My husband and I have been members of the LCMS for a while and see the wonders of God’s gift of faith taught through Scripture.

We enjoy fellowship in Christ’s body and His cup of the new Covenant for the forgiveness of our sins.

But sadly, many people (weak & wounded) have been “driven out” as evil and denied Fellowship through Christ’s body and blood for the very forgiveness they needed.

Yes, we need discipline through Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), whenever we proudly dishonor God’s Spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, 7:2, Titus 1:16, Jude 1:4-7)

But, to deny or drive out Christians (God’s Church) for not following Man/Luther’s interpretations seems highly unbiblical.

1 Kings 18:21, Proverbs 30:6, (of Course, Jesus is the Word in the flesh…) John 17:17-21, Acts 2:42, 1 Corinthians 4:5-6
First John 4:6

I hear these weak and wounded Christians who love Christ and His Word: crying out against man made doctrines.

“But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Acts 17:11
