now now praus....it's always useful to have a thread where disgruntled folks cans air their true colors.

the "non-denominational" Hebrew Roots denominations; and apparently some Pentecostals need to let off some steam.

if they believe LCMS is a group of Pharisees - a daughter of the Great Harlot 1st Century Jerusalem - let us hear the irony of the matter.
Ohhhhh, I missed the Jerusalem vs. Rome difference--this is sublime comedy!

And I was sure that you and I were on Ignore, we're a "clique"...
:rolleyes:

I have had several people who seem to be a clique on ignore for some time.

"Hebrew" Roots...

Heb 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec

Heb 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

sorry. you okay now?
k.....stay calm.

Praus, don't sacrifice a soul for a denomination.
Do you honestly think any Lutheran church represents Martin Luther?
Papal Bull? Really?
You are sending out a Papal Bull against Red Tent?
Are you the pope?
Holy Praus.
Pious Praus the XIV.
Holy relic of elixer.
Pope Pontiff of Christ's Bloody Sacrament within his satin under pants.....
High Peter Pope Praus, he of the holy underwear and ruby encrusted golden goblets........
Let us all pray for mercy to Pope Praus and his highly exalted head of state.......

- Alright, I'm out of effigies.

Haahaahaahaahaahaahaahaa!!!! I know where yer goin' wit dat one!!!! I thought of her as soon as I read it!!:p
Titus 1
7For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined...

Well ... let's all give thanks and praise for Jack's "prayerful and much considered determination" without which, one could easily conclude that he is simply looking for and seizing any opportunity he can find to discredit Zone, an LCMS member.
Pathetic... The OP is just a hit piece directed at zone. Now all of the character assassins are jumping in.

Yes, I believe in a Papal Seed that anoints certain important souls with Holy Water.
I basically get out a lawn hose...I figure the more the merrier.
Then I lead a pigfeast, to show we are N.T. - the catch is......I do it on friday.
Then we have a voluntary bris.

so would you as a pastor or elder administer the bread and wine to an unrepentant homosexual couple?

or someone you knew to be an active Freemason?

or would you ask that they speak to you next time BEFORE the service?

...

oh that's right....you'd make sure they said the sinner's prayer first. would that Roman Road leading (5 minutes before Communion?) include:

Romans 10:9-10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Acts 2:38
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

?

or no....would the freemason have to fast and pray for the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues first?
dunno....you tell me.

Hahaha.
First the supper is not 'administered' like flu shot.
- It's a meal.
Second, I would never forbid anyone from feasting at the Lord's Supper.

See, you don't seem to get it, the word 'unworthily' means a description of an action.
To do anything 'unworthily' is to act.
I know you won't get this, but apostle Paul was admonishing the believers to respect the Lord's supper, not glutton, not get drunk, share with those that have less. - etc. etc.

Ohhhhhh, Ahhhhh, no easy wikipedia.....
So actual labor intensive research might be necessary?

What shall we do? -> Host desecration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Host desecration is a form of sacrilege in Christianity (most frequently identified as such in the traditions of Anglicanism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, and Roman Catholicism) involving the mistreatment or malicious use of a consecrated host—the sacred bread used in the Eucharistic service or Mass. ...

Yes, I do get direct revelation that you are religious in a pious way.
I notice you tend to judge .
Yet that isn't so much a revelation as a plain observable fact.

it is?

1 Corinthians 11
The Lord’s Supper
17But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,d 19for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. 22What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

23For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is fore you. Do this in remembrance of me.”f 25In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.g 31But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplinedi so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

33So then, my brothers,j when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

Second, I would never forbid anyone from feasting at the Lord's Supper.
enough said.

See, you don't seem to get it, the word 'unworthily' means a description of an action.
To do anything 'unworthily' is to an action.
I know you won't get this, but apostle Paul was admonishing the believers to respect the Lord's supper, not glutton, not get drunk, share with those that have less. - etc. etc.
you don't seem to understand the difference between the feast and the Lord's Supper.

....

so would you as a pastor or elder administer the bread and wine to an unrepentant homosexual couple?

or someone you knew to be an active Freemason?


Second, I would never forbid anyone from feasting at the Lord's Supper.
well that's on you i guess.
for not discerning - for their sakes.

You are smart Praus, but we should forgive.
Always err on the side of forgiveness, for God forgave us.
Zone is good people.

The last thing anyone needs is a digital spanish inquisition.

i'm still waiting for documentation on ANY of it.
apparently it's not needed....in this case.

This church has decided that they are infallibly correct in every interpretation of the bible, that they are the only people who are correct. Their members may not visit another church. All of this, they say, is contained in their book called Book of Concord. If any member even visits another church, they would seem to agree with the doctrines of that church and be against God for every church has some errors in interpretation but them. Most Lutherans are not a member of the Missouri Synod for this reason.

Their ministers are not even allowed to be part of any civil gathering, like when ministers unite in a council meeting.

In the bible it states that Co 12:13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. That one spirit comes through Jesus Christ, not the Missouri Synod Lutheran.

We can know members of this universal church by their love for each other.
Joh_13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Most Lutheran Churches include these doctrines, but not the Missouri Synod.
