Yes, I am from Norway - born and bred. My name here kind of gives it away

Norway is already a member of NATO and was one of the founding members

The Sami do not like being called "Laplanders" though. So, stick with Sami

That didn't make much sense. Can yo explain? When I said "I assume" about Denmark and Sweden, then it is not totally without reason. I read Swedish news regularly. I do not follow Danish news on a daily basis, but I know the country well. So, I have a fairly good understanding of how those...

The reason why Norway has ended Covid restrictions is because almost every adult has been vaccinated and lots of teenagers as well. There is hardly any resistance to vaccines in Norway. Probably because Norway has a highly educated population. I assume the same reasons apply for Sweden and Denmark

Fun fact: Denmark is more than four times as densely populated as the US

This is not correct. The Church's own website even says: Even during the Norway's political union with Sweden, the Church of Norway was not much influenced by the Churhc of Sweden ("i løpet av de neste hundre år med svensk-norsk union ble ikke Den norske kirke i særlig grad ble påvirket av Den...

This option is still available. It is only the UK that is no longer part of it. But if you get a residence permit in one EU country, then you can still move freely to any EU/EEA country. It is just that the UK has disconnected themselves from this set-up. Most other countries in Europe still...

Today the Norwegians won Olympic Gold in beach volleyball

There is no state church in Norway anymore. It used to be - but no longer. The former state chuch is now in transition. There are plenty of free churches in Norway - every town has a fair selection of them. Main denominations of the free churches are Pentecostal, Lutheran and Congregational...

We had consistently 25 to 30 degrees in Oslo in July. The sun is up 20 hours per day, and it never really gets dark even in the middle of the night

They switched from left to right. I guess they just wanted to get things right :) On a more serious note: All countries around Sweden were driving on the right side of the road. There is a lot of traffic crossing the border from Norway, Finland and Denmark, and I guess it would just be easier...

The rules for getting a citizenship varies from one country to the next. So, you need to check the rules specific to whichever country you think you can get a citizenship in. Be aware that in some countries - like Germany - you will have to renounce your US citizenship in order to become a...

It was Sweden who did it. But yes, they did it over-night. It is one of my early child-hood memories: Crossing the border from Norway into Sweden and my dad had to take the car to the other side of the road. The roads were like an X at the border

ummm.. no. Guns are not illegal in Norway. Hunting is a very common hobby in Norway. Also, sports like shooting and biathlon is popular

These were very old people (80+ years). They died after getting the vaccine, but not because of the vaccine. This was later established by Norwegian Health Authorities that investigated the cases.

Not too many and not too often. Most would have done it but it is not that common. I suggest that it is a minority of Americans who drive across the US regularly as well. However, Norwegians do travel a lot and do not shy away from driving very long trips. Besides, Norwegians tend to drive a lot...

Except that Norway is 2.500 kilometres from north to south. That's like form New York to Colorado

Norway has has free health care for 60 years or more - and free higher education for much longer. Still is a capitalist country. So if it is laying the ground-work for Socialism then it is in the very long run

I would first ask a more fundamental question: What is the Biblical mandate for a pastor? You seem to assume that this is Bible teaching, since you use a verse that speaks about teaching to say something about being a pastor. Do you think teachers and pastors are the same thing?
