Thank you for these videos. I feel bad that you have to deal with these annoying Atheitsts/Conspiracy-guys though. Just ignore them, they acquired some biased half-knowledge of christianity and feel that they have to force their opinion down everybodys throat. They probably don't know the first thing about theology.

@DanielSahne Hi...thanks for your encouraging words!

I just wanted to send this observation about the word "inspired" in 2 Tim. 3:16. I believe it is a good word and does mean breathed, if we look it up, because to "aspirate" means to exhale breathe (& actually to stop breathing in death). Inspire literally means to draw air into the lungs; inhale, but it can also mean to stimulate mentally or emotionally. Since the Word of God is God breathed, "inspiration" is a perfectly good word to use!

And scripture does not interpret scripture, church tradition is what interprets scripture (which is how which books were decided to be put into the bible in the first place)

[bob21294]

All scripture is God breathed but that does not mean that something not in the bible is not God breathed. Sola scriptura/closed canon is completely contrary to church history and even the bible itself (see 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and John 21:25).

I've never been exposed to the lutheran belief system, but I have more questions! Everything that is said in this video is the same thing i was raised with in my evangelistic church! Seperation of the church is un-godly and formed from different peope's beliefs! There is only one God, regardless of what religion you are! But i have opened myself to other religions, buddhism, islam, catholocism! I have no bad opinions of other religions, and i use other religions to help me stand on what I belie

@nschaub The belief in "Sola Scriptura" is not a biblical belief. If it were we would not have all the chaos we have today of who is right and who is not. The Catholic Church has always maintained that Revealed Truth comes through The Revelation of God in the form of oral Tradition 2 Thess 2:15 and written Word, the bible. Just because there was misuse and sin in every age of the Church does not warrant schism from it. That is my thought. I welcome yours. RJ

This lecture is ridiculous. On one hand the pastor is saying that the Bible is God's word and on the other he is saying we can ignore it if it bans pork because that's not important. This is typical Christian hypocrisy. They dismiss half the Bible by saying while it is Gods word it is not important but they retain the bits that suit their prejudices such as the Biblical ban on homosexuality and women speaking in Church. Truly nauseating.
