We have left our church.
After discussing differences in, I suppose you could say theology, we have reached a point where our differences are irreconcilable.
I've been mourning the loss over the weekend, but now I have complete peace and look forward to finding the place God wants us to be.
If there were a Lutheran church I'd go to it, but there isn't one for hundreds of miles.
Hello mercyreigns,
You guys are moving fast. I would like to recommed two books to you that I feel would help you in your inquiries into Lutheranism:
I wish you and your husband God's blessing and guidance,
Till

Thanks, I'll look them up. Actually I had to order one, Hammer of God is my husband's 'cyber name'!
Yes things are moving fast, but once you have seen truth, compromise is an unbearable. Mind you, I didn't expect anything to happen this fast!

Isin't amazing how God works in our hearts?

Rev 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Rev 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

He feels the same. I guess you had to be there to understand the situation properly, but twice one of the leaders confirmed that the teaching in question was heretical, but they still defended it! I really can't understand their thinking.
They are going down the 'seeker sensitive'/'emergent' road.

Amen! This is most certainly true.

1 Peter 5:8-9
Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world.
That is good. It is very important that you are in this together. I know by own experience how it is when a couple is not of the same conviction.
If you would like to get in touch with pastors of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England (and Scotland of course) Porterross or myself can help you. But as you were saying: There isn't a Lutheran church on the Shetland islands.

I looked at that site, it's how I knew there was nothing around
Thanks for the offer of help, but I'm not sure how the church would be of a practical help, unless someone wanted to move up and open one! But if you had something else in mind, you might have to explain in easy steps!
