Good grief what a load of horse manure, much like the bible itself. This is the utter nonsense that Christianity asserts is the truth: That the Creator of the Universe, 13.8 billion years ago, decided to crawl up inside a virgin girl's poon hole in ancient Palestine, 2,000 years ago, and deposit his cosmic seed into her quivering uterus. Because apparently God felt fatherhood calling for the first time in nearly 14 billion years. Yep, God wanted to be a dad. And apparently none of the female Homo Sapiens who walked the Earth during the previous 300,000 years had poon-tang with a sweet enough smell to attract YAHWEH and arouse his mighty penis. And the reason for God desiring a son, after 13.8 billion years of being childless, was because he needed the proper human to be nailed to a chunk of wood and be savagely beaten to death as some kind of idiotic and revolting blood sacrifice for the supposed sins of his own creation. Because nothing says forgiveness quite like the blood of a barbaric human sacrifice. Right?...... Don't 'ya just feel the love!!? So then, supposedly 3 days after the sadistic human sacrifice, the Creator of the Cosmos reanimated the carcas of his son so he could trot around among a small group of ignorant, superstitious peasants as though to say.."Hey fellas, lookie here what I just did! I just brought a 3 day old sack of bones back to life! Aren't you impressed!!? Doesn't that prove what a bad ass God I am? And if you want, I can crawl up inside another virgin's poon hole and do it all again for you!" This is the lunacy that Christians proclaim is 100% true. A god that ignores humankind for thousands and thousands of years before deciding that the time was right to start hanging out with a group of superstitious goat-herders in the Middle East desert, commanding them to adhere to primitive, evil beliefs, all while completely ignoring the lives of the other 170 million people who were living on Earth at that time. Every part of the Christian story is absolute bat-shit crazy nonsense. Christianity is a cult of human sacrifice. Specifically the blood of a human sacrifice. And it's astonishing that any sane, rational person walking this Earth in 2024 should attach themselves to such irrational, immoral, caveman lunacy. But there are 1 billion Hindus that worship monkey gods and elephant gods. And their beliefs are no more or less absurd than the nonsense of Christianity. So fables are obviously comforting for people with a particular gullible mindset. And there are obviously no shortage of those on planet Earth. Hey Christians, how about doing society a huge favor and find the nearest physician that specializes in lobotomies and schedule your appointment immediately! Perhaps they will offer you a discount due to your mental illness. May Zeus bless you!

Actually very interesting. I have hair past my shoulders and have been wondering this for a while. I have facial hair sometimes and wear non feminine clothes. My take on it always was as long as you just aren’t doing things that are feminine.

Amen

I think St. Jerome does a good job explaining why the perpetual virginity is Biblically possible, but he does not demonstrate where it is explicitly taught

Any interest in going through the prophesies and how they were fulfilled? More of an eschatological discussion, but it would be great to have this… Alexander the Great, Pax Romana… how these events fulfill the notions folks claim are still happening and have China, Russia and Korea on their minds instead.

Amen. Praise the Lord for condescending upon us and giving salvation to the unworthy.

All we got in terms of raindows is Joseph's robes, and God's sign that he gave to Noah. That Joseph was given a generational bless while Noah was given a sign that God keeps his promises, neither of these things have much to do with the modern idea of a rainbow sadly.

Itching ears.

The Sparkle Creed is just pure blasphemy.

I miss the days when I told someone I was Lutheran, they asked which hymnal I used instead of asking if there’s a rainbow flag outside my parish.

The ELCA is an absolute disgrace, but this is a new low even for them. The worst part is people seeing that video for the first time will assume it actually is Lutheran.

Like a link in a chain which ,missing,now this chain is not complete,we say create in me a new heart in Christ ,until this link can be replaced that chain is not complete, I pray for their souls and that renew their faith and be as a functional body,but unfortunately most go on without concidering their fate,ll Peter 1:20,21

The what now?!

Why don’t these people just make their own religion instead of committing blasphemy regarding the Christian faith? It’s just another sign of satan’s work on Earth. These so-called pastors will be judged in the end for all the people they led away from the one, true God.

