I was appalled by the politically correct Lutheran minister who could not mention Jesus or quote the bible! But I took comfort in hearing the Lord’s Prayer recited by the entire coliseum - the large majority of whom obviously knew the prayer by heart. The Lutheran also said “let’s observe a moment of silence” rather than saying a prayer or asking the attendees to pray silently. Wouldn’t want to offend anyone, although the muslim cleric and buddist rep. didn’t seem to mind.
Prior to Pres. Bush speaking, Virginia’s governor (Kaine) quoted Christ on the cross -”why have you forsaken me?” and referred to Job as a shared part of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. He noted that Job kept his faith through his questioning of God’s plan.
“I was appalled by the politically correct Lutheran minister who could not mention Jesus or quote the bible...”
Not as appalled as Martin Luther would be. This lack of confession of the name of Jesus disqualifies this minister as a Christian. Jesus said: “He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent Him.” John 5:23.
