Differences Between The Catholic Faith and the Lutheran Faith.

What are some similarities and differences between Catholic and Lutheran churches?

Answer:

Differences between Catholics and Lutherans.

The Catholic Church is a sacramental Church and always have been. There are seven Sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church; Baptism, Reconciliation, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Sacrament of the Sick. The Lutheran Church is also sacramental and observes Baptism and Holy Communion as sacraments and the others as "sacramental in nature." Confession/Absolution (or Reconciliation) is sometimes referred to as the "third sacrament" in the Lutheran Church.

The Catholic Church believes in Transubstantiation. That is when a priest consecrates the bread and wine changing them into the actual Body and Blood of Christ while they remain under the appearance of bread and wine. This is a mystery of faith and follows Christs command "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have life within you." Catholics do not believe it is symbolic. They believe this because when Christ revealed this teaching (see all of John 6) His audience took it as literal and many of His own disciples left Him, yet Christ did not qualify this teaching. Instead , He left the literal interpretation to stand and only sought that His listeners have faith in Him as to how it was to be done.

Lutherans believe in that the body and blood are truly present in the Eucharist, but avoid trying to explain the mystery. Lutherans also reject a symbolic view of the sacrament. A Lutheran, when asked, would answer: Is it body and blood? -Yes. Is it bread and wine? -Yes. How? -It is a mystery. Why? -Because Jesus said, "This bread is my body. This wine is my blood."

The Catholic Church understands itself as the one, holy, and apostolic Church. The Lutheran Church follows the same creed and understands that one holy and apostolic church to be only known by God across denominational lines. The true Church is wherever "the word is rightly proclaimed and the sacraments rightly administered" according to official Lutheran doctrine. A famous Lutheran once answered the question, do you believe you have the one, true religion? "Yes, but we are not the only ones who have it."
Answer
Catholics believe that the baptism and being in the state of union with God by practicing the virtues of faith, hope and charity, etc. are what give us eternal life, however, Lutherans believe that you only need faith as given by God, and that the other virtues are the fruits of salvation, which are also given by God. Also Lutherans believe that Christ is the only authority in the church and Catholics believe the pope is, although only acting in a temporal capacity and as Christ's vicar. Everything else is basically the same.
Another view: It is not correct to suggest that Catholics believe that the pope is the 'only' authority, or that the pope's position is above that of Christ. The Catholic church considers the pope to be Christ's earthly representative only, and in fact the 'first among equals' regarding his position among the church's bishops.
Answer
The Catholic and Lutheran Churches have different views on the eucharistic rite.
Catholics believe that the body of christ is revealed to us by the method of transubstantiation. This term refers to the bread and wine changing from one substance into another- bread to body and blood to wine.
Lutherans rejects such teachings while still believing that Christ's body and blood are nonetheless truly present.  

Answer

Catholics were the first Christians, the first followers of Christ. Jesus charged Peter to be the rock on which He will build his Church, a mere mortal man to head His Church here on earth. He was followed by those we would call Pope. It is true that some authorities in the Catholic Church prostituted themselves by selling indulgences for money much needed for the Church. Also, Popes began to involve themselves in politics instead of just with souls. Martin Luther took great exception to the workings of the Church at the time of his era and chose to enact reforms with his fellow discontented followers. They did hold to many of the Catholic ways but adjusted to their thinking those which they disagreed. They grew as more converts disgruntled with the Catholic Church joined their ranks. I am Catholic and not very proud of those many dark years of the Church, yet I remain Catholic. I have attended Lutheran services on several occasions and was surprised at the similarities between the two.  

