    Reading of the OT

    I'm just wanting to discuss the OT and what it means to all of you. I know the comman perception is that the OT is law and the NT is gospil, and of course being Lutherans we know we are not saved by the keeping of the law, including the 10 commanments. I have been focusing on the OT more and...

    What parts of the bible are you reading?

I've been through them both a number of times, but it seems that my memory doesn't remeber what I would like ^_^ Does anyone else have that problem? Certain parts I can remeber almost...

    Unified Democrats mirror Obama budget priorities

    I'm getting very tired of all the lies and cover ups of what they are doing :mad: and blaming Pred. Bush for what the liberal congress has done all by themselves :doh: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090325/ap_on_go_co/congress_budget

    Romans 13

    We have a monday night bible class and we are wrapping up our current study. Last night after services I asked Pastor if he would consider a study on Romans 13. I am having a considerable amount of trouble accepting our new government leaders and this rush towards socialism and what I really...

    Who is your favorite OT bible Prophet?

    I've been making my way thru the OT again and am in Jeremiah right now. He certainly didn't have it very easy, but then not many of them did have it easy. Its nice to know that The Lord will have a special place for them in heaven.

    Favorite dozen or so books of the bible

    I know its hard to limit them to just a dozen so I won't count if you list more then 12 ;) and our Lord is certainly happy that you don't limit yourself to just 12 also. There aren't any in the NT that I do not read often and I usually try to start with Matthew and read thru Revelations, but...

    What makes a conservative????????????

    Other then the obvoius things such as abortion, gay marriage, full belief in the bible and what God has said, what else is important to you? My hopes are to define what a conservative is and perhaps edit the OP so that these things can be discussed more easily.

    Holiness discussion......

    I'm guessing this heading may attract some outsiders :) I for one don't believe in the holiness doctrine as I'm sure most of you don't either, but as I was setting in church this morning before the service started I thought about it. We teach that we do participate with "Santification" which...

    Reading the OT again

    Unlike many of you, I am a very weak reader, but thanks be to The Lord He has gotten me into the habit of reading my bible nearly every morning. I have always had my heart in the gospils and the epistles, trying to read a little of the OT from time to time, but its been a few years since I...
