Here's a thread starter. Things we believe should or should not be adiaphora.

Radidio said:I can't get the link to work. Are you saying the Liturgy is NOT adiaphora? If you are then I have to agree. In content it is truly biblical and mandated but in specifics it isn't.
What do you mean by "form"?filosofer said:The form of the Divine Liturgy is adiaphora.
Luthers Rose said:What do you mean by "form"?
filosofer said:hmmmm, let's see.
TLH 5, TLH 15
LW 136 (Divine Service I), LW 158 (DS II, 1st Setting), LW 178 (DS II, 2nd Setting)
Luther's Deutsche Masse (DS III, LW p, 197)
The last one is quite different liturgically.
So which one is the Divine Service, if it is not adiaphoron [singular latin form]?
filosofer said:
And that is why I noted that the form of the Liturgy/Divine Service is adiaphoron.
Luthers Rose said:Hey filo...when I quote you my posts are all red and green...like Christmas.
SLStrohkirch said:...the word Adiaphora means that it is neither prohibited nor commanded by scripture.
filosofer said:
Well, technically not.
Adiaphora means "things indifferent" (adiaphoron is the singular), and refers to those things that are neither commanded nor prohibited in Scripture.