Answer

The term catholic (lower case 'c') simply means universal. Because Rome was in power during the time of Christ and Constantine later converted to Christianity and named it the state religion, the term Roman Catholic came about. However the first Christians were certainly not Romans nor known as Catholics. In fact the early Christians faced sever persecution from the Romans until the time of Constantine.
Now regarding Luther: He did take exception to the selling of indulgences and the proclamation of the pope that he could release souls from purgatory (which in itself has no Scriptural standing), but he had no intention of "breaking away" from the Church. When Luther wrote his 95 thesis and posted them on the door of the church in Wittenberg, his hope was to engage in a debate with the church leaders so that the church may be reformed--hence the term "Reformation". Because Luther's stance was rejected by the church, and his life threatened, Luther did break from the church.
There are many more differences than what are listed here and in the other responses. Lutherans have only 2 sacraments, not 4 or 7: Holy Communion and Baptism. Lutherans hold Christ as the head of the Church and confess that we are under the authority of Scripture. We are saved by grace alone through faith in Christ. Our works are a result of our salvation , not a means by which we attain it. We believe that Jesus in the only intercessor and mediator between God and man and that praying to Mary or the saints is not Biblically based and is not pleasing to God. I could continue writing on this subject, but I would suggest doing a search for the "Book of Concord" which contains the Lutheran confessions and Catechisms.  

Answer

There isn't really much difference. Luther didn't think the selling of indulgences was right, and wanted everyone to be able to read the Bible. Other than that, he was pretty mainstream.  

Answer

When I was Lutheran, as my family raised me, they believed that you were saved when you were baptized as a baby (sprinkled with water). Now that I am nondenominational, I believe in salvation through understanding and believing Christ, and I was baptized by being immersed in water which is not necessary for salvation, but God asks this of you, which symbolizes the new birth.  

Answer

Catholic is written with a capital "C" based in a devotional code, not precisely in a grammatical rule, as other sacraments are also written with a capital letter at the beginning of the word. This applies to English as well as to other languages within the Catholic church.
To the notion that the Pope cannot release souls from purgatory: Please let me clarify that the authority conferred to all Popes, including such to release souls from Purgatory DOES have Scriptural standing. Although, many Christian denominations separated from the Catholic Church, do not recognize the true meaning of Jesus words to Peter: "Over this rock I build my Church", which irrefutably places the Catholic religion as the original and true Church of God and Jesus on earth, there were also other powerful commands given to Peter that are similarly neglected by many Christians, including Lutherans: (Matt 16:19) "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven." I would like to specify that the power given to Peter to release souls from Purgatory is explicit in Matt 16:19, as when Jesus refers to "Heaven" is also talking about everything that implies the spiritual world, which includes the release of souls within the spiritual 

spheres of Purgatory. Peter, as the first vicar of the Church of Christ on earth, was also given the power and responsibility to transfer such authority and power to his successors later to reside in the Vatican: all Popes; therefore, they also do have such authority. 

As a matter of fact, the Catholic Church promotes and sponsors many ministries on which individuals can join in prayer and in many other devotions to gain indulgencies and the liberation of relatives and loved ones that have died and that for whatever reason is believed they could have gone to the Purgatory instead of going straight to Heaven. There are also groups that practice prayer for the consolation and reduction of the penance and sentence of all the souls in the Purgatory. The release of souls in purgatory in this case, would be granted by the mercy of God, thru the power of group prayer, as it is opposed to the authority the Pope has to do so, by the power of Jesus and God, conferred into him.
To the notion of reformation: History has registered the many atrocities committed by the Catholic Church as it has done it with countless numbers of religions and sects. Despite the negative perception provoked by many of those events, the Catholic Church rejects any reform in its principles as they are conceived as original and Divine by virtue of God, who established them through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Although Luther intentions were good and based in observation of corruption, Catholics understand, that the separation of many Christians is due to the works of Satan (through deception), which since the beginning of times have had the intention to scorn, divide and destroy the true Church of God on earth. 
.
Saved By Grace Only: Lutherans believe that the individual is saved by Grace alone/Faith alone. This is the doctrine by which the Lutheran Church stands or falls. By this, it is said is that since the Fall, man's will is bound to sin--completely. Other Protestants believe that one must choose in order to be saved. (This is referred by Lutherans as "decisional theology".) Lutherans, however, hold that man's will is not free to choose. There is no neutral ground from which man can stand to make a so-called objective evaluation to choose between God and the Evil One. Under the bondage of sin, man cannot choose and, even he could, he would not choose God. In order to break this slavery, God Himself must reach and grasp the individual to Himself. It is for this Christ came into the world and suffered on the Cross.
Why faith alone? One must begin with the total holiness of God. God only allows purity to come into His presence before His throne. Thus, if even a holy man were to come before Him, for the littlest trace of sin man would die.
How does man come before the Father? Man must be covered by Christ's own righteousness much like a child is covered by the cloak of the parent against the harsh wind. Lutherans speak of this as Christ's righteousness imputed to those who are saved. Christ's righteous covering is total and no amount of man's goodness can serve as his justification--even in the smallest measure. This represents the major difference between Lutherans and Catholics. Catholics also believe in Christ's saving work but they also believed man can earn merit salvation in part by his good works as well.
Other Christians claim "saved by faith alone" but are largely allergic to its actual meaning. Any provision where "choosing" and/or "being good" are necessary for salvation debases "saved by faith alone" into meaninglessness. Faith is not chosen. Faith is given. Good works are responses to God's saving work and are necessary in the life of the Christian. But good works are not channels of Grace.
Many will object and tell their stories of how they asked Jesus into their lives. Many of these stories are quite dramatic and all are heartfelt. The Lutheran does not disbelieve these accounts. But these accounts are not the last word as to what really happened. We don't know we are saved and bound for heaven because we can point to our 

