In your post 21 you stated: “I was raised Lutheran.”
So, you abandoned the church of the Reformation for “my perspective”, “my understanding,” and “I see it ...”? May I say, with no intent to belittle or offend, that you abandoned what you never really did understand or, perhaps better, what was never fully and adequately taught you.
I am still a Lutheran. I am an elder for my Pastor who is Lutheran.
