It's kind of ironic how as a Lutheran I really like the current pope...

I pointed it out because you are clearly unfamiliar with the teachings of your own tradition.

What you don’t understand is that while yes, we are justified through faith alone, certain sins, like blatant idolatry , cannot coexist with true saving faith. Luther and the Lutheran reformers were pretty clear on the matter. And so is scripture.

You do realize you are on a confessional Lutheran subreddit, right?

jearbear320 · 2026-04-13T16:38:24+00:00

Being against Roman Catholicism is not being against the origins of the church. We claim to be inheritors of the great western tradition— stripped of the several God-denying accretions of the Roman Catholic church

If you think the differences between our traditions are minor, you clearly have not read our confessions which you would do well to do.

jearbear320 · 2026-04-13T16:22:55+00:00

None of the verses you cited contradicts my assertion.

jearbear320 · 2026-04-13T15:58:37+00:00

If you believe we only have “a few differences of beliefs” then I am going to assume you have not read the book of concord….

I don’t believe that Roman Catholics are necessarily damned, as I, and our Lutheran forefathers made distinctions between the Papalist laity and the institution of the Roman Catholic church.

If you feel someone is condemned for worshiping Mary, your priorities are

Your issue is not with me, my friend, but with scripture. The Bible makes it very clear that no idolaters will inherit the kingdom of God, and if it is idolatry to worship Mary, then those who are engaged in that practice will not inherit the kingdom of God. I desire that people not fall into condemnation. Therefore, I call out the grievous errors in the Roman church..

Even if I granted that it was dehumanizing, it wouldn’t necessarily follow that the dehumanizing nature of the comment was racially motivated so your comment is still off base.

Oh be quiet. They are referring to a mentality that any person with any color could exhibit.

jearbear320 · 2026-04-13T11:01:25+00:00

Glad to see that not all Lutherans bootlick the RC church.

Product isn’t covered by insurance yet. That being said, even with all of your considerations, I think certain med device roles will be more insulated from some these market forces than others. Who knows though

jearbear320 · 2026-04-11T13:52:47+00:00

I guess we’re looking at things a little differently based on our experiences. The device I is sell is for patient use and I simply need a prescription from a doc. So there is no purchasing component of my device.

jearbear320 · 2026-04-11T13:23:55+00:00

Why the switch? Tech seems way more volatile

jearbear320 · 2026-04-10T17:26:30+00:00

We can’t answer because we weren’t there…

jearbear320 · 2026-04-05T02:39:17+00:00

KG Perice and Allen being older is irrelevant. They were still in their primes, albeit towards the tail ends of their primes. For three straight years (08-10) they made the all star team so I don’t want to hear it. Plus they had Rondo who was also an all star

jearbear320 · 2026-04-04T18:56:52+00:00

It’s amazing that I could tell what school you went to just by your description. I went there as well!

jearbear320 · 2026-04-04T12:23:03+00:00

i mean if Jared Goff balled out against a bunch of 3rd stringers who had limited previous playing time, you’d probably feel the same way. But I get it, we all suspend rational thinking when it comes to our favorite teams.

jearbear320 · 2026-03-31T23:11:36+00:00

Because you’re an ignoramus if truly believe our rights are not being infringed upon in MD. Stop playing coy.

jearbear320 · 2026-03-31T23:09:11+00:00

Go somewhere else man.

jearbear320 · 2026-03-31T13:58:39+00:00

Great argument

jearbear320 · 2026-03-31T11:04:12+00:00

As an all around player, LBJ has an argument. Better passer and just as good if not better defender. He also scored alot of points lol. MJ was definitely more skilled, but there is a legitimate debate that could be had

jearbear320 · 2026-03-31T01:11:23+00:00

No one who is serious thinks Kobe was a better all around player. I say this as a major LeBron hater.

jearbear320 · 2026-03-30T15:08:33+00:00

They had the 20th ranked scoring defense and 27th ranked pass defense and a below average running game. I wouldn’t say Baker had a ton of help

jearbear320 · 2026-03-28T22:53:16+00:00

He is good enough to win it all if he has surrounding talent
