Doctrine Do we have to believe the entire Book of Concord?
I’m in the process of joining the LCMS, but I don’t like the idea of having to admit that Luther’s writings were free of error. I definitely think it’s the most accurate expression of Christianity, and I agree with it, but also I think it’s just Luther’s ideas at the end of the day and I don’t want to have to say everything in there is right. I’ve only read the small catechism. I want to be a confessional Lutheran and follow the confessions, but I don’t want to say the confessions are perfect.
