    ThisDogDoneGone

    ThisDogDoneGone is one of Jesus' most loyal supporters and a firm believer in Scripture and communing with Jesus rather than God when praying. As a Lutheran, I believe in the Trinity, but with a personal challenge that has made life nearly unliveable for me, as I could not use the word "God" in...

    Can LCMS Lutherans Attend Other Church Services, Pray with Other Christians?

    Hello. I’ve been interested in Lutheranism for a long time. There is a good LCMS church near the town where I just moved, as well as a good WELS church. One area I have always struggled with regarding these two denominations is their relationship with other Christians. I know that LCMS and...

    This is what Christian Worship Should Look Like

    I thought about posting this thread in Traditional Theology, where I have posted collections of thrilling liturgical worship before, however, recently I have added to my collection several worship services which are not liturgical, even if they are broadly speaking liturgical, or are from...

    Lutherans, Baptism, Falling Away in Book of Hebrews

    Hello All. I've been interested in Lutheranism for a long time, but I have not joined a Lutheran church. One of the things that has kept me from joining the Lutheran Church is a passage in the Book of Hebrews and how it relates to baptismal regeneration. How do Lutherans understand Hebrews...

    Beautiful churches, vestments, sacred music and liturgies

    There have been some unpleasant threads lately for those of us in the Traditional Theology community, and it occurred to me it might be quite nice to invite my friends who participate in this forum, who include but are not limited to @MarkRohfrietsch @public hermit @concretecamper @prodromos...

    Happy Ascension Day

    Once again I find myself recommending a liturgy from All Saints Margaret Street, the excellent Anglo Catholic parish in London that historically rivals St. Magnus the Martyr (I greatly wish St. Magnus would livestream their services so we could do a comparison): Also, here is a good...

    Protest-ants

    There a very small Lutheran denomination called the Protest-Ants, which broke off from WELS over a minor theological dispute, which has at most six parishes, of which only one appears to have a substantial congregation. Are any of you familiar with this denomination and its beliefs? I don’t...

    What Eucharistic Prayer Is This?

    At this lovely Reformation Sunday service held at Old North Church, a Eucharistic prayer was used which didn’t seem to correspond to any in the 1979 BCP. I even looked at Common Worship. Perhaps I missed something. The priest did say he and many congregants were originally of Lutheran...

This woman’s ex is a non-attending member of the church, and he only became a member for the school tuition discount. This church has a...

    Billy Graham, And The Three Great Televangelists

    I thought, having recently felt compelled to state the following history in a few different topics, for those unfamiliar with the three great televangelists, Dr. James Kennedy, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, and Rev. Robert Schuller, or the important work done in the Soviet Union by Billy Graham, the...

    What should somebody fairly new to the UMC ask?

    Every first Sunday of the month, the pastors at the UMC have a time when, if people want to ask questions, they can come ask them and they will try to answer them to the best of their In the abilities. This would only be my third time asking stuff as this time is only held during Sunday School...

    ELCA and United Methodists Differences

    I keep trying to find the differences between ELCA and the UMC. I only find one major difference - that the UMC believes in becoming holy on this earth and has more of a focus on earthly works. However, they still believe in God's grace and that Jesus is the one who saves. They believe that...

    How Many Books Are in Your Bible? 66? 73? 81?

    I'm genuinely interested in hearing about how many books are in a canon. The number varies greatly. The Lutheran Position on this subject is unique. While today, especially in the West, Lutherans keep and utilize Bibles with the 66 standard Protestant books, Lutherans have never been...

    UPDATE: Curiosity about the Catholic/Orthodox Church
