I can say that Lutherans tend to stay away from using the word "covenant" much, because it implies action on both sides. …"

Rev. Joshua V. Scheer replied to Thomas M's discussion Law and gospel question in the group Ask the Pastor"Mk 16:15 is law, as far as the Office of the Ministry is concerned, but it is Gospel for Christians (God providing the preaching of the Word for their salvation). This is the same as Mt 28:18-20, where it is Gospel for the Christian, but law for the…"
Rev. Joshua V. Scheer replied to Paul Thompson's discussion Decided Seminary over SMP. Now, which seminary? in the group Ask the Pastor"Paul,
I have met faithful pastors from Fort Wayne and St. Louis. They are two of the best places in the world to study the Word of God. First - I commend you for deciding to go to seminary - you and those who you will eventually serve (God-willing)…"
Rev. Joshua V. Scheer replied to Maria Jonsson's discussion Cursing by God's name in the Psalms? in the group Ask the Pastor"Maria,
Very good find - it is good to compare the catechism to the Scriptures. You are discussing something called the imprecatory Psalms. You give a good example in Ps 58. In your catechism, the section on cursing by God's name addresses our…"
Rev. Joshua V. Scheer replied to Greg Waldrop's discussion Who can forgive sins? in the group Ask the Pastor"Greg,
The exact formula of forgiveness does not matter, a Christian can forgive another privately, but the public forgiveness expressed in what you heard during the worship service is part of the office of the public ministry. That is why in some…"

Sorry this question hasn't been answered yet. I attended the Fort Wayne LCMS seminary three years ago (under the "old" curriculum). There we learn dogmatics from the three volume "Christian Dogmatics" by Francis Pieper.…"
Rev. Joshua V. Scheer replied to Greg Waldrop's discussion Who can forgive sins? in the group Ask the Pastor"Greg,
Check out John 20:19-23. Pastors in the stead of (in the place of) and by the command of Jesus (Jesus said to forgive sins) (they are His called servants in that place) publicly forgive sins (and privately too).
Lutherans are taught from the…"

Tim Stout replied to Rev. Joshua V. Scheer's discussion CPH Book "Women Pastors...." is NOT (But now is) under doctrinal review, but is going to be reprinted (printed in another edition). in the group THE CONFESSING RESISTANCE"That would not be putting the best construction on things. It seems that having a bug up one's sleave about some pet Lutheran Doctrine is the standard in the LCMS and the fact that things ever get through doctrinal review is astounding. I too…"

Suzee left a comment for Rev. Joshua V. Scheer"Thank you for your response. I am in total agreement that we don't believe ANYTHING without checking it out in the HOLY Scriptures first. When you do say that to your discussion group, would you also include why we don't teach non Lutheran…"
Rev. Joshua V. Scheer left a comment for Suzee"Suzee,
Thank you for your comment. I read non-Lutheran things to learn more. These things must always be checked against the Scriptures and the Confessions. In Bible Study I may interject some of these things, but always with the correction…"

Becky said… - Pastor,
I'm enjoying listening to the recent mission/missionary discussion. Please keep writing as much as you can. I'm learning so much. One thing I've figured out is whyI always felt awkward calling myself a missionary.
The more I learn from pastors like yourself, the more I wonder why I never grasped these things when I was much younger. I have an inkling that I was infected with the CGM virus long before we recognized it. Well, I praise God that He has protected me thus far, and that my eyesight has become a little clearer.
I bookmarked your congregation's homepage, too. I like it.

I hope you, Holly, Maddie, and Genevieve are all doing well! I hope I spelled your daughters names correctly. How is life in the parish? Things here are good. One quarter down, two more to go. We're all done with our interviews for placement. Now... we just wait.
Blessings,
Jon

C. Brian Bucklew said… - Pastor,
How are you all doing? We are going to Mobile, Alabama for vicarage. The church is called Holy Cross Lutheran. Anyway...I started finally reading that book you recommended; 'The Borderland between Right and Wrong'...the one on adiaphora. Good stuff. Anyway, just thought I would say hi.

- I am not allowed to comment on the Trail Guide Forum, because I am not a Trail Guide Pastor or looking into Lutheranism, so I will comment here, if I may. I thought your answer was very good concerning reading other things than Lutheranism to learn what is being said, taught, etc outside of Lutheranism and glad you do.
I would hope you would interject that these teachings are not givn in our churches and why. I have recently left my church because of other teachings, not Lutheran.
I am in a Lutheran church and expect Lutheran preaching and teaching.
A comparison would be fine, however, if beneficial in some case.
Just my 2 peneth, if you don't mind.
