I have been attending an ELCA church for about a year. I have been attending a weekly bible study and made a comment about scripture and the need to study scripture. I felt I received a rebuke from the pastor for my own study of scripture. Are Lutherans very close to RCC in discouraging bible study? I had thought Martin Luther and his belief in a Bible to be understood by all that it was to be encouraged. I think I am pretty close to belief with Martin Luther but not such much with ELCA.
Does the ELCA teach that all are saved? I have heard some comments that make me believe that universalism is taught outside of the liturgy of the church.
