Honestly, I didn't think of that. Good point.

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

The bit about how "in God's eyes, there is no Jew or Gentile" I'm sure you know which verse I'm talking about...

Galatians 3:28, which you could have found yourself by scraping over it, and clicking "Search Google for...", a process that took me almost 4 seconds. Why are you so lazy?

Whatever, let's actually take a closer look at that Scripture that says "there's no difference in God's eyes" shall we?

Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. "

I bolded the bit that contradicts your assertion about the meaning of that passage. It quite clearly applies only to those who are believers in Jesus; and if one believes in Jesus as Saviour, presto change-o, one is no longer a Jew but a Christian, anyways.

If you have any doubt as to this being the correct reading, just look two verses previously and you'll find:

Galatians 3:26 "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."

Which reinforces the point that that Scripture is talking about Christians only.

...And the Jews being God's people originally, before it was turned to all Christians.

God didn't turn from the Jews, they turned from Him by not accepting Jesus.

Um, that is a reference to all Christians being equal in God's eyes, not all people.

Jews all go to Hell, where God burns them alive for all time, unless they become Christians.

Care to try again?

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

We believe that Luther was a brilliant theologian and had a correct stance on several theological issues; at the same time, we reject his work when it is not based on/contradictory to The Bible.

If Luther was a man of God, how could he contradict the Bible?

What part of his treatise on Jews is contradictory to the Bible?

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

Then why are you "Lutherans"? Hmmm?

Because you are followers of Luther, of course!

And on another issue: Faith_Machine, debates with you guys help me come closer to God. Do you really think I would go into this thread alone?

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

The church was founded by Luther, and has taken on a more biblical form.

In other words, we worship and follow God, not Luther.

Then why are you "Lutherans"? Hmmm?

Because you are followers of Luther, of course!

Tell me, if Josef Stalin or Pol Pot or Adolf Hitler started a church, would you join it and proudly declare yourself a "Stalinite" or a "Pothead" or a "Hitlerian"?

All this is getting away from the central point of this thread, which was to request modification of my profile that says I am a "chinese anal sex fan," which you have. I appreciate this, but you changed it to "suspected jap" (which I couldn't care less about; the Japanese have made some of the greatest advancements in recent technology.) and put my location as "On my knees for some cow," which offends me even MORE than a hairy stranger, as this implies I am fond of bestiality, which I am not. It is a horrific sin.

Sorry, I don't have the ability to edit profiles.

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

Friend, as long as you stay focused on these incredibly superficial things, your mind is not going to be on God. Who cares if some embarrassing facts about you happen to be displayed on your profile? It's just us here, Christians who are non-judgmental and only want to see you grow in the Lord.

Try praying more and worrying less!

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

But that was a major theme of his work. Why be a Lutheran if you don't agree with his vehemently-expressed belief that Jews should be expelled or exterminated?

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

Just because I'm Lutheran doesn't mean I agree with everything Martin Luther said ever. For instance, I disagree with the antisemitic teachings you just showed me.

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

I'm not going to try anal sex, because frankly, it just sounds painful for the woman involved.

I've seen a couple of videos and those sluts seemed to enjoy being penetrated from behind. Besides, if anal sex was that painful you would think that you would have heard if by now from a hundred million faggots in San Francisco or London or wherever. They can't wait to get a zucchini rammed up the bum so it must not hurt that much.

This is all just an assumption. I've never had anal sex unless you count a prostate exam and I made sure that nurse was female.

Why call yourself a Lutheran if you don't follow Luther's teachings? Are you just showing up for the free lutefisk they serve at church functions?

I'm sorry; poor choice of words. I'm not going to try anal sex, because frankly, it just sounds painful for the woman involved.

So that's the only reason you're not going to try it? And I take it "the woman involved" might be any old floozy, as opposed to your lawfully wedded wife?


Forgive me for saying so, friend, but I'm getting the impression that with you, the only criteria for deciding what to do is whether it feels good.

Re: Hi everyone, I'd like to set a few things straight.

The Lutheran church is actually quite different than the Catholic church. In fact, it was formed as a rebellion against the Catholic church. I suggest you read up on Lutheranism, it's quite an interesting story.

We have.

So you make up your own rules instead?

Why not follow God's rules as they are in His Holy Bible?

Yet?! At least your intentions are clear.
