Given the stern warnings against idolatry, isn’t a metaphorical understanding of Communion better? Ted asks about what is true about what the Lord’s Supper is and what it does. Rod talks about when Luther went to Marburg to debate with Zwingly, how he made the case for what the Lord’s Supper actually is, what the first Christians considered it to be, the historical discussion about it, and what spiritual benefits it sounds like sinners receive from it.

Do Lutherans talk about being saved? Ted asks about how Lutherans speak of the idea of ‘being saved’.

When we say the law always accuses does that mean the law always condemns? 10/09/2023

When we say the law always accuses does that mean the law always condemns? Ted asks about what the law means for us sinners regarding accusation and condemnation. Rod talks about how the law does accuse, what role the third use of the law has in the Christian life (from the Lutheran “Book of Concord”), how greatly many believers are buried under the burden of the law, and how good the news of the Gospel actually is.
