The LCMS Ethics Crisis Behind Public Heresy Accusations | Dr. Jim Voelz & Dr. Mark Hoehner

What happens when public accusations of heresy are made without clear evidence?In this urgent Lead Time conversation, Rev. Dr. Jim Voelz and Rev. Dr. Mark Hoehner join Tim Ahlman to discuss ethics, truth, the Eighth Commandment, public criticism, and the responsibility Christians have when making serious accusations inside the church.The conversation centers on recent criticisms of Dr. Voelz’s work, including claims tied to Seminex 2.0, Christian News, and debates around biblical interpretation, postmodernism, and confessional Lutheran theology. But the deeper question is bigger than one person:Can the LCMS recover a more faithful way to disagree?References discussed in this episode include James W. Voelz’s What Does This Mean?, Principles of Biblical Interpretation for Everyone, Christian News, the Seminex 2.0 document, Matthew 18, Proverbs 6, Galatians 2, Acts 15, and Alan Kreider’s The Patient Ferment of the Early Church.The Best Pizza Franchise OpportunityAnthony & Luca's Pizza Kitchen is the hottest new Cheesesteak & NY Pizza Franchise.Support the show⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Care about the future of the LCMS?Join the LCMS Current!