choices and our personal holiness in following Christ. The devil knows how to make quick work of that and plunge we into doubt. We know because God tells us we are saved--that is our assurance.

=========================

I am not completely Sure How accurate this is but I copied it tonight from another Website ,...

I was in conversation with people the other day discussing the various differences between Christian Faiths such as Babtist, Anglican / Episcopalian , Lutheran , Four Square, etc,..

And I have often said that 'the closest' Faiths to the Catholic Church are Lutheran ( There is really very little difference - very nuance and minor here ) and Anglican ( also fairly similar ),... The Lutheran Church is rather Large in America to this day in 2013 even ,..I feel mainly because of the influence of all of the German immigrants to America and those they have spread their word to ,..dating back into the 1800's and beyond ,...

Martin Luther was originally a Catholic ,..who broke with the Church in the 16th Century as one of the earliest ( though not the first ) "Protestant" reformers ,..though I will often tell people that basically Lutherans ( Like Anglicans ) aren't really Protestants ,..at least in the same way as "American" Chirstian Protestant faith offshoots like the Babtists and the Seventh Day Adventists,..

Martin Luther was a really good guy - who many of us Catholics really revere and respect ,.. even though there are many who call him and (his German flock) a Heretic ,... and also , the Lutherans were Deeply hated and persecuted in Europe for their beliefs ,... He was the first guy to really break away on a Large organized level ,..and yes, it was much more than just "translating the Bible into German",..

But Lutheran Beliefs remain virtually similar in all ways to Catholic ,..of course a main one being ,..that they do not accept Rome as the leadership council with any authority ,..

But much like Eastern Orthodox Faiths and Anglicans,.. their belief system and rituals are almost identical to the Catholic Faith,..

I Pray for Martin Luther and hope he went to a Good place ,... and I still say ,..even if you don't agree with The Church,.. and even if they begin to accept and even promote wacky stuff,.. You still need to go to church ,..and look out ahead : Wacky stuff may be coming down the Pike !!

It doesn't mean to go join the Evangelicals next week ,..

The weird Good News; Lutherans don't use the King James ,...they read the Catholic Bible Only ?? Yeah - it's true ,..the 'ONLY' Protestants that do !!

'Couple of new ideas I put up at Huffpost this evening:

" Liberal / Democrat / Left Wing Type People's Goal is to balkanize Our country and break it up and eventually get states to peel away in secession : First will come Texas ,..and then will come others ,.. and soon,..it will be the end of America ,... Most Christian People Don't want things Like Abortion, Gay Marriage, Legal Weed, illegal immigration ( And Voters ), High taxes, RED Tape, More Forms to fill out, More Tests to take to satisfy the 'smarter than thou" Lib systems, Unions,  etc,... But these are all the EXACT things that Liberals live for and want ,..So we have an impossible impasse ,...Our Country is heading towards a split ,... We will have UN TROOPS "OCCUPYING" Places Like California soon ,..within ten years ,... You think it won't happen - YOU Better think again !! "

