Some of your assumptions are flawed.
Cheers.
So are some of yours. That is why we refer to some concepts as opinions rather than facts. That is why one man's opinions do not trump the other man's opinions. I am neither less intelligent, poorly read, or insane just because my opinions differ from your own. You pretty much stated that all three were the case. Now, isn't that an attempt to force my opinion into concert with your own?
You do know that you and I are in a classic "Denomination Clash", don't you? The Lutheran Church is not an Apocalyptic Church.
