faith joined Luther in embracing the biblical principles of the Reformation— Grace alone, Faith alone and Scripture alone.

 THEN AND NOW 

Looking at the spiritual bankruptcy within much of the organized church today, especially the false doctrines and deceptions being promulgated by Bible-denying clergy and theologians, it is obvious that another Reformation is desperately needed.

If the Reformers were alive today, neither they nor their biblically grounded teachings would be accepted by liberal theologians. More to the point, were the Reformers alive today, they would totally reject the humanistic doctrines that the false teachers are now promoting. How do I know? Because many of the doctrines and practices being carried out in 21st-century mainline churches are a complete contradiction of the doctrines taught by the Reformers.

LEARNING THE LESSONS OF HISTORY

In the Fall 2012 issue of The Vine and Branches, we included an article about Henry Melchior Muhlenberg (1711-1787), known as the Patriarch of the organized Lutheran Church in this country. After learning more about this great man of faith, you will realize his core beliefs are no longer acceptable among today’s liberal Lutherans.

To paraphrase George Santayana—those who fail to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them. As Christians we need to take time to learn history, so we won’t be taken in by those inclined to rewrite and distort historical facts. If more people knew the teachings of the Bible and the history of the church, the deceivers would find it much more difficult to ply their lies and distortions.

THE ELCA, THEN AND NOW

Consider two predecessor bodies of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)— the United Lutheran Church in America (ULCA) and the American Lutheran Church (ALC). When the ULCA was formed in 1918, its constitution stated: “The United Lutheran Church in America receives and holds the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and as the only infallible rule and standard of faith and practice, according to which all doctrines and teachers are to be judged.” (Article II).

In 1960 the ALC Constitution stated, “The American Lutheran Church accepts all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as a whole and in all their parts as the divinely inspired, revealed, and inerrant Word of God, and submits to this as the only infallible authority in all matters of faith and life” (Article II).

Tragically, both church bodies eventually abandoned these doctrinal statements that date back to the Refor-mation and to the Lutheran Confessions.

The late Walter R. Bouman, former ELCA seminary professor, is quoted on the ELCA’s official website, regarding their position on the Scriptures:

The church listens to and loves its Scripture as the “Word of God,” but it does not worship its book. It knows that it must trust some words of Scripture against other words of Scripture, that it must subject its book to relentless study, analysis, critique, that it must always listen to it anew, learn it
anew, translate it anew. For its book is “Word of God” only as it points beyond itself to the Lord who alone is Word and revelation. The principle of self-critique, critique of its traditions, critique even of its book is essential to the identity of the God who is Jesus, his Father, and the Holy Spirit.

What caused the seismic shift that moved these Lutherans from their high view of Scripture to the place where they now deny foundational truths their churches once proclaimed? What possessed them to embrace doctrines and practices contrary to God’s Word?

 

STANDING ON QUICKSAND

At the risk of contradicting my own premise, it wasn’t  a lack of knowledge about church history that brought about these outrageous departures of the faith. Indeed, these errant theologians and clergy were aware of the church’s long-held confessions concerning the Scriptures. Furthermore, they knew exactly what the Bible said about the doctrines they had set aside.

The truth is this— because their hubris became so magnified, they could no longer accept the Bible’s teachings regarding its inspiration or its teachings on assorted moral issues. Thus, they set out to humanize the Scriptures and claim the books of the Bible are the flawed works of men from times past and are no longer relevant.

 Furthermore, these false teachers preached thousands of sermons, wrote hundreds of books and penned scores of nonsexist translations of the Bible in order to inform and reprogram what they perceived to be the misinformed, misguided and biblically inept laity. In all these efforts, their number one message was, and remains, this— “The Bible does not mean what it says; it means what we say it means.”

Today deceived church members and their liberal leadership are no longer standing on the solid, immovable rock of Scripture where the Reformers once stood, instead they are wallowing in the quicksand of their own deluded reasoning. Thankfully, a faithful remnant has broken their ties with the compromising branch of the church, in order to uphold Reformation truths and the historic Lutheran doctrine regarding the infallibility of God’s Word. 

 

 

UPDATES OCTOBER 28, 2012 REFORMATION SUNDAY

1. An official report by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) revealed that the denomination suffered a net loss of 370 congregation in 2011, along with a loss of 213,000 members. ELCA membership at the end of 2011 stood at 4,059,785, down from 4,272,688 at the end of 2010.

6. Grace Lutheran Church, North Branch, NY is fighting a battle with their synod to be released from the ELCA with their property after two successful and legal votes were passed. A recent letter from the synod stated that their vote to leave is not recognized and the church is now under “permanent synodical administration.” Pray for this congregation.
 

7. A new adult Bible study, Animate Faith, produced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), is being taught and promoted in ELCA congregations all over America. The study, released August 2012, might better be called “Animate Unbelief.’’ The material for this study incorporates the distortions and ramblings of assortment of leaders from the Emergent Church. (Read about the Emergent Church in The Vine and Branches, Summer 2012, Issue 3.) An extensive review of this material will be presented in the December issue of The Vine and Branches.

DON'T TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME AUGUST 10

August 10, 2012 will be Minnesota Atheists Night at St. Paul Ball Park. The St. Paul Saints have even agreed to change their name by dropping the "S" and making the minor league  MR AINTS for the occasion.
Dayn Perry writes: "To kick off the evening, Dave Silverman, president of American Atheists, will toss out the ceremonial first pitch. Should he throw a perfect strike, he will presumably not be thanking God afterward. Once the game is completed, all in attendance will be at least nine innings closer to the abyss that awaits us on the other side."
Hopefully a lot of Twin Cities folks will be singing "Don't Take Me Out to the Ball Game!"

Lutherans Concerned, now ReconcilingWorks, looks forward to hearing Mark Hanson speak at their convention

A contingent of LGBT Lutherans will be in Washington this weekend for its biennial conference and while the denomination is still celebrating a 2009 decision that allows partnered gay and lesbian clergy to live openly, the group says it still has much work to do.
ReconcilingWorks — Lutherans for Full Participation was founded in 1974 by six people when it was known as Lutherans Concerned for Gay and Lesbian People. This year’s gathering, which runs Friday through Tuesday based at Luther Place Memorial Lutheran Church (1226 Vermont Ave., N.W.) will find a few hundred LGBT believers and allies here to fellowship, lobby, hear a keynote address from Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson and more. Those interested in attending can still get involved — visit reconcilingworks.org for information.

Members say it’s a huge step for the entire denomination to have[Bishop Mark]Hanson address their group. Moeller says Hanson was always sensitive to their issues but measured in his public stance prior to the 2009 vote. He’s been more unequivocal in his support since then, members say, and his appearance is unprecedented for the 4.2 million-member ELCA.
“This is the first time we’ve ever had a presiding bishop address us and it really says something about the change that’s happening within the church,” Moeller says.