Thank you and God be praised. Please troubleshoot your audio. You have a low feedback loop or something going the last few vids, a popping sound

Thank you Pastor for speaking the truth in love and continuing to answer these questions with clear and biblical answers!

This is my response as a Christian to the sparkle creed. Athanasian Creed II - CONCERNING THE NATURE OF MAN Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Christian faith. Which faith except every man do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt, he shall perish everlastingly. And the Christian faith is this, that we worship the one Godhead in Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who created man in His image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. Mankind in two sexes and two sexes in mankind, neither confounding the sexes nor dividing the kind. For there is one sex of the man, another of the woman, but the kind of the man, of the woman, is one: the nature equal, the weakness co-temporal. Such as the man is, such is the woman. The man created, the woman created; the man finite, the woman finite; the man temporal, the woman temporal. And yet they are not two kinds temporal, but one kind temporal. As they are not two kinds created, nor two kinds finite, but there is one kind created and one kind finite. So likewise the man is fallen into sin, the woman fallen into sin. And yet they are not two kinds fallen, but one kind fallen. So the male is man, the female is man. And yet they are not two kinds of man, but one mankind. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge each sex individually to be man and fallen, so the true Christian religion forbids us to speak of two kinds fallen, but mankind fallen. The first man not begotten but made out of the dust of the ground, called man by God. The first woman not begotten but made of that which was taken from man’s side, called woman by man. So there is one kind not two kinds; two sexes not one sex; man created first so greater, woman created second out of the man so lesser; both equal inheritors of God’s kingdom. So stated again, mankind was created only male and female by the Triune God we worship, who made man in His image. He therefore that will be saved must have this conviction of God and mankind. Furthermore, it is necessary for eternal salvation that he also believe faithfully the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ as man and male. For the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal and incarnate Son of God, and is God, man and male. And He is the head of every man, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God; Christ, equal to the Father as to His Godhead and inferior to the Father as to His manhood; man, equal to Christ as to his manhood and inferior to Christ as to Christ’s Godhead; woman, equal to man as to her manhood and inferior to man as to her creation; for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. The first Adam gave up his body in sleep to gain his body, his bride. Likewise the second Adam, Christ, gave up His body, but in death to create His Body, His bride the Church. He rose again the third day from the dead; He ascended into heaven; He sits at the right hand of the Father, God Almighty; from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. At His coming all mankind both male and female will rise with their own bodies to answer for their own deeds. Those that have done good are Christ’s body and shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire. This is the Christian faith which gives order to the Body of Christ; except a man believe faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved.

Finally, a clear answer to this question!

🕊️1 Kings 17:-18-19 Elijah proven arm of God,at work, Praise the Lord..

I wanted to mention that the description of the video is incorrect, being confused with that of another of your videos.

I am a Calvinist in the Supra veiw and believe that God only chose the elect before the fall, not the reprobate, the elect, and the non-elect come into a fallen world, the the reprobate are passed over and left to their own selfish desires while the elect are brought to Christ and given mercy

Common sense, how can heretical Protestants who knowingly reject the Truth of His One True Church be saved? How can Lutherism, created 500 yrs ago ever be considered to be His Church? Make no sense!

What nonsense! Of course Eliakim was a type of Peter! How can you believe & rely on Luther?

The ELCA is not Lutheran, I don't care what they claim. Words should mean what the were intended.

Also just curious what your congregation's current practice is?

I would argue that an excellent tool for preparation unto a child's first communion and for the pastor to examine children is "Christian Question with Their Answers."

Much of sin starts ordinarily. Lock the door, shut off the stove, turn off the water, set the alarm - good! But, as time passes and sleep escapes as one checks out of fear numerous times what is known or argued many times as the lawyer of the mind is want to do that the door is locked, the stove off, the bill is paid, your behaviour and breath were not so bad, they did not think you strange, nothing bad happened, the blemish is not skin cancer, and so on and on and on and on and on until good things, safe things and being good drives you to despair, madness and hell, when the simple truth is . . . “whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”

You have John Wesley to thank in part for the “lay minister” moement. He instituted this practice when Methodism became popular, and it spread into general evangelicalism from there.

