I see a potential issue. When we're considering what is observed vs. what is commanded, that leaves some leeway - commanded vs. good and necessary implication. My opinion is that the Lutheran church, along with tradition (but not more-so), relies on the second as much as the first. For myself...

Edit: Found your new thread - I'll re-post this

An interesting question! I was influenced many ways in my faith. My parents are Presbyterian, and I grew up in that deenomination. If I had not made a move to canada from the states, I would most likely still be a part of that church (PCUSA). There are things I disagree with there, but that also...

Getting much needed sunshine and listening to some relaxing Jazz

I'm surprised with all the reno work you've been doing. Or is that part of the issue? It seems to be never ending

Sick Friday night into Saturday, so Saturday was a blur - lots of sleep. Today's not bad just really sore

How is what you say below not what you've just done (e.g. inference and implication about what is observed and what is not?). The inference and implication made is that because infant baptism is not explicit (and you disregard holy tradition) it did not happen.

A dead mortal can pick up a bible and "see" what sin is, then declare he is not a sinner. The revelation of sin is of God. The following of direction follows the revelation - it is not of us, but of God

Soooo... Magic?

Trials don't happen to absolve personal responsibility. If that was true, many circumstances in my life would be quite different. I sense there may be some questioning of my motives and intent in the situation as well as my feelings toward this family. I understand and am empathetic toward the...

Finding out that psalms 91 beat my high score in Hearts!!!! Come on, you don't just leave that for a guy to find out on his OWN... :D

Here i think it's 50+, some are 45+. I like the spot where I am is the thing. It's a good size for me. The suite isn't an apartment, but a ground level basement suite with the main part of the home above me. But my suite gets a lot of natural light, is really clean, and has a nice patio area to...

Absolutely, and I don't want this to come across as hate for mom or kids. Mom has her hands full, and is pretty decent for the times I've talked with her. The kids get all the respect in the world from me when I see them. I understand that kids are kids and there will be noise - that's the...

So an update. I finally went to the landlord with a 'Loss of Quiet Enjoyment' letter. It's basically a form letter that a person edits as they need, but I've let him know now in writing what the issue is. So now he's responsible to address it with the tenant. It came to a head on Sunday when I...

Really, this is where the OP is leading? I thought the video was pretty neat...

Anyone you choose to ignore, I guess. As it is, I haven't chosen you :) There was a certain "flat earther" who was tolerated beyond (imo) what was reasonable before finally being shown the way out, but I don't recall any others

Enjoying my press-board side table from Wal-Mart. I was looking for an outdoor table for my little patio space and found nothing but cheap junk that was more than a $20 Sauder table. Doesn't take much to make me happy :D

^^^which, in itself, is a derail. It seems you have taken issue with some of the members of the site. Here is a good place to address these concerns - any conversations you have there are confidential between yourself and the admins and they will be more than happy to hear you out and resolve...
