If you believe in satan you believe in Jesus. That's the best advice I can give you. You, believing in the devil and the Savior, know that happens and what is going to happen to the devil and those that reject Christ. You know who is darkness and lies and who is light and truth. You know that...

"I was raped so I'm going to worship satan" Listen to how that sounds. I'm going to be very blunt: that's ignorant, in every sense of the word. It was satan that was behind the raping. He wants you to despise God. Why did God allow that to happen? Who knows. But start listening to God and...

Oh, I'm not saying *should* as if they *do*, but *should* as it is a good idea.

Every Lutheran church should give the paperback edition of Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions to new members (and those that need a copy).

As the head of my household, I (try) to keep my wife and kids (ages 3 and 4) in the word (as much as you can with such young kids), in church, in prayer (that means leading the prayers), and trusting in God in everything we do and having a constant relationship and open communication with him...

Yeah, sure. The church is about 100 years old. For the past 75 years we've kept exactly the same traditions, from our Christmas services to our regular services. Each new pastor is respecting of the traditions of the church. The church got its newest pastor in 2007. He's a great pastor and a...

I go to a humble LCMS church in the next little town over. I live in a town with a population of 300. The town my church is in has a population of 800, yet we have 300 church members. We love our little LCMS so much. :)

Did it take God 6,000 years to create the earth (by earthly standards, that is)? I'm not sure how I feel about the creation account in Genesis. To be taken literally; or to be taken figuratively, given in a way that we humans can have some understanding? Anyways, this would play into the...

2 Maccabees 12 disagrees with the entire NT.

That's not *really* what I'm saying; in a sense, maybe, I suppose. I wouldn't single anyone out for the sole purpose of converting her, or meet someone and cram the Gospel down her throat. I suggest just putting youself out there, so to speak, and once you find a girl that you have a lot in...

God doesn't care about what human's caution against. He will use any method he desires to bring someone to Christ.

Maybe that's been your downfall. You've been looking for a Christian girl, but maybe God wants you to be with a non-Christian so you can share the Gospel with her. You might have just found God's plan for you.

Pick up a hobby that holds events if you don't already have one. There you can meet a woman that shares a common interest with you. There's no telling if she'll be Christian; outside of church we can't really know before hand. You can, however, get to know whoever you meet. If she's Christian...

I don't know of churches that tell their members not to date. Then again, my church-going experiences have been limited; first, a simple Bible church; and now, my LCMS church. Neither one forbade dating. I used to be in your shoes. I thought of myself as a lone wolf (hence the name) not meant...

I didn't suggest joining a church to meet a woman. I suggested finding a church that fits you and that you love. There, you might meet a woman that shares your love of your faith and that you might connect with, whether through church functions, after service chats, etc.

The NT of the OSB is the NKJV. No changes were made. Only the OT was altered.

Do you have any hobbies in which events are held? For example, I am an avid Magic: The Gathering player. I go to tournaments all over my state and those surrounding it. If I weren't married, there would be a ton of girls I could get to know who share the same hobby and passion as myself. You...

This is new to me. Thank you.

LCMS Lutherans don't hate gay people, either. We just don't allow openly and practicing gay pastors, and do not support homosexual lifestyles, and certainly not marriage. There's a difference in struggling from same sex attraction and actually living a homosexual lifestyle.

Not so long ago I was trying to decide which church I wanted to belong to. I'm moderate to conservative, and a traditional liturgical mass/service was/is important to me. My options were, Lutheran, Anglican, Catholic, or Orthodox. The Anglican/Episcopal church is way too liberal for my tastes...
