What _is_ mainline for Lutheran then? Which isn’t necessarily the most theologically conservative (like LCMS or WELS which have a definitely fightin’ fundie bent).
Good sense about Israel seems to go along with good sense about the rest of the gospel. I don’t mean it literally about Baptists, and since there’s no actual standard of what it means to be Baptist (other than the Southern Baptist affiliation, which is pretty good) you can have absolute rubbish going on in a place named “Baptist” (the Phelpsians are Exhibit A... they seem so tickled to damn the same America that lets them carry on with their nuttiness — of course, America seems well on the way to damning itself but do you ever see the Phelpsians as trying to help... nope).
So was God taking a nap when Hadrian annihilated Israel? Or perhaps upset about a recent event?
Instead of trying to have a comeback on what I said, why not ponder if America has turned from God or would God be happy with us. IMHO, God isn't happy that we have murdered 50 million babies and have voted for legalized Sodomy. Trying to remove God from our country, can't even pray in school, no nativity scenes, and on and on. Do you think it's just bad luck that the Towers fell in New York and the economy collapsed? Do you think Obama is God's man? Do you think things are going to get better? Unless we turn back to God, America will be annihilated. We don't have a clue how bad it can get. Just keep being proud and stiff necked and we will see what it's like to fight God.
Just go back to Viet Nam. Why did we lose even though we never lost a battle? Just look at the hippies, free love, dope, ect and tell me we shouldn't pay. If you sin, God doesn't necessarily strike you down immediately. He can wait. You have plenty of time to turn from sin, but we don't. We are paying for our disobedience right now.
