Thank you, and it's wonderful to finally feel like there is a real church 'home'. :)

Hello, I'm newly Lutheran and was just wondering if this commentary is good, or if it's something that misrepresents conservative Lutheran ideas. I'm just trying to get a good grasp of the Confession. Thanks

I know it probably is true and a real potential future, but why does He let other entities, spirits, and whatnot speak to me rather than angels or Him? I want to only have a connection with God through Jesus, yet, when I try to listen to Him, I hear nothing. It always seems I'm being used by...

I'm somewhat reluctant to post this as I am a cessationist, but I can't stop it. When I sleep, I dream of the future of a singularity AI infrastructure that humanity becomes a part of, as well as transhuman babies being birthed, and dark elf-like creatures that live with humanity, yet try to...

I've been an avid lover of the Revised Version and American Standard Versions of the Bible, mostly the OT's usage of Jehovah for LORD (the Tetragrammaton). However, when it comes to the NT text, it seems more similar to Textus Receptus than most newer CTs (UBS & NA). Is there an argument that...

From a purely rational standpoint, if God's ways are above our ways, and his thoughts above our thoughts: why can't this ceaseless debate just stop and realize they both are right. I believe either side of the divide would grant that if a drop of dew fell in a specific place on a blade of...

I posted this as a warning not to singular individuals to debate me on, but to warn the church as much as possible to stay watchful with the truth of Scripture as front lets between their eyes, that they may not be deceived: and, if they see these things in their brothers and sisters, to try to...

I was deceived because none taught me what it was: because I didn't know where the deception was to bait me in, the snare caught me before I'd even knew I was deceived. I thought I had a true interpretation of Scripture, and of Christ's mission on Earth. I cannot blame any but myself in this...

You have it all wrong, though your example is right: the top determines by example, what the expectations of the average citizen ought to be. This is why wickedness in leaders and teachers is condemned much more harshly: the citizenry already has natural impulses to sin in the flesh. If none at...

It's true, Phillippians has much to teach in way of God's love for His faithful, and where to see His blessings. Personally, my favorite is Zepheniah, seeing God's preservation of His people through His wrath. It reads much like it could be also read for this world today to warn of God's...

To answer your question on my profile page, as I didn't see a reply button or way to message you, my screen name is based on John 10:1-5: 1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2But...

Surely, but to also be aware of the deceptions of the enemy that we may reach those that have fallen into the snare. It's about spreading the truth of God's Word as well as being rooted individually against these things.

The spread of the New Age Movement is alive and well in this day and age, and, as a Christian, it greatly pains me to see unsuspecting former Christians dabbling in things they ought not. Occult symbolism pervades in commercials, music (even 'Christian'), movies, and television; and like the...

Not to derail my own thread,but truly, the New Age has perverted most of the present-day church: one must hold true doctrine while not jumping into legalism. Christ's example is our ideal life as God's faithful, not being overly politicized to forget his life in reaction to the culture we ought...
