  "Waking up from an enchantment" is a good way to put it. Very accurate and well said.

  I'm not Lutheran but I find this pastor's speaking style to be highly engaging and entertaining, especially his anecdotes re: Orthodoxy.

  While at my last church I had to move out of state, and then had a couple other moves between then and now. I went to many churches and it still took me almost 25 yrs. to finally find a good, confessional Lutheran church to attend on a regular basis. I found one in the past year and I finally feel like I'm home again, but I was having such a hard time finding a good liturgical church I was getting frustrated and I was considering RCIA because while I'm not on board w/ a lot of what RC teaches, they were closest to the LCMS than all other Protestant denominations and all other Lutheran synods outside of Missouri or Wisconsin, and as much as I didn't want to, Catholicism was literally better than nothing and I needed to find a home for my spiritual growth.

  The first issue is the Paraklesis. Such a thing takes a lot of rationalizing away (in the name of context/paradigm mind tricks) to get past this, if you&apos;re honest with your conscience. <br><br>The second issue is, if you ever survey or listen to EO priests try to explain the Gospel, they really can&apos;t do it simply or consistently. Many EO even recoil if you say the words, &quot;Jesus died for our sins.&quot; What???!!! At least Lutherans can explain the Gospel clearly in line with how St. Paul clearly taught it. Christ crucified for us and risen again - justification by faith apart from works.<br><br>The third issue was how horribly Martin Luther is mischaracterized or lumped with Calvin or others whenever many &quot;educated&quot; EO priests comment on the subject. If they can be so clearly mistaken on really basic history, how wrong are they on other basics?<br><br>It&apos;s the Gospel of the Cross which Paul explained so clearly with so much ink that is paramount. You have to be able to say without reservation or qualification: &quot;Jesus died for the sins of the whole world and we are justified by faith apart from works.&quot; Begin there and find whoever is closest, even if they don&apos;t sing/dance like old Lutherans. The LSB has at least one Calvary Chapel hymn and a ton of Wesleyan hymns. We&apos;ll be OK!

  This ELCA Lutheran wants to know which Lutheran church are you discussing: ELCA or LCMS?

  Maybe this came up because I used to be a Lutheran before my conversion to the Catholic Church.<br><br>The veneration of Mary comes from plain theology. If Jesus became Man through Mary, then He comes to us through Mary. We have a relationship with God because Jesus is Man. He has united Himself to us through His humanity &amp; the person in which He shares flesh is Mary. <br><br>Therefore, we can ask Mary to bring us to her Son in a redemptive manner. Eve brought Adam the fruit and now Mary, the New Eve brings us to the Fruit of Her Womb &amp; of the Cross (Tree).<br><br>Btw, there’s lots of material error in the Augsburg confession. One very misleading one is the quote of St. Gregory the Great on the universal Bishop to say the Pope is the antichrist. St. Gregory the Great was literally the Pope. By universal Bishop he meant a man claiming to be the only Bishop while all the other Bishops are just his deputies. The Catholic Church has never taught that the Pope is the only valid Bishop. He’s one Bishop of many who has Authority to Teach &amp; Govern the Church. <br><br>At the end of the day, a Lutheran should become an Apostolic Christian because of what the meaning of “Apostolic” means in the Creed. If Lutherans do not mean “Apostolic Succession” when they say “Apostolic” in the Creed then they are changing the meaning of the word and holding to a new Creed. The Bible &amp; all the Fathers teach that in order to be in the True Church, one needs a Bishop (in Communion with the Bishop of Rome). Clearly observed as Paul lays hands on Timothy &amp; Titus making them Bishops.
