I don't expect to have a dialogue with NishantXavier because he doesn't respond to others points because he doesn't wish to. And trying to force someone to be reasonable is a fool's errand.

But for the sake of others, here is the context: Did Luther Really Tell Us to ‘Love God and Sin Boldly’?.

I'm diving deeper into theology and so far, it appears as if I favor conservative Methodism over conservative Lutheranism because it appears to better reflect the biblical view of faith/works and sanctification/holiness better. The Mennonites have some good aspects, but since the historical evidence points to believing in real presence theology in relation to the Eucharist, I can't see myself being a full-bore Mennonite. That being said, I am impressed with the pro-life behavior of the people in the Dakotas (high Lutheran percentage) which appears to be superior to that of the Catholics/Protestants in other states. See: Essay: The Dakotas, the USA states with the highest percentage of Lutherans, are the most pro-life states in the USA. Remember, in Jesus' parable of the Parable of the Two Sons, the son who said he wasn't going to go out in the field and did was seen as more righteous than the son who said he was going to go out into the field, but didn't do it. So it is impressive that the Lutherans in the Dakotas are actually behaving better than the Americans in other states.

I will never become a Catholic due to some of their unbiblical doctrines such as the primacy of Rome and ex-cathedra theology; doctrines related to Mary/saints, unbibibical doctrines on penance/indulgences and other unbiblical doctrines such as purgatory. In addition, the Catholic Church is corrupt and has a history of corruption. Jesus said, "You shall know them by their fruits". For example, NishantXavier dodges the legitimate concerns of Michael Voris about the current problems of the Catholic hierarchy/clergy in relation to promoting and/or engaging in homosexuality.

Michael Voris' YouTube channel ChurchMilitant.com (A very staunch Catholic YouTube channel. ChurchMilitant.com is the website of a Catholic apostolate based in the metro Detroit, MI) recently said on multiple occasions that homosexual clergy/leadership is still a significant problem in the Catholic church as can be seen at Pope's Fraternity Fest Flaunts Semi-Nude Gay Dancer | Rome Dispatch (produced 1 month ago) and Top Cardinal: Don't Blame Gay Priests For Sex Abuse | Rome Dispatch (produced 1 month ago) and Catholic — News Report — Priest Taps Jewish Scholar to Defend Homosexuality (Produced 10 months ago) and The Vortex — It's Homosexuality, Stupid!
