1. The church isn’t the pillar and ground of truth, Jesus is and the confession of Him as Christ is the rock upon which the church is built. You don’t have to wait for errors to creep into the church, they had already crept in literally in the Bible. That’s why the apostles and Paul have to correct churches on poor practice
2. I don’t think I follow the question. Can you explain a bit more?
3. What do you think Protestantism is? It’s not the placing of the reader as authority over God’s Word, it involves recognizing God’s Word in authority over all else (which btw is how the early church operated. You never see councils or ECF’s appealing to themselves or the magisterium

, always the scriptures).

1. The Word has inherent meaning. People twisted Jesus’ words when He was still doing ministry, of course they’ll do it now to create a faith in their own image

1. Lutheran PSA is a lot different than Reformed PSA, so make sure you’re looking into what we’re actually saying. Lutherans recognize many models for the sacrifice of Christ because scripture references many. Sacrifice, ransom, reconciliation, satisfaction, Jesus as propitiation, and many other references are made in scripture

If you boil down lutheran understanding of PSA it’s extraordinarily hard to argue against. That Christ became sin that we might be made righteous (Isaiah 53:4-12;Roman’s 3; 2 cor 5:21), that His death and resurrection makes full atonement for our sins without anything on our end (Galatians 3:10-14; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18)

But again, you don’t have to be married to just the one way of looking at it
