Good way to go around the answer. But if you believe that it was off topic I will end that discussion.

It's not really going around any answer; it's simply pointing out that it has very little to do with the present thread topic, but more to do with another.

Yes, the whole discussion of Judaism, of which I was a part of, was officially off topic. There's no need to get snippy with Travis for asking, quite nicely and gently I might add, to keep posts on topic.

. The thread is ask a Lutheran? Am I correct? So Lutherans can not be challenge to what they believe. I am trying to gain understand of all religious beliefs but if it is just I ask a question and you supply the answer and I can not challenge that answer. I was not getting snippy. See you interpret my words as an attack. I am not here to attack. I am here to understand and ask why? So if this cannot be done I will leave this thread because it is a useless thread..
For me this is not about Judaism. It is about what you believe in and why?

For example:
Why do Lutheran believe in a demi-god?
Why does Lutherans believe in pagan worship?
If the Old Testament was given only to the Jews to follow then why do Christians (Lutherans) use it to validate their beliefs? (Wait the bible speaks about the Jews so I have to leave them out)

See I know that there are T and C on this forum just like everyone else. I just wish that people could answer a question when it is asked. Because how do I omit the Jewish’s people out of my question if every one in the bible was a Jew.

Who says it was ONLY given to the Jews to follow?

Regarding your last response. I actually DID answer your questions, specifically. See the previous page. Your apparent angle isn't about asking questions about Lutheranism specifically, but rather seem more geared towards Christians in general. You appear to be disingenuious. Additionally, you phrase your questions in an off-putting manner..."Why do Lutherans believe in a demi-god?" "Why do Lutherans believe in pagan worship?" Well, Lutherans believe in Jesus, as do all Christians, and they don't believe in pagan worship, as you well know. Although I sense you are about to school all of us on how we are pagan worshipers...

(Roll eyes).Sounds like some one that is open minded . I do not need to educate because one day it will be revealed to all of us. Have a good day. I do not recommend this forum.

Now you can all see why this thread was brought to you by beer (the official after-hours Lutheran Beverage since 1517).

Typical response of someone who can't back up their claims, or who has delusions of grandeur. If it will someday be revealed to all of us then why be so put off?

The problem with the wise is they are so filled with doubts while the dull are so certain.-- Bertrand Russell

The point of having an open mind, like having an open mouth, is to close it on something solid. --G.K. Chesterton
