Discussion in this session covers pages 58-66. John Calvin's Christology and view of the Lord's Supper is discussed in contrast to Lutheran theology that Christ is true God, true man and One Person and Christ's true body and blood are present in the Lord's Supper.

Luther's view of Scripture was based on three principles: Authority (Scripture is the final authority on all matters of faith and practice), Inerrancy (Scripture is God's text and is reliable), and Clarity (Scripture is the clearest of all books). The Reformation came about because Luther felt people were drifting away from Scripture as the basis of their faith. Luther maintained that Scripture does not contradict itself. God does not lie or deceive.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 12:27, This session continues on page 52 thru 59 cataloging the true heresies made of the Lord's Supper over the years, including the view of John Calvin.

Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20; Matthew 18:15-20; John 20:20-23; Acts 1:8;Galatians 1:8,Acts 5:29; 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Five hundred years ago, Reformation leaders disagreed with: 1) the Pope's word being infallible and his claim to be the Vicar of Christ (speaks for God), 2) the Pope's claim to be the supreme spiritual authority as well as top governmental authority, and 3) the Pope's declaration that acceptance of his authority is required for salvation. Today, Orthodox Christians agree with the Reformation leaders. As leader of the largest portion of Christians in the world, they desire that the Pope would call sinners to repentance and point people to Christ for the forgiveness of sins.

Heretics have opposed the words of Jesus when He says: "This is My body.... This is My blood". The heretics say the word "is" means "signifies" in Jesus' words. We discuss this Nestorian view when they say that Jesus' real presence is reduced to His "personal presence". Pages 49-53 are covered this week.

Scripture: Mark 16:16, John 20, 1 Corinthians: 11, 1 John 2:2, Isaiah 53, Can you pass the "Final Exam" that Pastor Rhode gives to his Confirmation students? This session offers an excellent review of the six parts of Luther's Small Catechism's namely:the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Sacrament of HolyBaptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-23; 11:18-29, The recording of this session includes the first 25 minute only. The remaining 35 minutes is not included because of a technical problem. We are sorry for this inconvenience.In this session pages 41 - 49 of the book are covered. Unworthy eating of the bread (true body) and drinking of the wine (true blood) are discussed with 1 Corinthian's scripture as reference.

"This is the body of Me" -- "This is the blood of Me". This lesson discusses the many reasons for why people reject these words of Christ. Lutherans believe we receive the natural body and blood of Jesus on our tongues in the Lord's Supper, the same body born of Mary.

Scripture: John 6:51-58;John 18:28, Should we consider John 6 a seat of the doctrine of the Lord's Supper? What did Luther say about this? How is the verse, John 18:28 reconciled with the synoptic gospel accounts? Just a few of today's discussion items.

Scripture: Matthew 26:26, Did Jesus really say "This is my Body"? What is the meaning of "is"? What gives Martin Luther his view of the Lord's Supper? This questions are among the items that will be discussed in this session.
