We don't pick on Zwingli enough on this app.

@WmWeedon @Acolyte_1 @WmWeedon - fun fact, I pastored Alma's granddaughter, Wendy in Orchard Park, NY. Most years she would go to visit grandma in Illinois. You don't forget when grandmothers in your parish go to visit THEIR grandmothers.

@LutheranAnswers Hey pray for the anons this week when you get bored.

@TheJollyBrawler If this account is run by a person who wants to learn about christianity, or confessional lutheranism, let me know and I'd be happy to connect you with a better method to ask your questions. I'm not sure these questions in this forum from an anonymous account are fruitful.

"Enjoy your walking together..."

Thanks be to God the apostles and fathers did not consider abandoning each other over the fact that they were all sinners. I emailed Pastor Ricard and explained my thoughts about his comments. I asked him to consider the offense he's given.

"I hate the Athanasian Creed. I think it's a terrible creed. You can disagree with me, but we're gonna put that aside . . . "

Joel Picard, pastor of Trinity Lutheran (LCMS) in Knoxville, Iowa.

Enjoy your "Walking Together," Missourians.

@TheJollyBrawler If the LCMS no longer requires quia subscription to the confessions, I can no longer remain in fellowship. This is the Confessional Lutheran stance. Is this anonymous account run by a christian? I can connect you to a local confessional lutheran pastor who can help you.

@TheJollyBrawler Is this anonymous account run by a christian? Not sure what level of teaching regarding biblical precedents for conflict resolution and reconciliation to offer you. Our synod ceases to exist if the Lutheran Confessions (including the three ecumenical creeds) are not upheld.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@TheJollyBrawler I will continue to seek reconciliation as I've already done.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@TheJollyBrawler I don't think so. I expect that the pastor will repent of flippant language that he didn't mean. Otherwise, he'll potentially resign or be removed and the synod system will have done exactly what it was meant to do.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@TheJollyBrawler No, it's a problem if any of us rejects the creeds or confessions. My point is that this is a feature of the synod, not a bug. We are here to call each other to walk faithfully.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@bonifacegroup Josh, don't your realize that your "group" or "society" is just a small synod? And that if you have any success in growing either by sharing the gospel or having more kids, you will encounter erring brothers?

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@jeremylatzke Everybody has to believe the Augsburg Confession exactly the way I do.

@PastorBenMeyer Got one of my ladies for $800 last week.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@LutheranAnswers Idiot. I bet you think we don’t have any writings that mention Jesus before the middle of the first century either.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@LutheranAnswers Mine’s at 07:00 saturdays!

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@PastorBenMeyer My favorite classical music movement right here. Awake, Sleeper!

@LutheranAnswers Wonky Honky

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

Dispensationalists have a duty to entertain Mormonism as a potential new revelation, right?

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@TheDonStein Or podcasts. Or conferences.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

I love being a pastor. It’s wonderful.

But sometimes I miss waking up on a Sunday with only the Eucharist on my mind. No business, nothing to do- only a gift to receive.

[Sam Fink @__smule__]

@_SextonRay Dm me.
