May God have mercy on you leading your flock into human based error and away from the Truth of the Scripture. Although the Scripture you like to hold inferior to your catechism and that actually is God breathed and without error pretty clearly states there is not much mercy for the wolves that lead the flock astray. I hope you become acquainted with actual Truth and avoid that fate

Please show me your Lutheran truth and the authority that it is God’s Truth. Show me the error in the Catholic faith, instead of a general statement with no facts.

From past posts you claimed to be a Lutheran that was established by an excommunicated Catholic priest for heresy that established a new religion and subsequently has split into Over 40 different Lutheran denominations currently exist in North America.

How can your church have so many different doctrines about God’s Truth? Some or perhaps most are false based on man’s views.

The Lutheran Church is primarily based on the teachings and beliefs of the 16th-century German friar, church reformer and theologian, Martin Luther. While there are many distinct bodies of the Lutherans throughout the world, each one to a certain extent follows the theology of Martin Luther and his Protestant Reformation from the Catholic Church.

Lutherans promotes the concept of justification “by grace alone through faith alone on the basis of Scripture alone”, the belief that the Bible is the ultimate authority on all issues of faith.

Nowhere in the Bible is stated by faith alone or scripture alone. Perhaps Luther added the word “alone”.

4. Worship: Unlike most Protestant religions, Lutheranism retains many of the outward symbols and liturgical structure of Catholicism. For instance, most Lutheran churches have altars, and their clergy wear vestments similar to those worn by Catholic priests. However, Lutheran churches aren’t bound by a central authority to follow any particular format, so you can often find differences between one church and another.

I see false prophets and false teachers out side of the Catholic faith. There may be a few in the Catholic Church, but the Catholic faith itself is true to God’s Word.

Did Jesus give any authority to start a new religion with new teachings to Martin Luther? Yes, there were errors and corruption in the Catholic Church over indulgences (which were corrected) but Luther denied his faith and broke away.
