Uwe Siemon-Netto

As we have seen, the Bethel Confession braces us by setting us on the solid ground of the apostolic doctrine, where we are rescued from being tossed about by modern ideology such as race theory or Marxism's doctrine of struggle.

Uwe Siemon-Netto, who as a child lived through the Nazi regime, wrote of how the National Socialists used propaganda to commandeer Lutheran doctrine and subsume the church into its project.

In his book, The Fabricated Luther, Uwe Siemon-Netto warned of the cost to the church of allowing modern ideologies to infiltrate the church.

Siemon-Netto writes Secular creeds infiltrating doctrine, thus blurring the distinction between the two realms.

This is how anti-Semitic, Marxist, liberationist, feminist, and homosexual agendas managed to replace biblical and confessional truths in the kerygma, that is, in the gospel proclamation of the mainline Protestant churches in the Western world, sending them into a tailspin.
