The Day of Reformation

[JessicaFerns]

Roman Catholicism is the faith started by the Lord Jesus himself and came down through the Apostles. Your Martin Luther just to satisfy his lust broke away and formed protestant church which makes it a man made church. Not only that he later married a nun thus breaking the vows of celibacy which indicate clearly that he was frustrated to have sex. We need not visit your lutheran church since ours is the one founded by the Lord himself and not by any man to satisfy his lust.

@CIR229 We are not children of the pope. Why would you say such a thing, unless you have never been in a Lutheran Church. We are Bible-believing Christians. Although we are divided into synods, and one of those (the Evangelical Church in America) has made some very unwise decisions lately, that are not Biblical, the rest of the Lutheran Church has held fast to scripture. Please don't write about things you know nothing about--it shows your ignorancy! Praise Christ!!

Very interesting to see..seems to be good liturgy, and communon with reverence. And a bishop with the proper vestments, as it should be! I just don't understand why the liturgical color is red on the Reformation Sunday. Greetings from Sweden!

Praise to Jesus Christ in any manner or fashion! We ought to celebrate our unity in Christ rather than mock our differences in liturgical expression. The Russian-language Lutheran liturgy here is a direct adaptation of Luther's 1526 "Order of the German Mass." Luther sought to re-form and scripturally-ground the Mass in the language of the people. There is even a Ukrainian Lutheran Byzantine Liturgy which would absolutely horrify some rock-hearted Evangelical, Catholic and Orthodox believers.

lutheran church is a soft catholic church - b oth the same and or as bad as each other

The traditions of the Lutheran Church are apostolic and biblical, some even coming out of our premessianic Jewish history. Yes, we share a history with the Roman Catholic Church. That union dissolved when we refused to accept unChristian mandates of the papacy. Christ is our head.
