@NEETzsche @pressure I became a Lutheran because I read the Bible and found that certain Catholic dogmas were irreconcilable.

For example, Paul references salvation being a one time purchase of the elect, which renders the purgatory/indulgence system redundant. The use of images in worship is also frequently condemned in Scripture, and iconoclasts were considered heroes. I’ve provided citations for things like this in other posts.

I became a Lutheran because I believe it’s true, and the alternatives aren’t. Though I won’t lie, Luther being one of the funniest anti-semites in history did not hurt his case.
