No, I just wanted to let you know why this is such interest to me. I have more looked at Orthodox, and Catholic on this, it is good to know other liturgical churches have their own ideas.

Lutherans like the RCC and Orthodox don't have a drop of Calvinism in them and are Sacramental and Liturgical. We are to be friendly with each other.

As the old saying goes: Baptists are foresters in the OT and Lutherans are tourists. My OT theology is weak.

I myself really enjoy Old Testament theology, which is really quite interesting when we get into the Patristic exegesis of the Old Testament. Have you read any of my posts in which I talked about the two historical schools of Old Testament hermeneutics?

By the way, one of the elders on this forum who I greatly admire is a Baptist minister who I have been blessed to interact with on occasion, @Der Alte , who has great knowledge of the original Hebrew and Greek of the Old and New Testaments, and has done some excellent work in the Controversial Christian Theology forum refuting Universalists, Annhilations and other people who have shall we say controversial ideas about what Scripture says, which can only be discussed in Controversial Christian Theology, where I don’t have enough patience to participate that much (especially Full Preterism, sad to say I can’t understand where they are even coming from, much less agree with them).

You got that right. I just can't tolerate deliberate fabrication of truth. If there was one person who has the patience of Job @ CF it is Clare73.....I try never to go to Controversial forum....I personally have high school friends who live very comfortable in that environment.

Sorry, this is going to sound unbelievaby daft, but what environment is it your friends live in?

I fear I’ve lost the plot this morning ..
