Just to pass on a thought to you..... for your reactions.... I got to thinking about the "link" between Passover (and the Passover meal) and the Eucharist.... Jesus probably had a reason why He took the Passover Meal and made it the New Covenant meal? The MEAL of the Passover is all meant...

Because it is Holy Week..... and in response to some important words our friend Edail posted elsewhere.... How does SUFFERING relate to Christian faith and doctrine and life? Is there as "theology of suffering?" Is there a "tradition" of suffering? It seems to me suffering is a significant...

It is a foundational, dogmatic insistence in some Christian communities/denominations that while the Bible is inerrant and inspired by God, that it nonetheless is MISSING a whole bunch of really super important things that Jesus taught and that we must know and believe.... The spin goes like...

. I asked this question of Staff and got a big question mark - it seems they don't know. Several at CF - including many active in this forum - make quite a point of publicizing and making known to all here at CF that they are a part of this mysterious group (not indicated anywhere at CF)...

. The Reform rejection of Real Presence in Communion rests on a dogmatic, foundational insistence that IT CAN'T BE. Thus, what Jesus said.... what Paul by inspiration penned.... just CANNOT be the case, and thus we need to interpret the texts so as to make what is said possible. This...

. I don't post in this community any longer, but I thought I'd post this experience over here, too (hoping that's okay).... When I 'moved' from Catholicism to Lutheranism, I gained MUCH. But there was one thing I missed..... and curiously wondered why this was missing in the Lutheran...

My "at home" computer is an HP Pavilion dv7 lap running Windows 7 and with a core i.5. It has one VERY annoying attribute that I can't figure out how to disable. It AUTOMATICALLY updates... and whatever is open at the time is just lost. On my other computers, I'm told that an update is needed...

Fellow Lutherans, In the Theology forums here at CF, there is a constant discussion of "the Sabbath" (especially SDA vs. the world). Part of it has to do with what day we should publicly worship and part of it focuses on the nature of the "sabbath" (for example, if it is a day or....), "rest"...

. (I posted this in "General Theology" -- the interdenominational "debate" forum of CF where I spend most of my time here. I applies there FAR more than here, but perhaps you'll see the humor intended nonetheless. I offer it ONLY for comic relief, poking a bit of fun my myself if not forums...

. 1. Interesting..... when a democrat changes his/her position, the press always calls this "evolving." I heard that word six times during the report this morning (after I started counting). When a Republican changes his/her position, it's consistently referred to as "flip...
