Because Catholics never know if they have been "good enough", kept the law well enough, done enough penance , or enough good works to be saved.. that is not living with hope ..that is living in uncertainty and fear
Lutherans do not follow all of Luther’s writings, nor do we consider him a prophet. His writings in the Book of Concord are part of our confessional statement. His other writings are worthy of study, but they are not infallible.
In the United States, the WELS, the ELCA, and the LCMS have all denounced his anti-Jewish writings. So yes, we do reject Luther when he is clearly in the wrong.
Genesis 1
English Standard Version (ESV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Sheene obviously didn’t account for those who read what the Catholic Church teaches and are appalled by it. The more I learn about he Catholic Church and what it teaches the more convinced I am that it’s not only wrong but appallingly wrong.
Thanks for the prayers—but don’t pray for me to give up my Roman Catholic faith, the beauty of its liturgy and its traditions, the priestly tradition, the beauty of Mary and her answer; the papacy. Pray for my arthritic hip; pray that my lung cancer does not return; pray for my son to find a job; pray for the millions of aborted babies. If I am in such a state of sin and apostasy, why should God answer my prayers and the prayers of any Catholic? Jesus died on that cross for me, and you, and all. It’s time for these condemnations to stop.Yes! We are in your corner!
Change "Muslims" to "Jews" in the preceding sentence, and I'll bet you pick option "c".
You'd be wrong. Muslims never followed the OT. Jesus came to the Jews, Is 53:3. He was rejected. Ishmael wasn't the son of the covenant Isaac was.
Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, no one goes to the Father except through Him.
As for the Jews, Matt 10:33.
So knowing their can only be One Tuth, why do you have so many versions of it.
Which version is the One Truth??

Amen. Praying for you.
That one didn’t make much sense to me. Poster might not be feeling well or something. Not sure.
:D

Amen, englishprof302.
Praying for you.
The more I learn about he Catholic Church and what it teaches the more convinced I am that it’s not only wrong but appallingly wrong.
I didn’t realize that your understanding of Catholicism was divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit for you to know with a certainty that Catholicism is “appalling wrong”
Kind of like your inerrant knowledge of Gutenberg’s bible.

The scripture you posted isn't about Catholics; it's about humans. God created mankind, not Catholickind.
Choosing to be Catholic is just a bad choice; people aren't made that way.

The Book of Concord is the statement of Lutheranism (named by Catholics) and it contains no anti-Jewish doctrine. Catholicism’s history is replete with actions of anti-semitism. Led by Popes, some of them saints.
Our hope is in the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Our hope is in Christ.
Anyone who is in Christ has the seeds of these perfect virtues: Faith, Hope, Love.
Cue the Twilight Zone!
Saying a prayer for you and your family.
English profs are my favorite type of person.
evident has a local ekklesia. a church he has been meeting with. He's the pastor of it! "Presbyterian, father of four, abortion enthusiast"
They haven't booted him out. What makes you think he will get correction from them?
What if the local group he has been meeting with, consists of him, his wife, and his teenage son?
And what if the local group I have been meeting with, consists of me, my identical twin, and my BFF?
What if his local group disagrees with my local group?
Hatfields and McCoys?
