I have made the jump.

[Colabomb]

Although I don't know if I agree with 100% of Lutheran Doctrine (I don't know 100% of Lutheran Doctrine in the first place lol) I realized that I agree enough on what I do know.

I made the jump.

Welcome to true Christianity.

[Colabomb]

Remember, Luther himself said that there are Christians in other bodies (not separated Bretheren either, true real Christians).

[Colabomb]

What convinced me was the view of the Scriptures.

The Roman Catholics/Orthodox/Anglicans say "Scripture and"

The Fundementalists say "Scripture is it, anything else is evil".

The Lutherans say, "The Scriptures are the Highest Authority, and anything that contradicts it is lies. But we are also not going to throw away 1500 years of Christianity either."

[cableguy]

well, from one relativley new Lutheran to another, welcome buddy.

CB,

I didn't say there weren't any true Christians in other church bodies, but was being facetious because many in the Lutheran church believe that only we have the truth.

It was said with tongue-in-cheek.

Someone leaving Anglicanism for another church? Who'd have thought? ;)

Go with God, CB!!:wave:

[LilLamb219]

This is wonderful news :) Dig in to God's Word and then read the Lutheran Confessions and discover you're in the right place :D

[ctay]

A big welcome!!!! God bless you.

Welcome to Lutheranism. Now the big question: which synod? ;)

[Colabomb]

So are you going to stop asking me 1001 questions a day? btw clean your room.
LOL!

No, I still have questions. I always have questions.

[Colabomb]

Welcome to Lutheranism. Now the big question: which synod? ;)
More conservative.

The Church we are at now is independant.

[SPALATIN]

LOL!

No, I still have questions. I always have questions.

I noticed that you evaded the request er demand that you clean your room. Whatever happened to Honor thy father and mother? ;)

I do honor my Father AND my mother.

I heard only one of them ;)

(I suddenly feel like a biblical literalist :))

[Victrixa]

Congratulations Colabomb... Ahhh I almost envy you.... (or I envy Anglicans or Old Catholics) :)

God bless you on your journey.

WAIT A MINUTE!...what do you mean Lutheran aren't the only Christians?...I'm flabbergasted!...where's the MOD's when you need them?...

[C.F.W. Walther]

LOL Redneck

Welcome Colabomb, just remember that within the Lutherna church there are also differant opinions on who is MORE correct. In depth study of LCMS, ELCA, WELS, etc. need to be questioned according to God's word and Luther's and CFW Walthers writings. Of course the Bible is the final "WORD".








:confused:

[MORTANIUS]

Among the questions you asked in these forums. Which provided you with a sense of truth and understanding?

Was it anything that was answered that made you learn more about the Lutheran Church or was it something else?

Just curious.

[Colabomb]

What happened is I was working out a question about ecclesiology with my father, and he said "Look, We go here to find the answer" referring to a bible."

And I realized, he's right.

It is the Lutheran View of the Bible that got me.

[alban]

Well Colabomb, we're going to miss you!

Darn those pesky Lutherans! :mad: ;)

[Colabomb]

Well Colabomb, we're going to miss you!

I'll still be around, I still have a bank to run!

And a pub to visit!

And some old anglican friends to talk with!

[SPALATIN]

Well Colabomb, we're going to miss you!

Darn those pesky Lutherans! :mad: ;)

Alban,

I don't recall that we went after Colabomb. He came to us and asked ?s. We just answered him with the truth. God spoke to him and changed his heart. We would welcome you here as well.

Scott:)

[MORTANIUS]

Yes, come to the dark....I mean....we would welcome you as well ;)

[Jim47]

Welcome to The Lutheran Church Colabomb. I think its safe to say that The Good Lord was leading you the whole time. I hope to hear that someday you will become a Pastor :thumbsup:

Colabomb,

(Cool ID, BTW!:thumbsup: )

From reading some of your previous posts, I see that you were Reformed Anglican. I am curious how you have come to grips with Lutheranism having come from a Reformed tradition? I know some others who have done the same thing and still struggle somewhat with it.

I realized that the Trifold ministry is not Biblical. I don't think it is sinful, but it doesn't seem to be quite as Biblical as what the Lutherans Practice.

Reformed Anglicanism and Lutheranism are alot alike, it wasn't a big jump for me.

It is mainly a thing of ecclesiology.

One reason I asked is that I know a couple who came from a Reformed Episcopalian congregation that closed and joined the LCMS congregation here. They said that the LCMS church is the closest theologically to what they have come from, but they still have some issues with Real Presence (although not so much anymore), Baptism, OSAS, sovereignity of God, etc. I was curious abouit where you are on these issues.

I'm not sure that Reformed Anglican and Reformed Episcopal are necessarily the same thing, either.

I was REC, but I was at the higher end of the REC theologically.

Could you elaborate a bit on that for me? I'm not all that familiar with the REC.
