I walked away from that organization just before their Lutheran Social Services started importing Somalis and making huge profits. They ruined Minnesota forever. Sold out their neighbors for the proverbial 30 pieces of silver.
Martin Luther believed people should read the bible. The scripture was important and that's all they should really need. He preached in various churches but thought that people would read the bible and make church less important.
Churches are just social cohesion anyway. Set up churches and just take turns reading some bible passages from the lectern. Serve or coffee tea afterwards and give it some networking like catchy word title.
It would work as long as there was a core group tasked with steering the coffee talk away from faggotry without ever letting on they were doing that deliberately. The liberals that wander in would either go away or change. Humans would catch on faster and stay and help.
You could run it out of a basement
Put up a cross on the outside and get a 501 c in to pay yourself rent and you're good
I don't understand churches in this age. In the apst, they were a central point for community. Now, with community destroyed, we need the underground, hidden networking that gives us a place and reminds us that god loves us, and that his son died for our sins. We are Shriven, Forgiven and Blessed.
And we have that.
In the real world, we get to meet others, talk to them, and share our stories. And say HIS name.
The perversions of these degenerate fucks, blaspheming in the empty relics of a past civilisation just fuel the fires, and destroy the comfortable somnambulance of the remaining boomers.
I used to belong to LCMS. Anymore I think the only Christians who may have it mostly right are Eastern Orthodox. Their take on the bible and the Word is the only one I have seen not riddled with contradictions.
Most of the history of Protestants is full of heresies even worse than Catholics. But I would not expect such an anti-Christ church as the Roman Catholics to spawn anything not corrupt. Western Christianity has persisted despite the clergy.
I don't draw any authority from Luther. I'm simply relating information based on things said by Luther.
Like most others, I was reading the Bible myself long before I gave a shit who Luther was.
The Bible was written for me to read. It was written for anyone to read. It's a book with words in it. You have an yen to be an absolute authority have no authority to back up your stupid claims, and even if you did, who the fuck cares. Nobody has any reason to recoginze any authority over printed words if they know how to read.
Typical erstwhile dictator. Nobody told you you own the bible and control what's done with it, but you'd like to be the one that does. Some shitty crappy Christian you are calling people stupid. Did you read that in the commandments, or did your authority preacher just forget to tell you not to do that?
Obviously you want to be a preacher. This isn't an appropriate place for it. Go preach. But be aware that in the entire history of humanity differences of opinions have been part every aspect. What you have is an opinion, and unless you figure out an acceptable of way of phrasing your opinion you'll be just be another preacher no different than 50 thousand others.
Oh nad by the way, the idiocy and pig headed narrow minded assumption that I'm a Lutheran is a huge strike against your insight or ability to interpret anything.

1. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.
2. Male and female He created them, and He blessed them.
