    Halloween Debate Thread

    Kids from other streets in our neighborhood plus new families that moved onto our street made for a busy night, but we didn’t participate because we didn’t think there would be that many trick or treaters. We went to our daughter and son in laws house mid afternoon to see our new grandson in his...

    What do you think about Joel Osteen?

    I like his messages, but I’d like him more if he shared (more?) of the Gospel.

    Did you know your great grandparents?

    When I was little I got freaked out in a visit to a nursing home when one of the residents reached out and either grabbed me or tried to.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Catholic Answers Forums comes to mind. Sheesh. No wonder it closed,

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    For me, mostly the problem is that when I read Scripture and the Bible mentions Jesus’ brothers and sisters it brings me back to Catholicism and their teaching which is different from what I PERSONALLY have learned about the beliefs of the LCMS. Now, maybe my pastor is only speaking his opinion...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Where Biblically does it say or even suggest Mary remained a virgin all of her life?

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    From LCMS Frequently Asked Q and A (a section of the official website of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) QUESTION: My husband and I recently went to see the movie, “The Passion.” I was wondering who the man was with Mary and Mary Magdalene. My husband believes it was Jesus’ brother, James...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Another thing about Mary…..the last time I was at my Catholic church they had a large statue of Mary adorned with something (a crown on her head, perhaps) and a kneeler directly in front of her, to pray. They say they don’t treat her as God, just as an intercessor, but I dunno….. But back to...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Yes, as a Catholic I used to hear that Mary remained a virgin in the biological sense, too. I wondered HOW? But then I just chalked it up to being a miracle.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    I wasn’t sure if I should put this topic here or in Denominations but anyway, as most of you know I used be Catholic and again, most of you know, the Catholic Church holds to the belief Mary was a perpetual virgin having no other children after Jesus. My LCMS church says she had other kids...

    Trunk or Treat

    Yes. This was my first Trunk or Treat so I didn’t know what to expect, but some of the decorations were pretty elaborate. We had a camping theme and they had a tent set up, a “fire”, sticks with marshmallows, sleeping bags etc. I visualized just some crepe paper and maybe some pumpkins or...

    Trunk or Treat

    They probably don’t care. It’s definitely moved indoors.

    Yep. I’m looking forward to it. It’s supposed to be stormy, though, so we might have to move the fun inside.

    Trunk or Treat

    This won’t be on Halloween but the week before. I agree, it’s a good way to meet people. Ive been involved in some things at church but I tend to be a little shy about talking to people I don’t know. I’ve recently started working on that.

    Trunk or Treat

    Is anybody else’s church doing a Trunk or Treat? This Sunday will be my first time going to one, I might volunteer at concessions or the bean bag toss, or just hang out at a trunk and hand out candy. I don’t really know anybody at my church beyond being acquaintances. A friendly acquaintance...
