As a Lutheran, and a Christian generally, I trust the tradition of the Church Catholic on matters doctrine and practice where it is not in opposition to the divinely inspired Scriptures.
@MetzUAC1530 Chasubles are mandatory, Methodist flag is banned, anyone who defames the Athanasian Creed, or any symbol of the faith, is disciplined severely absent sincere repentance
@___mithrandir_@becomelutheran@DarthHarryson Correct. I don’t understand the mindset that says “well it wouldn’t be 100% effective, and it may upset some people, so why even bother?” A lot of this mindset in the LCMS, obviously
Most lay Christians aren’t meant to encounter false doctrine every moment of every day. It kills peace and joy.
Would the Apostles approve of saints constantly immersing themselves in the teaching of gnostics, judaizers, and pagans?
Mark and avoid. Be at peace in the Lord.
