Jesus Christ is God incarnate who came to earth to be born and live a perfect life, a sinless life. He then gave Himself up to be crucified and died to pay for the sins of the whole world. My sin, your sin, the sins of everybody. 3 days later He was resurrected. He now offers all who will turn from their sin and trust Him to save them from eternity in hell. He paid our debts so that we don't have to, but we have to trust Him to do it. I cannot add anything to what He has done. I cannot do enough good to take even a year off of my death sentence in hell. The sentence is a never ending one, because I have sinned against an eternal God. But Jesus took my punishment, He saved me, and offers that same salvation to you. I am praying for you.

"The point of the Reformation is to be faithful to God's word, not to just be as uncatholic as possible." I really wish that more evangelicals would realize this

[@slossboss]

And being Roman Catholic is being faithful to God's Word? I seriously missed that memo... And I always thought Luther believed in consubstantiation, not transubstantiation. Personally, I'm most in line with Calvin's view because the problem with transubstantiation is that it contradicts Hebrews 11 in the idea that Christ is continuously being crucified. I'm willing to admit that it is a mystery, but a literal transformation of the substance of the elements in the meal also forgets that Jesus gave the elements to his disciples before he was crucified. That's why Zwingli belived in memoralism. He believed it was more important to focus on communion as a means of remembering and proclaiming the Lord's death, rather than focusing on the particular spiritual significance of the elements in question.

[@GR20000]

​@@mixandmatch44 "For the reason why, in addition to the expressions of Christ and St. Paul (the bread in the Supper is the body of Christ or the communion of the body of Christ), also the forms: under the bread, with the bread, in the bread [the body of Christ is present and offered], are employed, is that by means of them the papistical transubstantiation may be rejected and the sacramental union of the unchanged essence of the bread and of the body of Christ indicated." - Wittenberg Concord of 1536 Lutherans aren't transubstaintianists, far as I can tell, but something far closer Consubstantiation than transubstantiation. That is to say, it's self evident that the bread does not become physical flesh and the wine physical blood by mere observation (and remember, we are told the truth of divinity is revealed through nature as well as through revelations), and assuming the bible is True, one can not then interpreted that the transformation is 100% literal. That is to say, that something certainly is happening, but that it is not the transformation of gluten to flesh and of juice to blood.

Transubstantiation and consubstantiation are excessively high views of the Lord's supper (to the point of idolatry) and Zwingli's memorialism is too low a view of the Lord's supper. Calvin's spiritualism is the balance between the extremes. There is a "real presence" in the Lord's supper.

@@GermanFreakvb21 Did I call Pezel a Lutheran? Nope, I sure didn't, so I'm not sure what your point is. He could be an atheist for all it matters, he allegedly reported some words of Luther and he was either lying or he wasn't. I pointed to a Lutheran Quarterly article that points out the story while calling out issues with it, but also makes a case for the story being plausible noting both Reformed and Lutheran scholars that accept the story, as well as makes a case for why (whether or not it is true) that it wouldn't be surprising if Luther did respond favorably. That is perhaps even more interesting than whether the story itself is true, as the story doesn't get into details as to why Luther supposedly responded favorably. It's hilarious to me that you feel the need to cast even more shade on it and do so in the most irrelevant way (ad hominem, he's a "Calvinist" so we can't trust it, despite it being reported in a Lutheran publication) when I was already very forward with the fact that this isn't a sure thing and proffered many of the issues brought up in the article itself.

I mean, sure if that's how you interpret it. That's not in the least what Calvin said though. He was saying that Jesus died for all those who believe in him, regardless of race or location etc. I.E. Jesus died for all the peoples of the world, not every individual human being. If you believe that he died for every individual human being then why does anyone go to hell? His blood is certainly able to cleanse everyone regardless of sin. It's a theological dissagreement that I think you can disagree on respectfully, but I do not like people trying to seriously claim we don't believe that Jesus died for all the world; we do believe that, we just disagree on what "dying for all the world" means. It's extremely arrogant and self-righteous to say that because someone has a different interpretation of a verse they are denying the verse altogether. No one has everything right about the bible, including Cavlanists, including Lutherans, it's important to note and understand that having a perfect understanding of the bible isn't what makes you a Christian. That's not to say you shouldn't try to understand the bible to the best of your ability, but merely to say that people are going to disagree on the meaning of certain things and THAT'S OKAY. Lutherans and Calvanists agree on more than we disagree on. I don't have a problem with this video, as it's Lutheran Satire and just making fun of people.

Still, given you've only got a few minutes you can only go so far with something like this. Nice video!

[@TheologyOnFire]

The dialogue between the Lutheran and the Reformed (specifically Calvin's contemporaries) over the Lord's Supper was never about WHETHER OR NOT we partake of Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament, but rather HOW we partake of it. Calvin held that it was not in the "corporeal" or bloody sense, yet truly made present to the faith of the believer. Luther held that it was physical. Please don't lump all Calvinists in with the Zwinglians. Zacharias Ursinus, the chief author of the Heidelberg Catechism, studied under both Luther and Calvin. Lutherans and confessional Calvinists have much more in common than some of us may like to think.

