I missed the Luther film, but will get it when it is released on DVD.

There are probably a lot of things Luther did knowing his fetish for alcohol that will never be known so the jury is out on that question, but not on these Lutheran ministers.

Did you ever figure out that I am not a Lutheran?

***There are probably a lot of things Luther did knowing his fetish for alcohol that will never be known so the jury is out on that question***

Ah, love believes the best!

[drstevej]

***Yet you call yourself a Lutheran. Very disingenuous, to say the least.***

Want to retract this allegation?

Momma mia!!! Rodrigo, Vanozza, and particularly Cesare (1476) and Lucrezia (1480) were the original Soprano family. Actually, Cesare was an early Sonny Corleone prototype, and his sister, Lucretia had a problem keeping husbands due to him because he kept murdering them. Fortunately that was all before the doctrine of papal infallibility.

Your original profile page, before you morphed into Pope Piel, said that you were a Lutheran, did it not?

***Your original profile page, before you morphed into Pope Piel, said that you were a Lutheran, did it not?***

No, it did not.

[Pahuanui]

BTW, I finally saw the movie Luther. I could see why it made the Catholics mad, because Pope Leo X was a real jewel.

So as to avoid any confusion on my part in the future please indicate exactly what denomination you claim membership in. Also did you attend a Lutheran university or seminary for undergraduate or theological study?

If I have incorrectly referred to you as a Lutheran and I am wrong then I humbly apologize.

[drstevej]

I have been a non-denominational pastor for almost 30 years. Grew up Methodist and was baptised as a believer by Charles Stanley (S Baptist).

ThM - Dallas Theological Seminary (non-denominational)
PhD - Westminster Theological Seminary (Orthodox Presbyterian)

I did attend a Lutheran church in Wittenburg once (May 1988) but other than a funeral have never attended Lutheran services.

I did some research in the Lutheran Seminary in Germantown, PA one afternoon. Some great books in their basement. Never attended a Lutheran college or seminary.

[drstevej]

BTW, apology accepted.

[drstevej]

***"God has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it!"***

I intend too.

[A.A. Cunningham]

My mistake. Thanks for setting me straight on your CV.

[A.J.Armitage]

At least Catholics generally have the good taste to associate their gimmicks with other people, like Mary and saints.

[drstevej]

No problem.

[drstevej]

Potestant gimmick are indeeed shoddy but they produce big bucks. (BTW, Jimmy Swaggart's church is 1 1/2 miles from my house)

If I have incorrectly referred to you as a Lutheran and I am wrong then I humbly apologize.

If humility is good for the soul, you have been blessed indeed.

[Gamecock]

before you morphed into Pope Piel, said that you were a Lutheran, did it not?

Holding out on us beloved Pope?

I believe apparitions may be possibly of God, though I don't claim they are for certain.

Though the fact that they often are of the Virgin Mary make me wonder if it is not Satan trying to lure people into following her intead of Christ.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Molested women ???? Hardly.

You call bigamy Biblical? Tell me, what's the difference between Martin Luther and Joseph Smith?
