    ( Insert Church here) by Choice and Why Thread

    Absolutely. One of my co- workers, actually, is a very devout member of the Anglican Church in North America ( ACNA) and there are Anglican Catholics who emphasize historic, liturgical Anglicanism very much. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is a heretical body that calls itself "...

    Trump may sign new executive order on health care soon

    Unfortunately, relocating to another country isn't as easy as it might sound. It's not all about the money, either.

    ( Insert Church here) by Choice and Why Thread

    Okay, I'm back. Well, let me get started right away by saying that I was brought up as a Southern Baptist and their emphasis on Scripture is certainly something I appreciated. In Sunday School, I was the guy who asked some pretty tough questions ( I had been interested in Church History from a...

    Hey, I'm just going to post this real quick before I go to work. I'll get into it in more detail later, but I am a member of a Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod church as an answer to prayer. I was looking for a Biblically based, liturgical church whose doctrine didn't deviate from area to area...

    Faith hope and charity

    Lutherans look at faith as not only an intellectual assent, but as that which applies the promises of the Gospel to the individual. Faith leads to love, which is manifested in good works to our neighbor.

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    Hoc est Corpus Meum. " This is my Body." Who cares as to the " how?" What matters is the "is." That said, I now withdraw.

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    I was just trying to offer up my agreement that " is" does mean " is," while adding that this doctrine is so vital to the life of the Church, it determines who may participate in the Sacrament of the Altar and who may not. For some of us, this is the pinnacle of the Christian experience.

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    That's why we have Closed Communion.. Of course "is means is." That's why the Lutherans and the Zwinglians couldn't agree to a common Communion at the Colloquy of Marburg.. they weren't in agreement about the bodily Presence of Jesus Christ in the bread and Wine. Scripture states that those who...

    Trends on church attendance

    I honestly can't really say I'm surprised at all by all this. With our cultural media and the emphasis on people doing their own thing, such a trend is to be expected.

    National Coffee Day!

    Extra Large Hot Coffee, ten creams and ten sugars from Dunkin Donuts! Otherwise, Maxwell House French Roast at home.

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    Sure God talks to us. Through Word and Sacrament, Law and Gospel, we know full well what His will for us is. If somebody's hearing voices, they might want to get a psychological evaluation.

    Why do Christians think God talks with them?

    Why would anyone possibly want to whine about you? You seem like a decent enough fellow to me.

    Rapture?

    Yes, indeed, this right here. What does it say in Deuteronomy? That we are to keep those things revealed to us, but the secret things belong to God? Also, Paul says somewhere not to go beyond that which is written. We needn't understand everything now, but later all will be revealed, in the...

    Voting your moral values.

    Credit where credit's due, I can agree with that. He actually has come through for us in that regard.

    Voting your moral values.

    The thing about that was that during his campaign, Trump identified very strongly with the Christian Right, had photos taken of him praying and speaking out about his Presbyterian faith, e.g...

    International Idiocy.

    I think all that one knows how to do is to come up with creative suggestions as to how to make grass edible.

    Nah, probably not.
