    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    I think I said this before, months ago, but I don’t think I was ever asked if I believe in Luther’s Catechism. I had to take a Rooted Experience class (now just called Rooted) then we had some thing in the Worship Center where we were introduced while remaining standing in front of our seats.I...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    OTOH, God could’ve created in 6 natural days and the earth could still be old….but then again, that doesn’t address my belief in theistic evolution. Do you believe in theistic evolution?

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    What kind of red flags? I know at least one of the pastors at the ND church is an old earth creationist and as far as theistic evolution, he said that that isnt necessary for salvation. Jesus is.

    Is it? Because like I said before the words are synonyms.

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Yes, and Josiah has pointed out that this is not doctrine but it is the teaching and position of the church. I don’t see how that’s much different from doctrine, if at all.

    Yes, but athe modern day LCMS have upheld the teachings.

    No but I do keep a Christian planner in which I write lots of Scripture and Christian lyrics, memes etc.

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Ok, but it IS the church teaching. So, what’s the difference between teaching and dogma? According to Dictionary.com they are synonyms.

    So IOW, the LCMS rejects atheistic evolution but doesn’t have a position on theistic evolution? And it doesn’t demand belief I. six literal days (as humans today define days). And when you said “in his own view”, it’s merely his opinion, not church teaching?

    Ok, thanks for clarifying. And for me to be clear, I don’t believe in atheistic evolution either.

    That’s why I’ve been thinking about leaving: “We teach that….” “We reject every doctrine which….”

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    From what I’ve read the ELCA is supposed to be a really popular church and maybe it is in other suburbs nearby. I don’t know. I do know that my friend has another church(s) she could attend that’s close to where she lives…..she has a pretty far drive to her church but it’s their church home and...

    Define dogma……I know it’s official church teaching even though my pastor doesn’t seem to care about my difference in beliefs.

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Yeah, but it’s farther than I want to drive. Well that, and I don’t think it’ll be open for much longer. My friend invited me to her ELCA church and from what I hear, numbers are really dwindling, they now have only one service and the closed the preschool.

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Well, it’s pretty final…..unless I can’t find a reasonable alternative. I just want to have a church home nearby that I’m comfortable with and I can agree with.
