No Development Of Doctrine For Us, Th. Engelder
No Development Of Doctrine For Us, Th. Engelder
Concordia Theological Monthly
There is a third reason why we cannot engage in the development of doctrine. Our time and energies are so completely occupied with the study of the Word of God and the old doctrine of the Church that we have not a moment's time to expend on the business of further developing the doctrine. We read in the Proceedings of the Michigan District, 1897, page 36: "We all need to deepen our understanding of the doctrine. Let no man think that he has fully understood the whole doctrine. In this life we shall never reach that point. We know the …

The second reason why we refuse to have anything to do with developing the doctrine is that the development of the Christian doctrine simply means the destruction of the Christian doctrine. "He who sets out to improve the Scriptural doctrines is losing the doctrines. 'Progress' is here only a euphemism for retrogression; 'development' is a misnomer for destruction." (Proc., Westena.

The Social Ethics Of St Paul With Implications For Marriage And The Family, Walter Fisher
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
In this paper it is our intention to confine ourselves to a treatment of St. Paul’s social ethics. He has a great deal to say on this subject. We shall first of all develop the principles of his social message in general, and then confine ourselves to the implications of these principles for the basic social institution as we see what he has to say about marriage and the family.

The Significance Of Baptism For The Christian's Faith And Life, Bernhardt F. Meschke
Bachelor of Divinity
The very fact that Christ instituted and commanded Christian baptism is already enough to make it necessary. However, Jesus never instituted anything just for the sake of instituting, nor did the Master command for the sake of commanding. Baptism was given for the benefit of sinners. It is our purpose in the following pages to show the significance of baptism for the Christian's faith and life.
