I noticed one of the historians for this movie is Dr. Thomas Manteufel, a professor emeritus of Concordia Seminary. In 1997 or 1998, Manteufel was called on by a pastor to respond to a controversy regarding Walther's teaching of Universal, Objective Justification. Since this doctrine is the heart of Christianity, I wrote to him to ask him if he really believed it since his synod does not actively teach it (the true Gospel). Although he responded in the affirmative, I have to inform him of the dilemma he is in as a member of the LCMS. Here is my final word to him:
You remain in a synod that tolerates doubt on this doctrine. How so? By the discounting of this doctrine in dealings with other church bodies- unionism. What would Luther say? “Monstrous!” - monstrom incertitudinis.
So much for the LCMS attempt to honor Walther. In your face today's LC-MS -->
"Walther, the American Luther!"
