Beane's sermon were they violated? Or is this another time when I've missed some internet irony?<BR/><BR/>Confused in cyberspace,<BR/>+HRCPr. H.

To call a pastor a "wolf in sheep's clothing" is not a casual insult, rather it is to accuse him of being Satanic. You might want to really make sure that's true before you let that slur fly. Why not start small and call me a "jerk" or an "ignoramus" before heading right to the nuclear option? This is the kind of thing that gives traditionalism a bad name.<BR/><BR/>Jason, you don't even subscribe to the Augsburg Confession, but you seem interested in anything in the blogosphere that has the word "Lutheran" in it. That's kind of creepy. Look, if you want to convert to Lutheranism, just say so. I'm sure we can help.<BR/><BR/>And exactly what in my sermon is false, makes you think I'm a "wolf in sheep's clothing", is pro-papacy, is anti-Gospel, anti-Justification, or pro-Roman-canon (the latter of which is, in fact retained by many continuing Anglican traditions)? Why would you make such assumptions?<BR/><BR/>Regarding law preaching, Luther said that when you toss a stick into a pack of dogs, the one that howls is the one that got hit. Did this sermon touch something in your conscience?<BR/><BR/>Pax autem Domini Jesu Christi tecum, gratias scribere ago tibi, bona fortuna, et cetera...Rev.

But speak for yourself. The papac...No, not spot on. But speak for yourself. The papacy is the seat of the Antichrist. Justification is the central article of the Gospel message and ministry. This is why the Sacrifice of the Mass is an abomination of the desolation. <BR/><BR/>Woe unto you wolves in sheep's clothing for you shall reap what you have sown.<BR/><BR/>And so may it be.<BR/><BR/>Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto; sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in secula seculorum.
