...The split between the Lutherans and the Roman Catholic Church arose mainly over the doctrine of Justification before God. Lutheranism advocates a doctrine of justification "by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone", which contradicted the Roman view of "faith formed by love", or "faith and works". Unlike the Reformed Churches, Lutherans retain many of the liturgical practices and sacramental teachings of the pre-Reformation Church. Lutheran theology differs from Reformed theology in a variety of ways, including Christology, the purpose of God's Law, divine grace, whether one is "once saved always saved", and predestination.

It means you can have potluck suppers at church and eat lutfisk if so inclined. You are also allowed to say things like Uffda, or Yassir, you betcha. Jesus said the meek would inherit the earth, but so far all we've gotten is Minnesota and North Dakota. Garrison Keillor |

There are 3 main branches of the Lutheran Church in the US: WELS, LCMS, and ELCA. WELS is ultra-conservative, LCMS is middle of the road, and ELCA is liberal to the point of walking away from Lutheran doctrine. Then you have lots of little splinter groups. Each one thinks that they are doing the best they can be to stay by biblical teachings and Lutheran doctrine. Some do it well, others... well, they are Lutheran in name only. The 3 biggies all have websites. The little ones... you may have to google each one to find their specific take on Lutheran teachings. The Brethren are a small conservative group, whose emphasis is on missionary work. Lutheran Redeemer... that sounds like just the name of a church, not it's Lutheran affiliation. |

Did the Lutheran Church in the I know that in the middle ages
the Pope forbid Christians to
earn money from money, which
is why the Jewish Ghetto did
that. But when Martin Luther
created the Lutheran church,
was that practice allowed?

The Reformation and the birth of Protestantism marks the end of the Late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Early Modern Period. Therefore there was no Lutheran Church in the Middle Ages. With love in Christ. |
