The doctrine of Confessional Lutheranism is found in Scripture and the Book of Concord, any can access and read it. So it isn't made up from tradition like Catholicism and given a thumb's up from a panel of old priests.

FYI lib lutherans support abortion, homosexuality as normative, and the ordination of women. As a result, even a Catholic with little discernment can deduce they don't follow God's Word. So unless there is 'no' discernment, the choice is fairly easy to make as to whom to believe.

Like I said earlier, the lib lutherans and the trending Catholics under Francis should do well together.

The “Book of Concord” is man-made. Anyone can write his own “book”.

I've yet to find a Christian group of believers whose "confession" is not "found in Scripture". Including the "lib Lutherans".

Clearly, it isn't self-interpreting.

Yet they say that they do. They can plunge into Scripture and pull out quotes to support their viewpoint just like you.

And who are you to contradict them?
