    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...

    Jonah was grumpy

    Jonah didn't want to do what the Lord wanted him to do so he fled. Then after he went to Ninevah he was grumpy that the people repented and were saved. We see him happy for once when God had a plant grow next to him for shelter. But then God allowed a worm to cause the plant to whither and we...

    The Filioque Clause

    The filioque is Latin for "and son". We have an old thread HERE but never really got into it much. The East and the West were split over the addition to the Nicene Creed. Our Statement of Faith includes both versions: Who proceeds from the Father Who proceeds from the Father and the Son...

    OT & NT Correlation of offerings

    I'm reading this article No. 25: The Theology of the Drink Offering and am enjoying some of the correlations the author puts together for OT and NT. Second, it should be noted that, even when the people of Israel entered into a conquered the land, it was only God who was given the wine of the...

    God's creation of the church

    Luther believed that God first established His church in Genesis. First by giving Adam the word of God by saying that he shouldn't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He also pointed out that God rested on the 7th day after His work was done and that man is to worship on the...

    The power of death

    Does Satan truly have the power of death? Hebrews 2:14 "Therefore, since the children share in [a]flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.."

    Should women be forced to experience pain in childbirth?

    In Genesis 3:16 God said, ""I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children;" Some people in the 19th century believed that women should not have pain relief during childbirth because of the above verse!

    Changes from OT to NT and beyond

    We know that when Christ died and was resurrected that there were changes that happened. People no longer had to do some of the these they were commanded in the Old Testament now that the Savior fulfilled the prophecy. What things can you think of that stopped/changed such as the sacrifices?

    Treatment of women in the bible

    Do you think that the bible tries to make women appear inferior? Are they ever treated as equals?

    Dominion

    In Genesis 1:28 God gave man dominion over the animals, fishes and birds. I've heard arguments about what people think this means (especially from vegetarians/vegans). So what is dominion?

    Who were the outsiders?

    In Exodus 12 scriptures tell us of the Passover and the rules for it. Concerning Exodus 12:48-49 “Suppose an outsider living among you wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover. Then all the males in that home must be circumcised. After that, the person can take part, just like an Israelite...

    Jesus did not say the word "grace"

    I was reading earlier about things not mentioned in the bible and one site made a point of stating that Jesus never said the word "grace" in the scriptures. My thoughts immediately were, so what? Does that change salvation which is by God's grace through faith? Reading on, it seemed that some...

    Open Minds

    As Christians should we have an open mind? In church we want to receive God's Word so having an open mind there is a good thing. But we are told to watch out for false doctrine so having an open mind might allow bad theology to seep in. What do you think?

    Hardships in the Bible

    Prosperity teachers want people to believe that those of faith will become wealthy and have no burdens as if that's God's will for all believers. What examples from the bible do you find that believers suffered hardships and weren't wealthy or prospered? Endure suffering along with me, as a...

    When people doubt that the Holy Spirit is at work

    The Holy Spirit guides us into truth and guides us into producing fruit and doing works He has planned for us. Our sinful nature gets in the way. I see people complain a lot about other Christians trying to judge if they're truly Christian because THEY don't see them doing good works or...

    Sometimes when someone dies we might hear "He was a good man. He will be in heaven." Do a lot of people believe in this? That they get to heaven by being good?
