It was a Lutheran church / State church.I'm glad your Church is willing to stand against Caesar. It must be a very uplifting place.
Do you put gold or silver in the collection plate , which God said is His? Or do you put what's Caesar's in the collection plate ( federal reserve notes )?
It's much easier to give God lip service than it is to walk with Him.
I've got a Life , why don't You get one.........
So which is it? Those are quotes from your post.
