The Lutheran belief system is not one that acts in accordance with Faith!
"It doesn't matter what you do in life as long as at the hour of your death you ask to be saved."
That isn't faith in God; that is faith in the Devil.
Who else would reward you at the end of your life for a lifetime of irresponsibility and negligence? Not God, but the Devil would! Why? Because you did the Devils bidding your entire life. God isn't going to reward you for that.
That Lutheran core belief is one notch lower. And that it is a substantial difference.
Nor is it consistent with the belief in Jesus Christ! For Christ did indeed say that if you are going to follow him you can expect trouble! A belief in God is not a promise like that. A belief in God is a way of life. It transcends everything you do and how you treat other people. The reason there is that Lutheran belief is for those who can not live up to the standard! It was a marketing opportunity wasn't it!
So why is this relevant today? Because a large percent of our population in this country is of that religion. And it certainly does explain the origin of a lot of the problems we have today!

Every once in a while I talk about a topic so much that I have to dedicate a new blogsite for it. I think I will indeed start a new blogsite titled, "What I learned in Catholic School.
