Well, hopefully, our doctrinal differences can be resolved.

At least among the German princes we were pretty close in A.D. 1530. 21 of the 28 articles of the Augsburg Confession were on points of agreement, including justification, repentance, and the Eucharist.

There are detractors now on both sides but I believe that the signing of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification was either the beginning of the end (or the end of the beginning) of the reformation.

Note the lower case "r".

Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification

A liberal doc signed by lib lutherans, in conflict with Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. As the LCMS puts it, a Betrayal of the Gospel.

"Heretic" is still a good word, just like "Dogmatist" is a good word, except nobody knows what they mean anymore, and thus they are becoming unusable words.

I hate it when the meaning of words gets obscured, tainted, reversed. (That is so "gay"!)

Anyway, I was just thinking this morning (yes, actually) about "The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" I was thinking about what that means, long, wide, and deep.

Let's pray for this communion, eh?