Thank you! When I started learning about Lutheran theology, I was surprised that the gap between it and Reformed Theology is as wide as it is given that both Lutherans and Calvinists hold Luther in high regard, but I was even more surprised how much wider Lutherans think the divide really is. Every Lutheran seems to think Calvinists are Zwinglists and refuse to listen when you correct them.

[@josephwolcott2544]

Very funny and well done (speaking as a Reformed guy)! One minor point of clarity here, though, aside from the comedy. Calvin did not deny the "real presence" in the Lord's Supper. Both Calvinists (in the historical sense, not the modern sense) and Lutherans believed that Christians truly receive Christ's body in the Supper, but they disagreed on how. Luther taught that Christ's body must be physically present (very similar to the Catholic view, but the bread and wine did not cease to be those. Rather, Christ's body was joined "in, with, and under" the bread). Calvin believed that Christ's body is not physically present in the bread (he wrote several treatises in which he examined the scripture and drew out several exegetical reasons why local presence did not make sense), but Christians truly feast on Christ's body through faith and the mysterious working of the Holy Spirit. Again, great video, I share the Lutheran dislike of Zwingli and Henry VIII, but it is a somewhat unfair presentation of Calvin (though I will concede that there is a growing number in modern Reformed circles who are closer to Zwingli than Calvin). "I am not satisfied with the view of those who, while acknowledging that we have some kind of communion with Christ, only make us partakers of the Spirit, omitting all mention of flesh and blood. As if it were said to no purpose at all, that his flesh is meat indeed, and his blood is drink indeed; that we have no life unless we eat that flesh and drink that blood; and so forth." -John Calvin, "Institutes of the Christian Religion", Book 4, Chapter 17, Section 7

Lutherans see Calvinist as just Zwinglian Sacramentarians. Read the Book of Concord: The Formula of Concord: Epitome, art. VII if you want to see what Lutherans think of Zwinglians and Calvinist. Lutherans have zero appreciation for either one of those characters.

[@josephwolcott2544]

@@P-el4zd I understand that Lutherans don't think highly of Calvin and the Reformed. My only point is that this painting of the Reformed isn't accurate to what Calvin and the Reformed believed.

[@P-el4zd]

@@josephwolcott2544 It is was totally accurate (not to mention the heresy of “once saved always saved, also know as the preservation of the saints, and heresy of double predestination). Formula of Concord: Epitome, art. VII The Teaching of the Sacramentarians on This Article [2] In the Holy Supper are the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ truly and essentially present, distributed with the bread and wine, and received by mouth by all those who avail themselves of the sacrament-whether they are worthy or unworthy, godly or ungodly, believers or unbelievers-to bring believers comfort and life and to bring judgment upon unbelievers? [3] The sacramentarians say no; we say yes. To explain this controversy, it must first of all be noted that there are two kinds of sacramentarians. There are the crude sacramentarians (***Zwinglians***), who state in plain language what they believe in their hearts: that in the Holy Supper there is nothing more than bread and wine present, nothing more distributed and received with the mouth. [4] Then there are the cunning sacramentarians (***Calvinist***), the most dangerous kind, who in part appear to use our language and who pretend that they also believe in a true presence of the true, essential, living body and blood of Christ in the Holy Supper, but that this takes place spiritually, through faith. Yet, under the guise of such plausible words, they retain the former, crude opinion, that nothing more than bread and wine is present in the Holy Supper and received there by mouth. [5] For “spiritually” means to them nothing other than “the spirit of Christ” that is present, or “the power of the absent body of Christ and his merit.” The body of Christ, according to this opinion, is, however, in no way or form present, but it is only up there in the highest heaven; to this body we lift ourselves into heaven through the thoughts of our faith. There we should seek his body and blood, but never in the bread and wine of the Supper …

[@josephwolcott2544]

@@P-el4zd (1) You can say it's accurate all you like, but that doesn't make it so. All that you have proven is the point I already conceded, that Lutherans really don't like the Reformed. I would encourage you to read what Calvin, Vermigli, and others wrote to know what they actually believed as opposed to taking the summary of a critic to be absolute truth. (2) Perseverance of the saints and double predestination are not heresies. You don't have to agree with them. You may think they're an inaccurate interpretation of Scripture but they are not contrary to orthodox doctrine. Furthermore, we should be careful not to reduce the definition of "heresy" to "things I disagree with" (as you seem to be effectively doing).

