   Quite substantial Schutz and leaves no stone unturned.(as opposed to a former colleague who left no turn unstoned). i note that discusison around THE BEAST-ANTICHRIST seems to be off the agenda,or not discussed or perhaps the Luthernas in this discussion group have removed that part of Lutherna doctrine,although i note that the Pope as AntiChrist is still on the WELS doctrines pertaining to LAST THINGS,as it si on some of the pentecostal groups. About time these latter groups got a grip on themselves ,grew up and read some of the statements by the most recent Popes on traditional Christian doctrine . I believe those who are orthodox in doctrine in the Protestant churches have more in common with catholics than they do with their fellow liberal Proddies

   May Father Tavard and Dr. Reumann rest in peace, they have both labored diligently in the dialogues.

   Yes, Matthias, you are quite correct. Dr. Reumann was affiliated with what is now the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America which no longer views the papacy as the antichrist.

   Thanks for posting this David, I do want to read it.

   thanks for posting this David
   I scanned through the section on praying for the dead
   It will be challenging for some Lutherans I think, but good solid stuff

     Welcome to the Commentary Table, Russell! To introduce Russell to other members at the table, Russell is a Lutheran theologian and an old mate going way back to my first day at Luther Seminary. Could you lot down at the end of the table pass the port up to this end so I can pour our new guest a drink?

     Especially at my place. I do have a bottle of “Hill of Grace” around somewhere, but if you want that, you will have to come to my daughter’s wedding… one day.
