If you are struggling with sin then trust in God’s Grace and go to Him in humility and trust.
Lutherans Dont teach symbolism. Catholics come get your boy he is making you look foolish and incompetent and Leo is already doing that enough for you.
Replying to @RevIsaacWirtz
None of you have legitimacy to lecture us on Eucharist thelogy when you deny the Real Presence for an unbiblical symbolism. The consecrated host contains both species. The matter is closed. No contractions will be tolerated.
This is where the argument devolves into tyranny. Must there be an authority yes but the authority is God. Even Peter was challenged by Paul when Peter contradicted God.

Well let's take this disagreement to the local Church as the Bible subscribes. My local Chuech is Catholic, was founded by Christ himself, existed before yours, and says yours is wrong.
There must be an authority, it can't be you.
Catholics would have me believe that this is wrong.
Taste and see that the Lord is good! Hear Christ for you at kfuo.org.

Thank you Lord for this
Don’t be a stumbling block. It is amazing how hateful Catholics can be. Instead of reaching out and talking they say forget you. How many souls have they left for the devil where is faith working in love i fail to see it from Catholics here.

“Thank you Catholics for making sure I will never return to Rome.”
What an excuse: “Jesus, I won’t be a part of the Church YOU founded, because of random people on the Internet who I’ve never met.”
That conversation should go well.
😆
This is Catholics. They don’t listen to their own church. Hypocrites!
Replying to @Devilshero90
Luther had no authority taking from the biblical canon
You were never a Christian.
This seems to be the Catholic apologist lie of the month. Repeat the lie often enough and people will begin to think it’s the truth.
Pride, anger, hate and spite are these fruits of the spirit. Catholics hate their brothers and sisters in Christ. Why would I want to return to a home full of poison? Your fruits are as bitter as your tongue.

Sacraments? By ordained priests? How many? Wishing me grace and peace by calling me a Pharisee? No understanding of scripture. St Peter was a Catholic Pope. Sorry you are only play acting in a manmade religion. Repent. There is one bride. Come home.
You will know them by their fruits. Can’t even recognize the Saint Louis Seminary. The only benefit is knowing that these online warriors are silent as church mice in the real world.

Stolen building like in UK? It may look like a church but it’s just a building without any signs of Jesus’ life,save one. Sad looking. Not inspired to think of Our Lord nor His reason for becoming man. I know Lutherans on council who made Wednesday as Sunday to free weekends. 🤦🏻♀️
Going to start muting Catholics. They have no arguments they strawman and it gets really boring when they damn you to hell for being a Lutheran which they have no authority to do. Thank you Catholics for making sure I will never return to Rome.
Nope but again without strawman what argument would you have. Tired of this dribble by a psychotic catholi.
Replying to @Devilshero90
Right - that’s YOUR fallible interpretation.
The Modern USCCB uses the plural construction.
I don’t object to any of the particular translations.
I object to (1) the characterization that “she” is a mistranslation or that (2) the Mother of God could not crush the serpent’s head.
And here we have it all Lutherans are damned to hell including my family. People wonder why I have nothing but contempt for these Pharisees.
Scripture is quite clear that one does not accept Christ by rejecting His Church.
That you perceive sharing this Truth as polemical is odd.
1 Corinthians 11:22 “Do you not have houses in which you can eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and make those who have nothing feel ashamed? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I do not praise you.”
Luke 10:16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” (Christ to Disciples).
Acts 9:31 The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the holy Spirit it grew in numbers (Ekklesia Kata Holos).
1 Timothy 3:15 “Church of the Living God, the pillar and bulwark of the Truth.”
Matt 10:40 “who receives you received me, and receives Him who sent me.”
Matt 16:18-19 (Jesus gives Peter keys to the Kingdom)
Matt 18:17 “if he refuses to listen to them let him be as a . . . tax collector”
Matt 18:18-20 (binding and loosing; authority given to Apostles).
John 20:23 (Jesus gives Apostles the authority to forgive sins)
2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 “if anyone refuses to obey what we say . . . warn him as a brother”

Do you plow a field with a tractor shame on you for putting an ox out of work. This ridiculous virtue signaling is hard to stomach. But just give it a century and the Good Father will be baptizing cyborgs lol
Now to Rome is all they preach. It’s almost as if they worship Rome as Muslims worship Mecca 😂😂😂

"Is Christ only to be adored? Or is the holy Mother of God rather not to be honoured? This is the woman who crushed the Serpent's head.”
Martin Luther
Oof
You misquoted Genesis 3:15 it says He will crush its head and it will strike His heel. This is incredibly disturbing to see from a fellow Christian
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the most venerated creature in Scripture.
(A) Marian Prophecy in the Old Testament

Luke 2:6-7 “While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn son.[c]She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
Matthew 1:16 “Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.”
(C) Mary As Intercessor
John 2:1 (IHS works Miracle at Cana at Mary’s request)
(D) Marian Assumption prefigured in OT and supported in NT
Genesis 5:23-24 (Mary’s Assumption prefigured through Enoch’s assumption)

Luke 1:42 “blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb”