[@P-el4zd]

@@josephwolcott2544 Yes, “once saved always saved” and double predestination are heresies. I’ve read John Calvins. It reads as if a lawyer wrote it. I don’t spend a lot of time reading material of the heterodox. Institution of Christian Religion: Chapter XXI of the eternal election, by which God has predestinated some to salvation, and others to destruction. What a great great chapter. 🥴 In reality, there’s not much difference between Zwingli and Calvin. John Calvin wordsmith his heterodoxy to appear as if they don’t reject the real presence. All theology is Christology. Calvin and Zwingli used human reason to trump sacred scripture. All Zwingli and Calvin did was split the church further into a plethora of competing doctrines. I’m pretty sure that was not Luther’s intention. Calvinist love to claim Luther as their hero- Thanks, Luther; ra, ra, ra! Hail Dr. Martin Luther, for freeing us from the shackle of Rome for we can bushwhack our own doctrine! The irony, John Calvin sola Scriptura … as long as it’s my version of sola Scriptura. I haven’t even hit on the “office of the keys” and Calvinist and Zwingli’s rejection of the sacrament of absolution (e.g. Private confession and general confession). Just imagine, going your whole life without going to private confession (to be fair, a lot of Lutherans don’t always practice private confession like they should) as if they don’t have anything to confess.

[@jackothic5040]

As a pretty much Baptist I was trying to figure out what was the big difference between Baptist theology and Lutheran theology and then I saw this video and I remember why. I still love your stuff and support you guys, even tho this video fully disagrees with what I believe.

[@P-el4zd]

There is a substantial theological divide between confessional Lutheranism and Baptist theology. Confessional Lutherans are sacramental and liturgical. Lutherans never abolished the Mass, we adhere to a minimal of three sacraments; Holy baptism (baptismal regeneration), private confession & Holy absolution, the real corporeal present of the body and blood in the Eucharist for the forgiveness of sins, etc.

[@kaleblam5084]

Historians agree that this is 100% accurate

[@stevendahl5189]

This probably wouldn’t be a good time to mention that Luther, in the last years of his life, when he saw Calvin’s work on the Lord’s Supper stated that he agreed and “entrusted to him the whole matter.”

[@sk00k]

As it has been said on another comment on this video, It's a good thing it's Sola Scriptura and not Sola Luther.

Source?

[@oracleoftroy]

@@Mygoalwogel I saw another comment mention this with a bit more detail, giving an actual quote said to be from Luther. The best source I could find is: www.google.com/books/edition/_/tQtIAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA355&dq=%22Christopher+Pezel%22+%22This+is+certainly+a+learned+and+pious+man%22 It notes that we don't at that time have any direct writings from Luther, but that it is probably true, and they note various reasons why in the footnote and in the follow up text. And it is from a Lutheran source, so if there was good reason to doubt the quote, I'd think they would reject it.

[@kalizari]

I usually enjoy LutheranSatire and though there were some disagreements I had with this video, I still enjoyed it and had a good chuckle. That being said, Luther didn't have perfect theology, as I don't, and also as no one else on earth does. Labeling anything other than what Luther believed as false doctrine is itself false doctrine. I'm very thankful that God used him as an instrument to return the Church to its original roots from the RCC corruption, which is what we know as the 5 Solas, but we must know the Church is ever reforming. We won't know perfect theology for now we see in a mirror dimly, but soon face to face. Happy Reformation Day, brethren! Let's not bicker over secondary and tertiary doctrine, and rejoice in God's work through Martin Luther!

[@RomGabe]

+kalizari - "Luther didn't have perfect theology, as I don't, and also as no one else on earth does." Have you heard of the BookOfConcord, the lutheran confessions ? Check it out. Pure 100% Gospel: bookofconcord.org/

[@RomGabe]

+kalizari - you said "Let's not bicker over secondary and tertiary doctrine" Do you consider the Sacraments, God's visible Means of Grace secondary or even tertiary. The Means of Grace: Word & Sacrament is what God gave to the Church and we should treasure it as we find Life, Forgiveness and Salvation in these. holy Baptism = Jesus, holy Communion = Jesus, spoken & read Word are all about JESUS (OT & NT). A 5 solas Lutheran.

[@kalizari]

RomGabe The Book of Concord may be great for confessions, but I wouldn't say the theology is perfect. I believe the Westminster Confession is great and the London Baptist Confession is great too, but I won't say any of those have perfect theology. I see it would be a problem to exalt man made (though biblically inspired and based no doubt) creations.

[@kalizari]

RomGabe I do not see those as primary doctrinal beliefs, mainly because if I don't believe in them the say way you do, it doesn't automatically disqualify me as a Christian. I believe in predestination, but an Arminian isn't automatically a heretic. Now if I denied grace alone through faith alone, then that would be a primary doctrinal issue. Like I said. No one has perfect theology. We'll know everything 100% thoroughly on the other side of the veil. Have a great day!

[@RomGabe]

+kalizari ... Nobody said you are not a Christian. But when you deny holy Baptism to a certain age group, when you deny Christs words of Institution, you are in fact, in a pragmatic way denying Sola Gratia. Because holy Baptism and holy Communion is pure Grace, God's Means of Grace for us sinner. They are something that gives forgiveness of sins ... as Holy Writ clearly states "baptized for the forgiveness of sins ... for you and your children" (Acts 2:38-39), "This is my body ... my blood ... for your ... for the forgiveness of sin". Blessings as you trust in God's gifts given thru Word & Sacrament. A 5 Solas lutheran
