Why Doctrine Matters
The always solid Rev. Stiegemeyer (of The Burr in the Burgh) has once again shown why he’s a leading member of the must-read club of Confessional Lutheran Bloggers.
It seems like doctrine is viewed by so many folks these days as a bad word. You know, the kind of word that generates lots of self-congratulatory intolerance amongst the oh-so-tolerant crowd…
Rev. Stiegemeyer clearly, cogently, and forcefully exposes the fallacy behind anti-doctrine arguments in his posting Doctrine vs. God’s Word. Doctrine — that is teaching — is necessary. It is good, although it can also be false. Good doctrine is based on God’s Word. It summarizes God’s Word. It is normed by/against God’s Word. It is not in opposition to/against God’s Word — false doctrine is.
Kudos to Rev. Stiegemeyer for reminding us of all this!