=========================================

" No !! ,...it's going to make everything cheaper !! This story is a Lie !! Obama is a Genius ! Millions of Weed smokers voted for him as they watch Wendy Williams show and play video games !! They can't be wrong ,...Plus Obama just gave 500 Million to Hamas ,...the guy knows what he is doing ! Plus, ..Lots of Taco bell workers who don't wash their hands,..they Love Obama ! And now we have Doctors imported from Cuba here who are Great ! My medical office is now the DMV !! WONDERFUL ! AND TAXES ARE LOWER - NOT ! "

And it's because we are so stupid and Apathetic ,..and Lazy ,..and yes, Evil too

An evil man who hopes illegal aliens and people on Ssi and or Welfare ,..will keep pulling the lever ,..and not only that: He assures that they do, and travels around ,..working to keep them stupid and poor ,..so that they will !!

As I look back at America over the last 50 to 70 years,...I'm not so sure after all ,..that it really is US ,..that is all that good,..

Sure the Arabs are scumbags ,..BUT WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE ?? Are we any better ??

MILLIONS OF ABORTIONS ?? THIS IS A CATASTROPHE !! IT'S WORSE THAN 911 !! Like some kind of twisted Nuclear Meltdown that makes Fukushima look like nuttin' honey!,.. IT'S WORSE THAN SLAVERY,..if You want the Truth  !! It's a daily thang and how God let's it just go - I don't know !!

But by his grace,.. He does,. He Lets us do this and He lets us Live,....Don't ask me why !

Maybe He should Stop !!

SECTARIANIZED PORN ?? PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT DESTROY OUR CHILDREN and turn them into Liberal drones ?? Churches that lecture not and do nothing ?? That don't stand up for morality ?? No,..

etc,...

More Good Ones You can name,..
etc,...

Note; Of course all lists are incomplete and are updated and changed / altered by me constantly ,... ( Shut up Fucking Douchebag ,....of course I knew about the Greatness of Jefferson Airplane ),..

There are some Groups/Projects with one or two good songs ( Sonny and Cher) ,..but I don't qualify them for what-ever reason,..

And I recommend People Listen to Direct Tv 8 tracks ( Channel 840 ) to properly learn about real rock n' roll ,..

Of Course, I can't put Lists #2 and #3 in any kind of Order ,...

Notes; Canned Heat, Journey, Hall and Oates, New Order, Blink 182, Coldplay, and Foo Fighters will never make any Lists strictly )

If yer on both Lists 2 'and' 3,..it could mean there's something I like "and" Hate about it ,..or that it just didn't have enough output,..

Of course ,..there's Great stuff I've forgot or misplaced ,..it'l be added where appropriate soon ,..

Ordinarily, I hate all of these kindza' Lists but Fuck VH1 and MTV and all that ,... I won't Let them just propagandize and propagate "Their" Phony Lists,..

Disclaimer: You will notice there is NO Bruce Springsteen, The Police, or Phil Collins ( or Phil Collins Genesis Post Duke ), Joan Jett, Billy Idol, Sammy Hagar,.. etc ,... That's because,..These Artists are FUCKING GAY and Lame and they FUCKING SUCK ,.. and thus, they Don't get on my Lists ANYWHERE ! ( Though I might Like early songs by Bruce, some Police tracks, and something like 'Victim of Circumstance' by Joan Jett at moments ,..and Gen-X at times,.. BUT USUALLY, there are certain artists that I immediately hate upon instinct ( John Cougar Mellencamp comes rocketing to mind ),...

The Music of Billy Joel is entirely given it's own hated reserve area specially ( Which means that I hate him even worse than the average bands that I hate specially ),..( IN OTHER WORDS,...I Would go to a John Cougar Concert before I would Listen to a Billy Joel Song ! )

I hate Allen Parsons Project ,..yet I listen to them attentively ,...Go figure THAT !!

Jon Bon Jovi I hate even more than Billy Joel ,..I hate his Politics and EVERYTHING about him ! He is in a League with Like a douchebag like Kelsie Grammer,...

The band Dire Straights I detest at a Level like comparing our Sun to Rigel from Orien,...

I don't like the band Heart and those two fat chicks,... ( Though their 70's stuff is good ,... and really early Billie Joel showed Promise for certain !! )

I usually Like just about any music from the 70's or 60's ,.. as a rule ,.. unless its like the Archies,...

