    Lukewarm

    I think, from what I've read recently and not too in-depth, that the word Lukewarm is found only twice and in the book of Revelation. Yet, it is a word used by some groups of Christians often as they try to describe other Christians. Is there a similar word in Greek that is used elsewhere in...

    Eve thought Cain was the Messiah

    Eve trusted that God would provide a Messiah and when she gave birth to her firstborn son Cain she assumed that it was done. But Cain turned out to not be the Messiah. Galatians 4:4-7 tells us that God works in His own time. It seems Eve was just as impatient as we all are.

    Credobaptists believe in a believers baptism and are against infants being baptized. What about the people with severe disabilities? They never receive baptism that Jesus told the disciples to go out and baptize all nations?

    The hidden God

    From the book The Spirituality of the Cross by Gene Edward Veith, Jr: "To say God is hidden, of course, does not mean that He is absent. On the contrary, someone who is hidden is actually present, just not seen. The child who is hiding in the room is certainly there. God conceals Himself, often...

    The Binding Key

    John 20:21-23 "Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” Jesus gives the...

    Pitting faith against reason

    Our culture tends to place more comfort in reasoning things out rather than faith. We put ourselves in the center of authority rather than God because we need things to make sense to us instead of trusting that God's reasons are not always our reasons. Our human reasoning after the fall was...

    Theology of Glory or Theology of the Cross?

    A Theology of Glory and a Theology of the Cross Everyday in every way we are getting better and better. Really? by Don Matzat "The Protestant theology of glory begins with a one-time trip to the Cross of Jesus Christ." "The theology of the Cross is quite different. The preaching of sin and...

    Did Mary encourage Jesus to turn the water into wine?

    At the marriage in Cana the wine runs out but Mary doesn't come out and ask Jesus to come up with more wine. She just presents the facts to him. Was she hoping for something? Was she encouraging Him? Or was she complaining?

    Trials and Tribulations build us up

    James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. I don't know of too many...

    Passive Righteousness

    http://www.rjgrune.com/blog/two-kinds-of-righteousness "Passive righteousness is the vertical relationship between God and man. God does the work. The only contribution that man brings into this equation is sin. This is a righteousness that is alien; it is completely outside of ourselves."...

    Jewish Weddings and the New Covenant

    Modern weddings are not the same as what we see from the Old Testament. Jesus spoke of the bride and bridegroom because the Jews could relate and knew what was involved in a marriage. The Father normally wanted to search out the perfect bride for his son. Marriages were arranged by the father...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    Yesterday my pastor said during his sermon that Easter is for everyone. It's not just for those who believe. Today I came across a response from another Lutheran pastor elsewhere who said Even without faith Jesus is still Savior. These two lines of thinking point us to what is important...

    When were the sins placed on Jesus?

    I read this on a Lutheran board and thought I'd see what responses came up here. The question on the other board asked for biblical proof so it would be good to have some here too. When were the sins of the world placed on Jesus?

    The church hidden and visible

    Some denominations say church invisible and church visible but Lutherans prefer to say the church hidden and visible. The church hidden is the one holy Christian (catholic) and apostolic church that consists of believers. The church visible consists of the godless among the saints. Pedrito's...
