Lutheran

The Lutheran branch of Christianity was named after one of the earliest Protestants, Martin Luther. His thesis, which asked questions about the beliefs of the Catholic church, was nailed to the cathedral door. Some Lutherans believe 'The Book of Concord,' published in 1580, contains authoritative explanations of Scripture.

How do you kill a demon?

Demons (in my belief) can be killed. I was told in church that a demon is a evil soul that over thousands of years was manipulated into a demon. If you can find the bones of the demon from it's past life and then burn them you could be able to kill them. But that is vary hard and basically impossible since the only thing that knows who the demon was before is itself, other demons, and Satan himself.

Another answer:

Most Christians believe demons are spiritual beings that have no bodies. Since they have no bodies, they cannot be killed.

What is Martin Luther's Dog's name?

Get it? "Lex Luther." (It was a joke.)

Did Martin Luther actually tear the Book of James out of a Bible because he disliked it so?

No, however he unwisely referred to it as an 'Epistle of straw' in his preface to it, since according to him it had no clear explanation of the Christian Gospel of grace, which was the most important doctrine for him since it helped him come free from the slavery of works under which he suffered while still a monk. Thus, although his words against it were somewhat misguided and to a degree irreverant towards God's word, he did not go the full way and tear it out as others have done to sections of the Bible.

Who created the Lutheran church?

His followers. I have been raised Lutheran and I have learned that Martin Luther's original intentions were not at all to break with the Catholic church, he in fact encouraged his followers not to break from the church, he just wanted to change the corruptness of it and focus more on the Bible. The way I understand it to be is that Martin Luther's followers (not Martin Luther, it was after his death) broke from the Catholic church because they recognized the strength of the church itself and were insulted by the fact that the Catholic church excommunicated Luther.

The religion that believes in the idea of justification by faith is?

Christianity. Various denominations within the Kingdom will argue about what it takes, exactly-word for word to be saved. James argues " What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can faith save him?" The answer is no. " As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." When James says a person is not justified by faith alone, he means that a person is not justified by mental assent alone. As such, he says, " Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that and shudder."

Does Wisconsin Lutheran college have a pre-med program?

First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes known as a track, that prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.

While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology (which Wisconsin Lutheran College does offer) at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

  • Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
  • Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
  • Physics
  • Communication (written and oral)
  • Higher level math's
  • Computer literacy
  • Development of good critical thinking skills.

I would recommend you contact the school, and ask about any pre-med advising program they may have.

Lutherans and Saints?

Saints and sainthood are not a part of their practice. Of course Saint Patrick holds a special place in everyone's heart on the 17th of March without concern to faith.

Lutherans do not single out individuals to be canonised as saints: saints are simply sinners saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
