Nobody here worships Luther and we don’t live our lives to be encouraged by miracles. Our lives belong to Christ and seek to do His will. We encourage other believers with what we read in the Bible and we gain strength through daily prayer. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. That is much different from a lineage of many men who make things up as they go along, depending on the age they live in.

Nobody here worships Luther

Protestants don't worship Luther, but most follow his doctrine of the Bible alone as the sole rule of faith. This doctrine isn't found in the Bible.

...and we don’t live our lives to be encouraged by miracles.

That's good, too, since they shouldn't be the center of your spiritual life. But they're real, so why reject them?

Many atheistic scientists who have studied the Shroud of Turin have become Christians. I consider this a good thing, making the the Shroud very valuable and worthy of study. Moreover, as a relic of Christ Himself, it is extremely valuable.

Our lives belong to Christ and seek to do His will.

That's also good. But how do you know what His will is? Is it by using the Bible ALONE as your sole rule of faith?

We encourage other believers with what we read in the Bible

Which Bible? The full Bible, or Luther's abridged version? If you accept Luther's Bible, where does the Bible to tell you that Luther's Bible is the correct Bible?

Where does the Bible tell you that the Bible is the SOLE rule of faith?

Why are so many Protestants ignorant of the following passage?

"If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector." --Jesus

Of those who know of this passage, why do they dismiss it?

...and we gain strength through daily prayer.

That's good.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

True.

That is much different from a lineage of many men who make things up as they go along, depending on the age they live in.

Do you mean the unbroken lines of successors to St. Peter, leaders of the historical Church that Christ founded?

Why do you dismiss the Church so casually?

You can't be getting that from the Bible, since Scripture refers to the church that Christ founded as "the pillar and foundation of truth."

Did you notice when ever they have no answer to what was posted they accuse us of “worshiping luther?”

Why not just say “Yes, we like playing with severed body parts!”
