Hi, I'm Pastor Matthew Harrison, president of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod.

We have thousands of churches and schools all across the U.S., large, small, and in between.

We are the pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-family Lutherans.

During the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, his widow, Erica, stated, If you aren't a member of a church, I beg you to join one, a Bible-believing church.

I agree.

The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod is the ultimate Bible-believing Church.

We confess the truth of every word of the Bible.

The basic message of the Bible is easy to understand.

It's all about Jesus, our Savior.

As St. John wrote,

The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all our sin.

Jesus comes for sinners.

Jesus comes for you.

Okay. A commonly heard criticism of the Lutheran teaching of solar scripture or scripture alone

is that it basically advocates that everyone is alone with their Bible doing their own

interpretation of scripture what's true and what's false.

The irony is that among the Orthodox who often level this criticism, they end up in exactly

the same place. How so? Well, we'll find out. Welcome back to Issues Etc. I'm Todd Wilkin.

It's part six of our series on Eastern Orthodoxy, today's scripture and tradition. Pastor Joshua

Schuping joins us. He's a former Eastern Orthodox priest and pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church in Russellville, Arkansas. Pastor Schuping, welcome back.
