  • A great answer and thanks Keith for making it available on YouTube.

  • I really appreciate Mark's answer. We relate to God by how we relate to our neighbor -- Love the lord your God ... this is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself." If you read Martin Luther, he clearly sees that our relationship with God is utterly connected with how we relate to our neighbor. They cannot be seperated.

  • This guy is so... american. Sound like a catholic. Religion are something personal, Something you keep close to your heart, safe. What he should have said is: What you need to do is go into yourself and find out what you yourself believe. That is the core in Lutheranism. What YOU believe, not what someone wants you to believe. They can help and teach but what you believe is yours. No person believe the same. .That's why God Jesus and the Holy spirit are the only holy things in Lutheranism!

  • Nice

  • @shmunski101 No argument here; but there will probably be enough ex-catholics and ex-baptists to shore up some of the numbers. But in general, you are right; it's shrinking away faster than the polar ice caps.

  • @NixonisLord dude go to google and type in "Protestantism is dying." in the google search bar. THE STATISTICS DONT LIE!!!!!! PROTESTANTS ARE F*CKING DYING OUT FASTER THAN POLIO UNDER JONAS SALK!!!!!!

  • Good to know.

  • There is no god. The mainline protestant churches are shrinking away faster than a pizza in front of Michael Moore. By this man's own admission, the ELCA will be gone by 2050 given the membership trends of the past 30 years. Their parent churches in Scandinavia and Germany and the Baltic have shrunk away to barely 5% of their host populations and now hang on due to tax subsidies, funerals and some vague interest at Christmas in small towns. Mainline Protestantism is going the same way here
