Sola Scriptura?

[ByzantineDixie]

Very true. I was once told (when I was Lutheran) that if you fail to wake upin the morning and ask yourself why you are not Catholic, then you have ceased to be a Lutheran.

I have heard Arthur Carl Piepkorn, a professor at Concordia St. Louis Seminary pre-SEMINEX, taught this to his students.

EDIT: Whoops...I have misattributed this statement. This is not a quote of Arthur Carl Piepkorn. I have a reference that attributes the quote to Peter Brunner, a confessional Lutheran theologian.

But, in the end, I think many of these Lutherans end up going to Rome or Eastward... like myself.

Yes, many do--although I would speculate that for orthodox Lutherans theologically the leap to Eastern church is fairly minimal whereas the leap to Rome is more difficult as there are dogmatic obstacles there which are not present when looking East.

I went to a BEAUTIFUL monastery in Oxford, Michigan that is Lutheran.

I am from Michigan and I will be going on a retreat to this monastery (St. Augustine's House Lutheran Monastery ) in the spring or early summer-hopefully.

But, in the end, I think many of these Lutherans end up going to Rome or Eastward... like myself

Hey Rose, whats the chance of going Eastward?

Ok! Thanks for letting us know!

Peace in Him!

What I meant was that I respect you all too much to start a fight.

Pax Christi,
