    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 5

    I got a phone call from my admissions counsellor at Concordia Seminary- St. Louis. My application has been declined. I am currently processing this and planning to have a quiet night cap to console myself.

    Justification

    Wouldn't Scotch make it Caledonian coffee?? Sorry, I took and passed the ELCEs yesterday and I'm still kind of excited about it.

    Ruth's Friendship Fellowship-Everyone Welcome, Come On In - Part 5

    Around the block when I can get away with it, but generally all the way down to the park ( four blocks away). I've got a fat old lumpy beagle who pours himself off the couch and stands in front of me whenever I get the leash out.

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    Therein lies the seduction. It's just like when the Devil said to Eve, “Did God actually say, ‘You[a] shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” ( Genesis 3:1) The Evil One begins with an exaggeration and then he goes on to contradict God's word. Eve listens to him, breaks the only rule God has...

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    Science will undoubtedly prove you and the Bible right. I find it rather amusing that as science advances, we find more and more Biblical truth being shown to be correct, while secular theories drop by the wayside. Lest anybody forget, the Theory of Evolution is still a theory, not a proven Law...

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    I believe in the literal truth of the account of Adam and Eve, simply because it ties in so seamlessly with the rest of Holy Scripture. Adam and Eve ate a forbidden fruit, death came into the world and Jesus countered that when He came to earth. Allegories are fine, but when it comes to Sacred...

    Modern views can distort truth

    That's right and remember Luther's ( and Scripture's) many warnings about people trying to cram divine revelation into the confines of human reason. Such reason has proven not only inadequate, but destructive in many ways, especially when the attempt is actively made to subject matters of faith...

    Could it all be a fraud?

    Short answer: " No." Long answer: " See short answer."

    "What if Christianity is Wrong?"

    What if Christianity is wrong? That's a question that believers should expect to have flung at them several times by random strangers who don't share their faith. I can only cite 1 Corinthians 15:12- 28: 12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 5

    Still studying for my Entry Level Competency Exams. I took my GRE last Tuesday and I'm going to take Concordia's online test later this month.

    In Christ

    Remove Christ and all you have is eternal damnation, which is perfectly just on the part of God. Justification is entirely Christ's work on our behalf. To suggest anything less would be an echo of Pelagianism.

    Roseanne Show To Be on This Tuesday on ABC

    From what I recall, the old Roseanne shows did introduce a lot of socioeconomic issues to the audience that were pertinent in the nineties, but politics were barely addressed at all.

    Happy St. Patricks Day!

    I wore a blue and white shirt to work on St. Patrick's Day that said " Lucky to be Scottish, happy St. Patrick's Day." Nice white shamrocks and a Saltire.

    Lutheran Only Lutherans: How can We do Better?

    Good point. We also tend to be a little understated when we do have a chance to share the Gospel with others, I think. I don't know if that reticence is a cultural thing, or if a fiery evangelical spirit just wasn't part of the Lutheran paradigm in the face of Reformed Calvinists and Anabaptists...
