You have no idea what my Church teaches and it seems you could not give two shouts about it either. The Confessional Lutheran Church is all about the fulfilment of the law and the atonement won for all mankind through the sacrifice of my Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. The Sacraments and traditions of the Church handed down by faithful Christians long before your self defined do-it-yourself church of one was even thought of, are a manifestation and expression of the living Word of God that dwells among us and we within it. Unless you can open your mind to these things that are our inheritance form the great cloud of witnesses spoken of in Scripture.

If you are so blind that you can not see it, then I will pray for the restoration of your vision.

Maybe open your eyes to God and not religion.

I have friends, co-workers, and acquaintances who are very knowledgeable about cars. I really don't know anything about cars. So when I talk about cars I usually end up saying things that make it obvious that I don't know anything about cars.

Which means... what exactly? I'm reminded of that scene in Space Balls where Rock Moranis' character Dark Helmet says to Bill Pullman's character, "I am your father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate."

Maybe open your eyes to God and not religion.

True religion is God Incarnate (1 Timothy 3:16)

Yep

so it is not all the things we see in our churches. the religious ceremonies. the customs. and the theater type plays we see every Sunday.

It is God. and people getting together in his name, and as Paul said

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Thats the NT church in a nutshell. they met in peoples homes. Not glorious building. they studied the apostles doctrine, they Had fellowshio one with another. they Ate meals together which also taking the lords supper, and they prayed together

Itchy ears and eyes only see and hear what they want to. I'm starting to really understand why you despise those of us traditional Christians who are resolute in our faith. Like Donald Trump, keep talking and someone will think you know what your are talking about. Have at it; but I am not buying it.

You talk about "ceremony".

I'm talking about Jesus.