U2 : These are People and a Band that I deeply despise ,.... As much as I hate Dire Straights, Bruce Springsteen, and Billie Joel, U2 may just take the Cake as THE Most hated band by Clark the Shizz-ark Dog !! And Note here; I am not likely to like the type of People that would attend a U2 Concert ,...and it could result in a Fist Fight,.. and me being only 5'6,... I still might punch a U2 fan ,...

Fleetwood Mac - This is a band that Clark the Shark does not like ,...and the hatred is rather Deep here ,...

Rem is a band I respectfully don't Like,.. I won't talk a lotta' shit about them though ,..

There are many bands that I just won't comment on either way or discuss such as The Cult, Anthrax, White Snake, etc,..

SEQUESTER IGNITES STOCK MARKET AND ECONOMY - 'PROVES OBAMA'S A MORON ! ( But Someday Tomorrow, he'll Take all the Credit and say it was His idea ,.)

President Barack Obama has been Warning us of all the Gloom and Doom that the 2% Gov Cut was gonna Do,..

Those Mean Old Knuckle-Dragger Gop's in the House,..

Damn THEM !! THOSE 'CLOSE-MINDED' BACKWOODS REDNECK FOOLS ,...

They are causing Teacher Lay-offs and Tsunamis and Food Inspector Cuts and Air Traffic Controller Lay offs and Tsunamis and stuff,.. It's gonna be bad ! And plus, there'l be Tsunamis !!

WOOPS !!

THE GOP CONGRESS DIDN'T BLINK,..

( And Note Here; There was no way the Repubs Could cave this time )

THEY TOLD OBAMA TO EAT SHIT,..

THEY WERE GONNA GO AHEAD AND JUST LET THE SEQUESTER HAPPEN,... THAT GLOOMY FRIDAY ,...and they even said it was originally "Obama's Idea" anyway ,..

And You Know what ??

AND IT WAS !! TOO !!

THE GOP CONTROLLED CONGRESS WAS THROUGH PLAYING AROUND WITH OBAMA,..

THEY WERE OVER with 'NEGOTIATING' WITH HIM AND HIS DEMOCRAT CRONIES,.. and buddies ,...

The United State's Monies and Spending originates with 'Them',..

Not With Obama !!

And they even dared The Mr. President to try to pull off yet another one of his patented tired ( and illegal ) Executive Order maneuvers ,..

Obama Couldn't ,..

Not with something this Big !!

And the Congress knew it !! ( So too did the Greedy Pigs on Wall Street ,..waiting in the wings with sly eyes & blood oozing from the corners of their mouths ,...) 

So Last Friday March 8, it happened,..

That evil and scary thing called SEQUESTER !!

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ??

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY THIS WEEK,..

STOCKS EXPLODED ON WALL STREET,..

THE DOW SHOT UP LIKE CRAZY !!

AND YOU KNOW WHY ??

Because People out there know that when Our Government Goes down ,... The People go up !!

When our Government is forced to cut back and shrink,..

The People out there Grow !!

When Taxes go down,...

The People shoot up !!

When Gov Spending goes down,..

The people Launch like rockets,..

Who cares if they're a buncha pigs up in Palos Verdes and out in Rancho Santa Fe,..

THEY RUN THE WHOLE SHOW - LIKE IT OR NOT: GET IT ?? DEAL WITH IT !

When the shackles are taken off Capitalism ,..

Even slightly,..

The Market Reacts,..

Investors in General are seeing the first real visible signs right now of our feeble President's obvious weakness that up until now has mainly only been really known to Talk Radio types and street Conservs,.. as blared by the Likes of Glen Train Wreck, Savage, and others,..

Investors are seeing now that Obama is a lame duck with a Capital L and in his final term ,..and it is so glaring obvious now how he won't be on the ballot in 2016,..

And if our economy gets truly good,.. that's probably not good news for Hillary ,.. at least if it is clearly market driven ,.. ( Though Bill Clinton would love it and use it ,..) 

A'lotta people are suddenly seeing and realizes that Obama is a joke ,..

Many of them voted for the guy even knowing inside that the dude is a putz ,..