All sin is evil, but not all evil is sin. God legitimately visits evil on his property for His purposes and in certain circumstances (as in the death penalty) legitimately allows men to do the same.

The devil is a spiritual being who is not spiritual, not a theologian or Spirit-filled prophet and no doubt scratches his head over much of Scripture as angels have been at a disadvantage to men in knowing the meaning as the following shows. “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”

Aliens and their flying machines are bad news for modern man. It is demonic doctrines dressed in technological/sci-fi thought, perhaps in the future, even as solid objects. Aliens always have messages like, “Those up there either want to probe, destroy, or save us." "Angels are astronauts." Or, "space aliens seeded the earth with life and one day we will evolve and reach out to our parents in the stars," etcetera, etcetera. And no doubt Jesus is returning by spaceship. “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.”

Was John a member of the church of Rome? If so, he did not take the opportunity to say so. "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."

The Didache is a bogus 2nd century Catholic false book, like Barnabas, 7 additional books of Ignatius. The Didache was found in 1873, the copy is dated written about 1056 a.d. it is not earlier than 2nd centueu, not the first century, it has no writing in it that says oh it was written in 70 AD. It is filled with a later doctrinal ideaology Century writing , written by the Catholics to try to make it look like the trinitarian Triune baptism was in Vogue. IT WASNT. ALL BAPTISMS OF THE CHURCH , were in Jesus name, you do t know how to reconcile My 28:19 with Acts and 4 witness passages ( you do t have the doctrine of witnesses supporting your position. There is no Triune Godhead, that is a false developed and formulated over 300 yrs. Heist or Apostles or Disciples did not believe it or teach it. All the N.T Biblical church were Oneness Pentecostals!

My LCMS church does not consider anyone a minister except the called and ordained pastor.

The clicking sound in your videos is distracting

There are billions of persons and only one Man (Adam). The word manyinity is not in the Bible.

Why is it everyone a minister instead of everyone a servant?

I'm LCMS and attend some non LCMS bible studies near my home during the work week. I'm interested in how Calvinists and Arminians approach exegesis. I think it makes me a better apologist. One of the studies, however, is at a church which takes a very low view of the pastoral office. I find they take sola scriptura to an absurd level. It is more like Sapare Aude. The leader tries to pull people back to a more accepted understanding of scripture. In any case, it points to a problem that arises with a low version of the pastoral office. If everyone has a ministry like Coffee Pastor then no one is a pastor.

Hey Pastor i have some questions

Excellent way to present this doctrine! Blessings to you and yours!

Thank you, Pastor, for your message. It was severely needed in my guidance of my life and bring a new understanding to the King and His garments. What this all means to us as Christians and the world.

You misspelled predestination in your title slide.

No ! Lutherans are not Catholics. Give us a break.

Don't you know the devil is already defeated, by the work of the cross? Just remove that catholic collar, its preventing life and blood from getting to your brain.

Great question. I’ve also heard these arguments before. Especially that any corruption at the time of the reformation was just a hiccup and not a symptom of infection through the papacy.

It's a spiritual battle why people believe the masorectic text is correct over the LXX Greek Septuagint. You have to be blinded by sin to not see something as simple as 2+2=4 and instead get 2+2= 837. Next observation. Do you think the jews deliberately changing scripture to hide the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus, to keep fellow jews from the book of life, added to the almost 1900 years of exile from Israel? Also did you know that Jesus put a prophecy that proves He's Messiah and God in the changed masorectic text. Its not in the LXX Greek Septuagint. And it disproves Shem as Melchizedek. Happy hunting.

Revelation 22:14--15 kjv *Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city* . 15 *For without* are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. *Unworthy to enter so locked out kind of thing, so your left to the mercy if the universe basically good luck outer space is outer darkness*

There is a theory based on the Book of Enoch saying that demons and fallen angels are separate entities. The fallen angels have been imprisoned by God already, but the demons, who are the souls of the deceased offspring of fallen angels (after they mated with female humans) are still able to roam the earth.

The answer is found in Genesis Chapter 3. Come on people crack your Bibles!
