Tagteam Old Lutheran quote of the Day

"The effect of such a view of scripture [a divine/human nature] in our day has been devastating. No longer can anyone claim that it is a mere petty strife over words. God's truth and His church are threatened as to their very life and existence, although we can rest on His promise that none of these forces of evil shall finally destroy either of them. But for the sake of blood-bought souls clinging to God's Word in Holy Scripture concerning their Savior, the church must recognize the gravity of the attack on Scripture. When Scripture is described as a medley or composite of divine and human elements, of truth and error, then the Good News Itself, the Gospel, is no longer safe."

Eugene Klug
The Springfielder, XXXIX, 209

"Beware, beware, I say, of this "divine-human" Scripture! It is a devil's mask; for at last it manufactures such a Bible after which I certainly would not care to be a Bible Christian, namely, that Bible should henceforth be no more than any other good book, a book which I would have to read with constant sharp discrimination in order not to be lead into error. For if I believe this, that the Bible contains errors, it is to me no longer a touchstone but itself stands in need of one."

Martin Luther
