Episode notes
Ministry Defined By Word And Sacraments
- Carl Fredrik Wisløff explains Article 5 centers the church's ministry on preaching the Gospel and administering sacraments.
- He emphasizes the ministry exists because God's Word and sacraments need authorized proclamation and administration.
Pastoral Role Versus Offering Priest
- Wisløff contrasts Catholic priestly offering with the Lutheran pastor's dual role of preaching and administering sacraments.
- He argues the New Testament knows no other sacrifice for sins than Christ's single offering.
Only One Divine Office
- The Lutheran view holds there is only one divine office: preaching the Gospel and administering sacraments.
- Differences between priests and bishops are administrative, not theological, per Wisløff.
