Neither are the present day churches biblical, the birds of the field don’t sow or reap for food why does man?

Now christ words are hollow Shells even in churches..I am not against churches, I am against man thinking he knows, therefore his sin remains, look at the world..its on fire..

[...] I’ve made an observation that most women over 60 are bitter old bitties biddies.

biddy (n.)

"old woman," 1785; meaning "Irish female domestic servant" (1861) is American English; both from Biddy, pet form of common Irish fem. proper name Bridget.

LCMS generally has its head on straight.

Thanks for the spelling correction. I’m usually pretty good with that kind of thing but sometimes I miss one. :)

I honestly expected quite a backlash from my comment.

The author needs to find an LCMS church. Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

It’s what many of the prophets did! It’s what Paul told us to do!

You are right except I would add, liberal women over 60 are insufferable caustic bitties.

“Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.”

Sorry, what you describe with those words is exactly what got the ELCA into the mess that it is today.

The (truly) Lutheran response to that is: “For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For the Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (1 Corinthians 1:21-24)

The ELCA is not a Christian church. Leave it and find a real Christian church.

No argument from me. I think many commonly call them karen’s these days.

It is easy to tell the friendly older ladies from the Karens.

Light up a cigar.

The good ones will come and talk to you.

The Karens will run away in fear of dying from one poisonous puff.

Should I have said, thrown into the like of fire instead of damned? Damned to me is to be thrown into the lake of fire.

The ELCA’s present behavior is probably due by far more to draft dodgers who swarmed the seminaries during Vietnam, than any of Herr Luther’s flaws.

I gave up on going to church when I would never hear sermons denouncing illegal immigration or abortion. I didn't need to hear some Father Flap Doodle with his guitar singing about how we're all gods people, you me and all the LGBT.
