Christian and Lutheren
What is the difference between them? I have decided to put my faith into one of them cause i know they both involve Jesus and the Bible but how are they different?do you go to hell for being one over the other? do they worship the same god? and where can i get a bible? also is it true that luthern is based off the bible. I have ruled out Catholic. Also is mastrubating a sin? I will rate 5's for decent help.

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
After reading what the others have said they are right about the difference in the religions. But why are you limiting your self to these two? There are so many, just like shopping for a car, you should test drive them all. For masterbation to be a sin you must first believe in GOD. Religion is based on faith and belief, just like a theory or an opinion, (yet to be phyiscally proved) to each their own. Try looking into Kabbalah, you may feel it more rewarding. I hear it's the latest among the Celebrities. What ever you choose, Best of wishes.

i as a christian am not going to say go the christian way i personaly dont think you should choose a religion each religion has its own practice i think you should just get a bible read it get to know god study it pray go to a church near by and hang out stop by and listen to a sermon or someting talk to a pastor but you cant go wrong with just reading a bible learning some things and praying the best thing to do is pray

Lutheranism is a denomination (a group) within the Christian faith.

I am studying to be a Lutheran pastor.
Lutheranism is a denomination (group) within the Christian faith. Christianity began with Jesus and spread with the stories of the people who believed and followed him as the Savior. The original church was Catholic (after everybody got together), but eventually some people split off and in 1517, one of those people was Martin Luther. Luther believed that we need to focus on the Bible for what is true and that all things are God's gifts to us. We do not have to worry about earning salvation (trying to get to heaven) because God has already saved us through Jesus. God's hope is that we will love our neighbors and try to make thw world a better place. Lutherans, like other Christians, worship Christ.
Lutherans believe all people are messengers for God (priesthood of all believers), in Holy Communion and Baptism, and do NOT pray to Mary.
You can find a Bible at any bookstore or if you ask around, someone may have free Bibles. Look for a New International Version (NIV) or Message...these are easier to read.
Masturbation is not a sin. Just don't let it be the focus of your life.
Please let me know if you have other questions.
Best wishes

There are similarities in the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran
church. Martin Luther, the protestant reformer who founded the Lutheran
denomination, broke from the Roman Catholic Church, but kept the parts of
the faith that were scriptural (based on the Bible). Later reformers did
not do this, which is why there are more similarities between them than other
denominations.
They both practice infant baptism, and communion as sacraments. Roman
Catholics have more sacraments than Lutherans do.
Lutherans also reject purgatory, praying to the saints, and praying to Mary as
unscriptural.
Their services are very similar in that they are both liturgical. There is a
set format. They both also have Bible readings, but a sermon that is based on
the readings as well.
Lutheranism is based on scripture alone. Roman Catholism is based on
scripture + Papal decrees + Church history.
Lutheran churches are governed locally, not from a big church hierarchy. You can get a bible from any bookstore.
Christians follow the teachings of, and about, Yeshua of Nazareth, commonly referred to as Jesus Christ. (Jesus is the Greek form of Yeshua which is normally translated as Joshua; Christ is Greek for "the Messiah" or the "anointed one.") Most Christians regard him as the son of God. They further believe that he is God, the second person in the Trinity. (The Trinity consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; three separate persons, all eternal, all omnipresent, all omnipotent, all omnibeneficient, who form a single, unified deity.) Most Christians believe that Jesus co-existed with God before the creation of the world, was born of a virgin, was bodily resurrected three days after his death, and later ascended to Heaven. Most conservative Christians believe that Hell awaits anyone who has not repented of their sins and trusted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Church history:
After Jesus's death, his followers formed the Jewish Christian movement, centered in Jerusalem.
Saul of Tarsus, originally a persecutor of the Jewish Christians, reported having a vision of the risen Christ, circa 34 CE while on the road to Damascus. Adopting the new name of Paul, he became the greatest theologian of the early Christian movement. His writings, along with those of the author(s) of the Gospel of John, provided much of the theological foundation for what has been called Pauline Christianity, a movement that he spread throughout the northern and eastern Mediterranean basin. Paul's ministry was directed mainly to Gentiles -- non-Jews. Another belief system was Gnostic Christianity. They taught that Jesus was a spirit being sent by God to impart knowledge to humans so that they could escape the miseries of life on earth.
The Roman Empire recognized Pauline Christianity as a valid religion in 313 CE. Later in that century, it became the official religion of the Empire. From there the crusades and such happened and Christianity evolved (heh) into what it is today.
That last part about church history, I actually looked up online. My knowledge of religious history isn't that great. It's something I need to work on.
My question to you is what made you return to religion? You signed a former atheist. As a non-believer myself I am wondering why the change of heart.

Technically you shouldn't go to hell as long as you're faithful to God. I'm not religious, but what religion you are that worships him shouldn't matter. Do some research, they both worship God, you can get bibles anywhere, Luthern is the religion that came from Catholism but didn't agree with all views, and yes masturbating is a sin.

Lutheran is a type of christianity like cathlotic an protestant.

Lutheran is a part of Christianity just like Catholic and Baptist. If you're Lutheran, you're still Christian. If you're Catholic, you're still Christian. Yeah, they believe in the same god. And yeah masturbation is a sin but so is swearing.

All Lutherans are Christian... not all Christians are Lutheran... Lutherans split from the Catholic church under their follower Martin Luther way back when.
The God of the Catholics is the same God of the Jews, Lutehrans, generic Christians, and any other faith descended from the Judeo-Christian family of religions.
Some old-school, closed minded thinking was that if someone didn't belong to your sect, they'd be going to hell. Since this meant that everyone was going to hell, people started to get their heads out of their asses and realize that was stupid to say that.
Masturbation is a matter of sexuality and some religions are rather strict about it, others less so.
