Your #2 and this one are yet another great posts. They deserve a cut and paste into personal archives. Thanks.

By far the most authoritative teaching on the Rapture by Lutheran Satire can be found here: (3:53 min)

The first Christian baptism occurred 53 days after the thief's execution. Christian baptism doesn't apply in any way, shape, or form concerning the thief. I have no idea what you are saying in your last post....So I am leaving this conversation and having nothing more to do with it.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for the thief on the cross to be baptized. IMPOSSIBLE. Christian baptism was instituted by Jesus after His resurrection (during the Great Commission) and before his ascension. The first Christian baptisms occurred on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2)...some 53 days AFTER the...

It is always great to have a SDA church in every community. In this way, any catastrophic event which destroys a Sunday worship church can rent out a SDA church facilities for Sunday worship. Of course, the opposite is true.

If I detect lying or deliberate fabrication, I access their account, hit the ignore button and forever block their posts to me. Simple. I get fewer notifications which of course is alright with me.

Hot off the press today. 42:04 Within the last month there was a four hour round table discussion between Justin Peters, Jim Osman, Michael Brown and Sam Storms entitled “Discerning false teachers and false prophets” and can be found on YouTube. Rosebrough uses the common hermeneutical rule...

I am out of this conversation and am going to stay far away from you.

I am not sure what you are trying so say. Are you a Calvinist or an Armenian? And are you saying only 3% of people who believe like you go to heaven? And by this you mean when it comes to Baptism you are an immersionist and reject the real presence in the Eucharist?

What then is your criteria for believing the Reformed Baptists have the corner on the market for the correct interpretation of Scripture? Does being born in Reformed Baptist church denomination automatically make it the church of absolute truth?

Got that one right. One of my pet'tists of all pet peeves are when Baptists accuse all three branches of the Reformation of 'NOT GOING FAR ENOUGH.' This is in specific reference to the Sacraments. The Reformation era goes from 1517 to 1648 (the end of the Thirty Years War). All branches of...

And yet another "if you don't believe as I believe, then it is the false gospel" post. Seen it before, will see it again.

With the Eucharist, I see something different. A complete lack of understanding of how literary devices work. Figures of speech such as Metaphor, Metonmyn and synecdoche expand meaning in language. Theses troupes do not change meaning in language. To change meaning especially with the...

Hot off the Press....released a few hours ago. Eastern Orthodox and Lutheran Theosis.... Jordan B Cooper....President of the American Lutheran Theological Seminary in fellowship with LCMS

My emphasis on most of my posts concerns hermeneutical rules. I probably have five books I have read that really influence my Christian life. Knowing Scripture by RC Sproul is highly influential. This was published in 1977. When Covid hit in 2020, I set out to study specifically how...

For many a American Christians, Matt Slick is main stream. That is why I quote him.

Here are some examples of this hermeneutical rule gathered from the Internet: “If water baptism were necessary for salvation, we would expect to find it stressed whenever the gospel is presented in Scripture. That is not the case, however. Peter mentioned baptism in his sermon on the day of...

I got the pun on that one!

I had the privilege of making the sound of the closing of the Tomb only once about 30 years ago. I got a Strong's Concordance....the largest book I could find and when the Lector said "And the stone was rolled in front of the tomb" I slammed the open concordance closed as hard as I could. It...

Lutherans are not Calvinists and they try very hard to distance themselves away from the term "Reformed." Having said that, there are a few compatibles between Reformed thought and Lutheranism. On the 5 point TULIP scale, Lutherans are 1.5 out of 5. You will rarely hear a Lutheran pastor...
