I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, which is an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. If I consume even trace amounts of the aforementioned substances I become extremely ill. What is the stance of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod on using wheat and gluten free communion wafers as an option for a person in my position?

What are the verses of the Bible which confirm the Divinity of Jesus - that Jesus is God?

The Jewish religion from the time of Moses until about the 14th Century permitted a Jewish man to have more than one wife.  For example, if a Jewish man had a wife who had a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, he could keep the first wife and marry the second wife to have children. Please give me the canon of the church and its date that prohibited a second wife.

I am wondering what the LCMS position is on pastors performing outdoor weddings off of church grounds, say at a beach or a park? Is this allowed?
