    House shutters

    We have indoor shutters...no birds, wind or snow...just blasting sun which dries and peels them. I tried covering them with stain but to little avail.

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    God has a way of placing His hand on His people whom He foreknew from before the foundation of the world to bring them unto Himself… even if He must use an evangelist, teacher or retired truck 🛻 driver. Galatians 1:15-16 NASB95 But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and...

    Do you agree that there are verses in the Bible that seem to express contradictory ideas?

    So far so good. Still tracking fine. His righteousness for our sin, so that in the resurrection we shed these mortal bodies for eternal ones which He clothes us with. 1Cor 15 Jesus was God in the flesh, as God, His brief earthly suffering easily covered all the suffering and death of all...

    Should the US Shoot Down that Chinese Spy Balloon?

    It does set a dangerous precedent. If one country is allowed, why not let others? After all, we don't want to be guilty of 'profiling', do we? Shoot it down, we still have borders don't we? (As I write, it's over Kansas, supposedly heading for No. Carolina.)

    Do you agree that there are verses in the Bible that seem to express contradictory ideas?

    The suffering Christians endure in this life is nothing compared to what the Christ rejectors will suffer throughout eternity…He suffered and died so we wouldn’t have to. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, — 2 Corinthians 4:17

    Do you agree that there are verses in the Bible that seem to express contradictory ideas?

    I didn’t see that, but yes, I bolded ‘forever and ever’. I don't think it's up to our vote in any case, but if push comes to shove, I'd throw my hat in with eternal torment...He suffered and died so that we wouldn't have to...He was not annihilated in our stead.

    Do you agree that there are verses in the Bible that seem to express contradictory ideas?

    There is this: Revelation 14:9-11 (NKJV) 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full...

    Accretions

    It does confirm that the sin nature remains as well as… For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. — 1 Corinthians 13:12

    I C, weren’t you the one who asked the question, “What is justification?”?

    Not Happy

    What word do they use? I have never met a Lutheran pastor that didn't use and teach the term 'justification by faith (alone). Article IV of the Augsburg Confession zeroes in on justification.

    Fine, I just hope your pastor has taught you ‘what is justification’ in the past two months.

    You asked, “What is justification?”. Has he been teaching you ‘the very doctrine by which the Church stands or falls’?

    Accretions

    I was in a Scandinavian ELS Church where they didn’t baptize infants because they believed they hadn’t sinned yet. Was that their accretion? John the baptist was filled with the spirit here… When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with...

    Justification answers the question, "How can guilty sinners pass the judgment seat of a Holy God? Answer...God declares (justifies) a sinner (us) righteous by faith in His Son Jesus on account of the merits of Jesus Christ alone and nothing on account of what we do. By it, all glory and...

    Accretions

    Define 'accretion'. I would say it is closer to something added to God's Word, not God's Word itself. Some Jewish people might argue the New Testament is an accretion though.

    That's not a dumb question at all but a very central question to our faith. Perhaps the LCMS pastor should be teaching/feeding his flock true food for the soul before harping on young earth/old earth issues.
