Luther Was Error Free In Every Religious Doctrine

[John Yurich]

I'm curious, do you believe Luther was correct in his belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in Holy Communion? Also, even Lutherans are at odds with each other over the interpretations of The Book of Concord.

I accept the Lutheran doctrine of Holy Communion as being scriptural and thus Luther was correct in his belief in the Real Presence since it is totally different then the Catholic doctrine of Holy Communion. The Lutheran doctrine of Holy Communion states that Jesus is present in, with and under the bread and wine.

Martin Luther was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit as the result of him giving his life to Christ. And thus Luther was error free in every religious doctrine that he held and that he had in the Lutheran Church.

Wrong, Luther was not infallible!

 

[Walter]

No.

So, I am assuming you agree with his preferred mode for water baptism, although I know of no Lutheran church that does not pour water over the head of the candidate and instead of immersion. If I am not mistaken, a person may request immersion and then it is up to that particular Lutheran church as to whether to offer that mode.

I disagree with it being 'totally different than the Catholic doctrine'. But, I do believe that the Lutheran position is closer to what most Anglicans embrace. The Lutheran position seems to straddle transubstantiation and general sacramental protestantism in a way that makes it difficult to tell where the actual distinctions are.

So basically you are saying that Luther was a Lutheran Pope. I'm sure you are right.

How could such anti-Semitism come out of the error free Believer in every doctrines?

Was Martin Luther an Anti-Semite? | The Stream

Actually some thousands of Jews were killed because of his writings in 1543 before he died in 1546.

This is laughable.

 

[John Yurich]

This is laughable.

No it is not laughable. If Luther was saved because of having given his life to Christ then he was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and thus error free in terms of his religious doctrines that he established the Lutheran Church with. Every single Lutheran doctrine the Holy Spirit approves of since He was the one who guided Luther as to what doctrines to have in the Lutheran Church.

I suppose Luther was a Lutheran Pope.

 

[TCassidy]

No it is not laughable. If Wesley was saved because of having given his life to Christ then he was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and thus error free in terms of his religious doctrines that he established the Wesleyan Church with. Every single Wesleyan doctrine the Holy Spirit approves of since He was the one who guided Wesley as to what doctrines to have in the Wesleyan Church.

 

[John Yurich]

Absolutely correct.

 

[TCassidy]

No it is not laughable. If Smyth was saved because of having given his life to Christ then he was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and thus error free in terms of his religious doctrines that he established the Baptist Church with. Every single Baptist doctrine the Holy Spirit approves of since He was the one who guided Smyth as to what doctrines to have in the Baptist Church.

 

[TCassidy]

Absolutely correct.

Even when Wesley disagrees with Luther?

 

[John Yurich]

Even when Wesley disagrees with Luther?

Well no not in that instance.

 

[TCassidy]

Well no not in that instance.

LOL! ROFLOL!

I had the privilege to attend the National Convention of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod in Milwaukee last July. I must say that I have nothing but high respect for the witness of the LCMS in 'standing firm' on biblical truths that other protestants, including American Baptists, have rejected. I also was amazed at the celebration of the Eucharist (Divine Service) at the convention. I would have thought I was at a Pontifical High Mass (minus the Pontif, of course!) with the celebrants chanting the ancient liturgy from start to finish. The celebrant raised the host after the consecration and genuflected, the same with the chalice. I have no doubt that Lutherans know about the Real Presence even though we might disagree on defining it. I wish that Lutherans, Anglican, Orthodox and Catholics would just settle on the term Real Presence and agree to disagree on the rest of it. The Early Church Fathers had no problem knowing that Jesus is really present in the elements of communion. Jesus and Paul sure made it clear as well.

Martin Luther also believed in soul sleep.

This has to be one of the most bizarre threads I've ever come across. And that's saying a lot.

"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings"

Goo goo g'joob.....

 

[Eliyahu]

I believe ML was correct in Soul Sleep.

Soul Sleep is different from Soul Extinction.

Anabaptists believed it, Tyndale believed it.

Apparently, Revelation teaches the Soul Rest ( 6:11, 14:13)

RCC oppose to it vehemently
