Good reply. I'm wondering how many foks here know that God created light before He created the sun, moon and stars? You can read right in Genesis.

I have read the whole bible at least 100 times, probably closer to 150. But I like to read the bible and I find God's Word refreshing and full of life.

May I suggest trying a WELS Lutheran church. You can ask the WELS Pastor about any questions or doubts you have and he will give you a reply straight out of the bible, and more then likely from more then one passage. Follow this link to a WELS church finder-- WELS Yearbook

This is really quite simple. I don't know what bible text you are using but possibly what you are using is misleading you. Here is the EHV version of same scripture. 35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never...

My condolences. I lost my younger brother also last year.

I can't blame you Shane. Without the traditional liturgy, hymns, and solid law and gospel sermons, what reason would there to attend such a service. As far as your daughter ang going to a Baptist service maybe you should ask God where is best for her? I know how important it is to raise small...

I would be someone you can call traditional. I lean only on Jesus 14 “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his...

I doubt whether this will ever happen in this life time. I am an old member here and a former staffer. I've been a WELS member for 60 years or more. WELS has had many past meeting with the LCMS but instead of drawing us closer the LCMS drifted away even farther from Luther's teachings and from...

The answer to your question is, Yes God did order the Israelites to go in and destroy all life. But I think your real question is Why! God had promised this land to Abraham and his descendants many years prior to this order. God keeps His promises. Why destroy the Cananites? If you read...

I remember that picture, could I have a more recent one?

I am 60 plus year member of the WELS and I wouldn't haven't any other way. Our church is very traditional and very conservative. Have you ever consider this- Do you go to church to worship God Almighty, or do you go for another reason, and if you do go for another reason then how will you be...

Oh, by the way, I'm not new, I've been here for over 20 years but I haven't posted much in the last 10 years and the puter lost me.:liturgy:

If you folks have questions about the Bible and what it says, why not oper'er up and see what God says? You just may be surprised, and if you read enough then you will have answers to all your questions.

[OUOTE="Arcangl86, post: 69763072, member: 344714"] My understanding is that most restrict communion to members of that congregation, [/QUOTE That's not quite true for WELS anyway. The WELS will serve Holy Communion to any WELS or ELS member of any congregation. I have been a WELS member for...

Our laws mean little if anything. Even our so called president has violated almost every article of the US Constitution. The only thing you can do is to vote for people who uphold your views, if you can find any. If you have a chance to vote down abortion of course do it, but I doubt that will...

The WELS statement was virtually unchanged, thats the reason why it was so quick. It was already written in the same format without any changes. It was simply put out in front because of the federal law's thinking they had the right to speak for the whole country. It was also addressed to every...

I hope you find comfort in the arms of Jesus your Savior. You may see the worship service is similar, but different. Our worship is all of God. Saints, Mary and all the others are not objects of our worship. The only thing that matters is Christ Jesus our Savior, and we never get tired of...

There aren't any missing passages. What happened in the KJV is that the historians found that scipes had added a few lines here and there, and down through time they were no longer marked as scribe added passages. So there you are. I know, I had problems with this some 20 years ago too. But...

The sabath was a saturday, but we are obeying the commandment by worshipping on sunday, or on any day. We are not bound to a certain day. The whole reason we are to obey the commandments if for our own good, so that we do not lose faith or go off on our own and foillow other gods. We are not...
