So is it Biblical that the Lutheran or other a Protestant churches have the ability to, through the Trinity, confect the Host? In other words is there proof Biblically that the LCMS is also receiving Jesus, not just the RCC?

Thanks for your reply.

I’ve once heard ( or read ) it said by, I think a different priest, that they don’t have the power but that God works through them or something.

Then how do Lutheran pastors confect the Eucharist? By the power of the Holy Spirit?

No MAN has that power but my pastor says that the Holy Spirit whom he calls upon does.

Yes, but, despite transubstantiation not being in the Bible, Catholics believe the Host becomes Jesus, and the wine becomes His Blood, Lutherans believe that Christ and His Blood are”truly and substantially present in, with and under“ the bread and wine.

I was raised Catholic and heard this stuff all my life. I just want to know how someone who isn’t an ordained priest has the power to turn bread and wine into Jesus and his blood?

No, my MAIN point was the priests claim that Jesus can‘t be in the Eucharist unless it’s confected by a validly ordained priest.

Well the container we put the used cups in are decorative but I think they’re lined with trash bags

Are you referring to to my claim that the Lutheran pastor has invalid orders or what?

Off topic, but I saw this lamb online and took a screen shot of it because it’s adorbs. I’m not trying to copy you or anything. :)

I’ve been waffling lately between staying at my Lutheran LCMS church and returning to Catholicism. I made the decision to stay at the Lutheran church but here’s my question. I spoke with a Catholic priest who told me that only a priest with valid holy orders has the power to confect the...

I’m glad you finally had the surgery and all went well. The only two surgeries I’ve had that were concerning for me was a complete hysterectomy for possible cancer (it turns out it wasn’t cancer), by an gynecological oncologist and a basal cell carcinoma removed from my cheek by a...

Not sure how he did it because people were referring to him as a “pastor” before we met but a friend of ours claims to be one. He doesnt work at his own church or any church so I have no idea how he was ordained. My guess is he became a “pastor” online.

I would say that they need a lot of training and classes, then ordained by a Christian Church. I went to a non denominational church where the Pastor’s son was being ordained and all it basically amounted to was his dad and two or three other pastors (unsure of their qualifications) prayed over...

NIV SRudy Bible.

Yes, my hubby knows that I want my pastor to visit and for him to pray what Forgiven1 said.

Well, seeing what my friend is going through made me wonder what will happen to me as a Lutheran when it’s my time.

When I had surgery several years ago, I was still Catholic and I received Annointing of the Sick prior to the surgery.
