Quick Vent

August 29, 2005 · Filed Under theology

Just a quick Monday-morning vent, in reaction to some contentions/false distinctions that I’ve read of late…

Lutheran = Christian

Christian = Lutheran

Thus, all in Heaven will be Lutherans.

There are Lutherans in every denomination, even if they don’t know that’s what they are.

I fully believe that the Lutheran Confessions are the clearest exposition/explication of Holy Scripture that has yet been put forth. If I didn’t believe that, then I shouldn’t call myself “Lutheran.”

None of this is sectarian in the least, and I’m amazed/baffled/disheartened that some would paint it as such. Such false charges will not, I pray, sway me from the Truth.

Amen.
