LCMS here. The church I grew up in admonished us NOT to make the sign of the cross because it was too showy, like you were drawing attention to yourself. Then I was an atheist for a long time (unrelated). Now that I'm back at another pretty conservative LCMS church, 90% of the people do it! I think I'll probably start doing it too, if the whole congregation is doing it, I'm hardly showing off to anyone else.

Quick question out of curiosity, I just want to hear your thoughts, how do Lutherans respond to the apostolic teaching found in the book of Acts chapter 15? The Council of Jerusalem was meeting to discuss the Gentiles and how they should behave. Their conclusion is given by Acts 15:29 "You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things."

Silly ~ Your Bible also states that a burnt animal sacrifice on the altar is also pleasing to the Lord. So why doesn't your church torch a cow during services? What utter B.S. ~ grown A$$ men in the 21st century, wearing a dress & pretending to make sense of a made up book written when its authors didn't know where the sun went at night. LOL

I have a question, hopefully I get a charitable answer. If Lutheranism teaches Sola Scriptura, where is the concept of consubstantiation in the Bible? And I don't mean wether if Christ is in the Eucharist, but the explanation of the way that He is present. I mean wether the "how" is biblical, not the "what". If Jesus said "this is my Body" and "this is my Blood" instead of the concept of consubstantiation that would be "this is my Body and bread alongside" and "this is my Blood and wine alongside". Otherwise, how does Sola Scriptura still hold.

@ULCMN Ай бұрын

A very good question you pose. Consubstantiation is based on the words of St. Paul when he asks he rhetorical question, the bread which we break is it not the body of Christ, the cup we bless is not the communion in the blood of Christ? Since Paul speaks of bread and cup many say that both substances are in the sacrament (body and bread, blood and wine) hence consubstantiation. However Paul's point is not to prove that the bread remains along with the body, but rather that the bread IS the body of Christ. I frankly have no idea whether the bread and wine remain such in the Sacrament. I am absolutely certain that the Sacrament is Christ's Body and Blood. The mechanics of this remain a mystery.

А до этого я жил в городе Тольятти (Самарская область), это рядом с Волгой. Когда я жил в России, я не ассоциировал себя с какой-либо церковной организацией потому что слишком мало знал о них. В Германии есть Евангельская Церковь Германии (EKD), но она очень либеральна и её трудно воспринимать всерьёз, поэтому я несу свою веру и свою церковь в моём сердце. Надеюсь в скором будущем наши страны (Россия и США) помирятся, и мы будем снова друзьями... В каком городе и каком штате живёшь ты сейчас? God bless America! 🇺🇸

The thought of Mussolini being among the congregation at a Lutheran service is actually hilarious. Perhaps it was this experience that inspired him to put so much emphasis on music in the Fascist movement. It's a funny old world.............

I grew up in the largest Lutheran Church in the Wisconsin Synod. When I was very small they were still doing the early service in German. I think it had stopped by the time I was 5 but they still did a very traditional service with chanting, it was beautiful. Even as a small child I would sit quietly while the chanting was going on until I was able to memorize it and sing along. I loved the long service with the chanting and traditional liturgy but over the years it kept getting shortened more and more until the only time we chanted was during the communion part of the service. By the time I was 14 they had switched to a shorter version all around so even with communion the service didn't last an hour. I thought it was really sad. I sought out other Lutheran churches he held onto the old traditions longer, sometimes only finding them on holidays like Easter or Christmas.

The real question is are you born again? The Lord Jesus Christ said “ye must be born again” to go to Heaven (John 3:7)! It’s not water that washes away your sins, it’s only faith in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ. Don’t trust some water “baptism” that probably happened before you were old enough to remember it. Trust only the blood that Jesus shed for all your sins on the cross of Calvary! “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” - Colossians 1:14 KJV “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God” - Romans 3:25 KJV “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” - Revelation 1:5 KJV

@RobertEWaters 4 ай бұрын

It's water plus the Word. It's the promise our faith is in. We are born again, Jesus says, by water AND the Spirit, and the Gnostic rejection of the physical as a conveyer of the Word logically ends in rejection of the incarnation itself. Your position is not biblical. You can't separate water and the Promise. Every time the Bible mentions being born again, it refers to baptism! Here's what Scripture teaches about the subject, quoted by Luther in the Small Catechism's section on baptism: First What is Baptism? Baptism is not just plain water, but it is the water included in God’s command and combined with God’s word. Which is that word of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Matthew: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matt. 28:19) Explanation of The Nature of Baptism Second What benefits does Baptism give? It works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare. Which are these words and promises of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16) Explanation of The Blessings of Baptism Third How can water do such great things? Certainly not just water, but the word of God in and with the water does these things, along with the faith which trusts this word of God in the water. For without God’s word the water is plain water and no Baptism. But with the word of God it is a Baptism, that is, a life-giving water, rich in grace, and a washing of the new birth in the Holy Spirit, as St. Paul says in Titus, chapter three: “He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying.” (Titus 3:5-8) Explanation of The Power of Baptism Fourth What does such baptizing with water indicate? It indicates that the Old Adam in us should by daily contrition and repentance be drowned and die with all sins and evil desires, and that a new man should daily emerge and arise to live before God in righteousness and purity forever. Where is this written? St. Paul writes in Romans chapter six: “We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Rom. 6:4)

@@RobertEWaters In regards to Titus 3:5 and other similar verses, not every time when Scripture talks about "washing", "water" or even the word "baptism" is it referring specifically to water baptism. Holy Spirit baptism (1 Corinthians 12:13) is real and it is spiritual (not physical) and according to Ephesians 1:13, the Holy Spirit seals us after we trust in Christ, it has nothing to do with literal water. Remember John the Baptist said he baptizes with water, but we should look for the one coming who will baptize with the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:11). Either water washes away sins, or the blood does. It can't be both. Several times, the Scripture says that the blood of Jesus washes away all our sins. Since faith in his blood washes away all sins, there is nothing left for water to wash away (which is good because water does not even have such power). "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." - Hebrews 9:22 KJV "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" - Ephesians 1:7 KJV The Lord Jesus said "ye must be born again" (John 3:7). Everyone is born once (physical birth by water when you leave your mother's womb), but in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again (spiritual birth). This only happens when a sinner realizes that they are lost, on their way to Hell, and they "call upon the name of the Lord" (Romans 10:13). In other words, they receive Jesus as their personal Saviour and he saves them. "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" - John 1:12 KJV This is why the Lord Jesus says "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). The first birth is fleshy, of this earth. But the new birth/second birth (the moment one gets saved/born again) is entirely a spiritual transaction. It has nothing to do with physical water or anything else you can see. It has everything to do with a sinner trusting Christ alone and getting his soul saved for eternity.
