    Lutheran Only Lutherans: How can We do Better?

    I happen to agree with you, Josiah. There is a huge mission field we don't seem to be tapping very effectively and so we see all kinds of shrinkage in regards to Lutheranism. I guess the fact that our society has become so secular that people don't want to seem " holier than thou" and refuse to...

    Lutheran Only Lutherans: How can We do Better?

    https://medium.com/migration-issues/a-very-brief-history-of-american-lutheranism-be8b7a26fd59 I'm the first person in my family since my 3X great grandmother, Frances Montgomery Steinbrenner ( 1812- 1845) to be a Lutheran and I'm a convert. Nor is that story a unique one to my family. How can...

    Asking Loved Ones to Pray for Us

    Nothing wrong with that. I've benefited from the prayers of family and friends on my behalf all my life and I am firmly convinced that the Lord hears my petitions for others in their triumphs and struggles.

    For what purpose do denominations build icons and statues

    I'm sorry for intruding, but these are Dr. Martin Luther's words on the Invocation of the saints by way of the Smalcald Articles: Of the Invocation of Saints. 25] The invocation of saints is also one of the abuses of Antichrist conflicting with the chief article, and destroys the knowledge of...

    Why Become Protestant if You're Catholic?

    Those are all some pretty good points. The Truth to be found is to be found in God's Word, irrespective of the institution that presents it. I am no fan of relativism, either and I do find the weight of history to be on the side of the Reformers. There is no " basic minimum" in regards to Truth...

    Lizzie is converting

    Absolutely.. She kept insisting in her Catholic Apologetics ( Remedial) videos that she'd never become one. To be sure, 'twas a bit of a shock to learn ( not really).

    Studying. I did some research earlier on the Lutheran Reformation, but now I'm looking at the various Graduate Record Exam study guides that are free online.

    Why Become Protestant if You're Catholic?

    I was hoping to avoid that uncomfortable topic and I spent a few minutes trying to choose the words that I write with care, but you are correct. Historical revisionism does seem to be something that the RCC has indulged in, although some studies can easily disprove many of their claims. When...

    Why Become Protestant if You're Catholic?

    Fair enough. I'd say that the search for Truth is probably the most compelling reason for one to go from one faith tradition to another. Perhaps a Catholic found Truth in one of these Protestant traditions we are discussing? Then, of course, there's always the will of God ( another compelling...

    Why Become Protestant if You're Catholic?

    Yes, we all do and that is exactly why I brought this thread up. The Lord leads us to Him however it is that He pleases. The Holy Spirit making new movements in the hearts of believers may on occasion lead those believers away from the denominations that they grew up in.