They privately know that the people they hate like Hannity and Limbaugh are ,...RIGHT !

AND THIS SEQUESTER THING JUST PROVES IT,..

FLAT OUT,..

AND ONCE AND FOR ALL !!

SOME OF them may even begin to question why they themselves hate Hannity, Fox, Limbaugh, Conservs, and People that go to church,.. they may stumble to realize it's because it's all they've been taught ,..in public schools and elsewhere,.. in today's music and sit-coms ,..and Jimmy Kimmel shows,..

True,.. the Repubs and Conservs ain't good at fighting back or even defending themselves,... 'never have been ,..and probably never will be,..

Most of these well dressed Mercedez Benz driving groomed 6 foot dudes with their hot blonde gals ain't good with nasty words like FUCK ,..AND FUCK LIBERALS !!

BUT I AM !!

AND I WILL SHOW YOU ALL,..

THE WAY,..

NOW,..

This Sequester has done just the opposite of what King Barry Hussein the Douchebag said it would,..  ( And he knew it ),..

IT HAS SUDDENLY MADE OUR ECONOMY GREAT !!  ( He now needs to work that Plan B that Axlerod and Holder have in a file ,..) 

SOMETHING THAT OUR ECONOMY HASN'T BEEN IN YEARS !! SINCE THE DAYS OF BUSH ,...WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT WAS 4 %,..

AND I'VE said this enough times,..

Our banking and our Real Estate really collapsed long "After" Queen Nancy and Queen Barney took over our House in 2006,..

NOT BEFORE ,..

THAT WASN'T BUSH'S FAULT !!

That happened in 2008 ,... Not 2005 !!

THAT WAS THE DEMOCRAT'S FAULT TOO !!

JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE BAD PRACTICALLY IS ,..IN THIS WORLD !!

TRUE: BUSH WASN'T A GENIUS ROCKET SCIENTIST ,.. THE GUY WAS A BIG SPENDER,.. BUT BUSH HAD US ABOUT 500 BILLION IN DEBT,.. THAT WITH TWO WARS ,...AND A 911,..

OBAMA HAS US NOW 20 TRILLION IN DEBT !! More than All Presidents ever combined !!

YEAH - YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT DIPSHIT !! 20 TRILLION,..

WITH A T !!

BUSH HAD US WITH GAS THAT WAS $1.50 TO 2.00 BUCKS A GALLON,..

OBAMA'S GAS IS REGULARLY IN THE 5 DOLLAR RANGE,.. { No Pun },..

I REST MY CASE,..

YEAH ,.. The Democrats control our media and they were good at convincing you how bad and sad the Iraq War was back in 2006 and they got all you lowlife's to Vote them into Power,..

A Power that they used to ram a phony Soviet-styled health care system up all our asses later on !!

A power that they thought they could control all of you schmucks with forever,..

But they forgot one thing; The American Spirit,..and the American Dream !!

AND AMERICAN GREED - TOO !!

The stock market runs the whole show baby - and RIGHT NOW THE STOCK MARKET IS BOOMING,..

BILL CLINTON WOULD USE THIS AND HE WOULD SAY IT'S GREAT NEWS,..

OBAMA DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO,..

OBAMA HATES CAPITALISM,..

UNLESS IT'S HE AND HIS ALLIES UP IN HOLLYWEIRD GETTIN' RICH,..

AND NOT ALL OF YOU !!

The Sequester has officially now back-fired against Mr. Obama ,..

And even the stupidest of stupid people can see it,..

THAT'S WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE A MORON !!

JIMMY KIMMEL AND JAY LENO COULDN'T HAVE DONE A BETTER SHOW TO MAKE SOMEONE LOOK BAD !

==========

Notes; 6 Months from Now, Obama will be on Tv saying that the Sequester was not only his idea,..but it was his "Invention" and that this GREAT AMAZING ECONOMY IS ALL BECAUSE OF HIM !!

OCCUPY THAT !!

JUDGE THROWS OUT MAYOR DUMBERG'S LARGE SODA BAN - GOOD JUDGE !!

New York Nanny Mayor Dumberg had his dumb-ass "Law"

which banned Large 32 Ounce Drinks tossed out by a wise Judge today

Good for that Judge !!
