Got anything else?

0 thanks for your reply but I‘m seeking answers in the way these things all contradict science.

All of the above.

Can you debunk some of the more traditional beliefs? I’m familiar with some of what you mentioned but I’d like to read about why the traditional beliefs are wrong.

Why?

We have a lot of people at my church who drive far distances to attend. I wouldn’t but if you really like the church with the longer drive, go for it.

I’d go to the closer one, but I hate driving. Before I joined my Lutheran church I checked out a number of other denominations and non denominational churches and just driving 15-20 minutes irked me. I’ve always lived close to my church. it just always happened that way and now I’m spoiled.

Maybe it’s in there and I didn’t see it. I haven’t read the whole book.

No, i didn’t. But when we were introduced to the groups attending the shindig for us finishing The Rooted Experience, we might’ve said something as a group. This took place in the church. in fact, I think we did. It took place in the church but it wasn’t the entire congregation, just those who...

Yes. That was the point of my attending The Rooted Experience.

Back up that claim……and then debunk the traditional beliefs.

I don’t have the Book of Concord, just Luther’s Small Catechism with Explanation. I don’t see anything about the age of the earth.

Yes, but I never had a Lutheran confirmation. Was I supposed to?

If If a PASTOR and WE aren’t required to believe convention resolutions but only the Book of Concord and Small Catechism (I don’t think I’ve ever been asked if I believe them) then what’s the point of the conference and teaching, for that matter? in order to join my church I had to take a I...

I wasn’t confirmed as a Lutheran.

Don’t you think that those who believe in an old earth have plenty of reasons for believing that, too?

When I was confirmed I was a Catholic.

So, are you saying that the young earth belief in the LCMS isn’t doctrine? Or is it? Because the LCMS Q and A thing online says that the LCMS “does not have an official position on the precise age of the earth since the Bible itself does not tell us how old the earth is.”

Tells you what? That they have many more rules to follow?

I don’t know…the Catholic one is HUGE. but about the men who voted on teaching a young earth at the convention….were they educated just in religion? just educated in science? educated in both?
