I am a member of the Lutheran church from the synod LBC. And agree w/ you, while such terms as real presence are not used an emphasis on "is" is made, for example "this is my body or this is my blood". Whereas Reformed Presbyterians believe Jesus is exalted by the right-hand side of the Father...

Yes, most certainly. Catholics believe in Baptismal Regeneration and Reformed do not. For example, the WCF states: V. Although it be a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance,a yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it, as that no person can be regenerated or saved...

Never claimed Baptist are Anglican. What I had attempted to convey was the Protestant Reformation historically hadn't anything to do with any controversy in the Church of England. I wanted to point that out in the context of the article I had written because many today and the information being...

In other words the Church of England and whatever protests against it are not historically considered the Protestant Reformation.

Don't blame me for your lack comprehension. In context, "I also use the term Reformed, to communicate historical Reformers in the context of protesting the Roman Catholic church and not the Church of England (Baptist). Perhaps, the historical context is why Reformed call Baptist which adhere to...

Why not suggest the church is universal or catholic which confesses the early ecumenical creeds containing and emphasizing the essentials of the faith. Unbelievers are not my concern, since the garden of Eden Satan has always been among us and within the walls of our assembly. Paul in...

Whatever that means.

My point is surely not relativism or that the Roman Catholic church is the standard by which truth is measured. And what is the church? Define church: denominations, sects, cults, and apostates. Why use Scripture if Scripture isn't the authority in such matters. Why not ask a cult?

If the principle of Sola Scriptura as well Christology are practiced, then the OT is interpreted through the lens of the NT. In other words, the interpreters and their interpretation are in the Scriptures and do not require the peer review of modern-day commentators or institutions. Granted...

If G-d cannot be taken for his word, then why take the word of any man in his name? Apostolic succession claims the succession of the apostles, and the apostles were gifted w/ the same gift as the prophet (revelation). And gifts were granted the apostles for a time of building up the church to...

Right here in this forum on the topic of Sola Scriptura I note the Catholic position that the church is the sole interpreter of Scripture. Likewise, I questioned whether Catholics believe some power conferred by the priest is transferred in the sacrament of baptism. Regardless of whether the...

I cannot speak for him but wouldn't mind reframing the question. Was Immanuel or Jesus from the line of David and heir to the throne of the Davidic dynasty?

Some people believe Satan had seen the potential of mankind and became envious. Question is, potential to what end?

I believe he is pointing out that Jew is a general term. Jews followed Jesus, were his disciples, his apostles, began and filled the first churches, and today some do not give up their Jewish lineage and believe Jesus was the Messiah, they are Messianic Jews. Unfortunately, the older brother...

Reminds me of Samuel, particularly Ramah when the men of Saul went to apprehend David and came back empty handed because they were caught up in the Spirit of the L-rd. Undoubtedly, there are noble devout Jews. Salvation was for the Jews first and then the Gentiles. Sometimes Gentiles want to...

Wasn't until around the 7th century.

Satan has many names and I believe from my studies each name like G-d describes each of his attributes. For example, Lucifer, or the morning star, he can appear as an angel of light. He's the serpent of old, the adversary, the great counterfeiter etc etc. Satan appears to have gone through a...

I just read about the order to remove transvestites from the military steps taken to limit medical treatment for gender dysphoria (sexual immorality) will be put into effect. I think these are necessary and good steps, because if labeled a mental illness such individuals could be medically...
