Lutheran Confessions and the Word of God

Pastor Weedon points out an incredibly apt statement in the Treasury of Daily Prayer's assigned readings from the Book of Concord. Here in a single sentence is what it means to subscribe the Confessions:

In my humble opinion I judge that all these [AC, Ap, Treatise] agree with Holy Scriptures and the belief of the true and genuine catholic Church.  - Johann Brenz (A+D 1499-1570).

Accordingly, this is something all Lutherans and all Lutheran Churches can say. Our own beloved Church, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, in its humble opinion judges that the entire Book of Concord agrees with Holy Scriptures and the belief of the true and genuine catholic Church.


Praise be to God! Amen.
