Hmm, I am not familiar with the LCMS, but I know that the church follows "Sola Scriptura", from checking the LCMS website.
My two biggest problems with them was that they believe the universe is around 6000 years old, and don’t believe in the theory of Evolution, I returned to my Catholic roots. I did have some very interesting conversations with my then-pastor though.
Amen to that. The RCC was also founded by Jesus himself.
But of course you are welcome.
I didnt know where else to put it and I hang out here a lot anyway though I don’t participate in the threads much. Much of your conversations go over my head. LOL.Thanks for the thread.
Might be better placed in another location to get the responses you are looking for.
Geeks about Theistic Evolution and such hang around here.
So the LCMS website identifies the LCMS as “Evangelical”? I can’t find that.
Like I said you are always welcome.
There isn’t much activity going on there. I used to post on that subforum when I was Lutheran but I asked the question anyway. People feel free to answer here, too.Like I said you are always welcome.
As far as your question, consider here?
The website itself does not explicitly identify the LCMS as "Evangelical", but can be somewhat inferred based upon the dictionary definition and the ideologies posted on the LCMS website.
But hey, inferences can be wrong sometimes, and I am not Lutheran, so it is best to let others answer your original question, and not me.
I’ve got a book on hold at the library called “Exvangelicals: Loving, Living and Leaving the White Evangelical Church”, by Sarah McCammon.But hey, inferences can be wrong sometimes, and I am not Lutheran, so it is best to let others answer your original question, and not me.
That sounds like a good idea for you. Hopefully the book works out for you. Libraries are a wonderful resource for studying up on anything, including faith.
I LOVE the library!!!!! My husband put up bookshelves for me and then one day, after years of buying books and ignoring the library it occurred to me that I was spending an awful lot of money on books I‘ll read only once. Plus I had to clear out a bunch of books to make room for more books. It seemed kind of pointless when I have a good library not far from my house.
Agreed. My library is <50 meters (150 ft) away, and it has free DVD rentals, so I can watch any new movie released three to six months ago, as well as older movies. Plus, plenty of free audiobooks and paper books.
