I hear that Wisconsin Synod is even more conservative than LCMS. Do any of you know if this is true?

" That strategy and vision for change rested on the assumption, implicit or stated outright, that women are morally superior to men. We had a lot of debates over whether it was biology or conditioning that made women superior- or maybe the experience of being a woman in a sexist culture. But the assumption of superiority was beyond debate. " .......


There was a group of people who believe that they were the " MASTER RACE " and was " Superior " than the rest, and equated the Jews as beasts and dogs, and that group was called the ( NAZIS ).
Is it any wonder that the feminist have be labeled ( Feminazis ) and want to build the 4 th Reich ?? .
If the feminist can abort a unborn child, it's not to far of a stretch of your imagination that if they can equate men as " DOGS " and " BEASTS " just like the Nazis did with the Jews, then, you can imagine what a unbridled Feminism can do.

If you read this speech, it's not to hard to come to a conclusion , that since it was a woman commander at Abu Gharaib prison in Iraq , and it was a C.B.S producer who some how got hold of those picture, could it have been a inside job by the feminist ? to make the USA military look bad with egg on their faces ?

One reason we Catholics are so happy with Pope Benedict XVI. He knows what it's all about.

Yes.... the Bible has a lot to say about knowing the schemes and tricks of the devil, and should be on guard.

Interesting that the Presbyterian Church USA is called liberal. I attend the local one, mostly because my daughter goes there. It seems anything but liberal to me. The sermon the Sunday before the recent election included a long section on why homosexual marraige was a bad idea. With statistics from Sweden.

Here is what is on their web site about what the core beliefs are. Based on what I've seen there they are pretty serious about all this.

We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings. The Scriptures are the complete revelation of God's will for the salvation of humankind and the divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.

We believe in one God, the creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God the Father created all things through His Son, Jesus Christ, and calls all humankind through the Holy Spirit to receive His Son in faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where He now sits at the right hand of God the Father, serving as our High Priest and advocate.

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, convict humankind of sin, regenerate believing sinners, and indwell, guide, instruct, empower, and seal believers for godly living and service until Christ's return.

We believe that humankind was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can humankind find salvation and spiritual life.

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his bodily resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only those who receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, thus become children of God.

We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and placed into the body of Christ, of which He is the head. Only those who are members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership at Sunset.

We believe in the personal, visible, and impending return of Jesus Christ to the earth. The blessed hope of Christ's soon coming challenges the believer to personal devotion and tireless service to God.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead: the believer to everlasting joy and blessing with God; the unbeliever to everlasting judgment and sorrow apart from God.

The Democrats are going to spend the next few decades in a complete free fall unless they adopt policies that support America instead of our enemies.

Ain't that the truth!

I think the Democrats are forgetting that Americans have always been on average a very religious people. After all, many of the early American colonists fled Europe to come to the colonies because they got tired of the religious prosecution by local authorities in Europe. Is it small wonder why highly-secular Europe just can't figure out the USA much of the time?

I know the feeling. I visited a LCMS congregation last Sunday. I'll probably go back.

If you really want to get back to basics head for an ELS or WELS Synod church.

Attend a few presbytery meetings, and see how scornful many of the "leadership" are for such sentiments as you describe.

And this will be to their own peril and determent.

So many churches claim to believe in the bible, but they
seem not to mind lying. How may of them even believe in the ten commandments? Not many I think, so many still believe in the traditions of men brought in during the dark ages? So many.

Churches or synagogues, or any religious house for that matter, that support homosexuality, abortion and other evils are most not definitely not places of worship of God.
