Open for Bible debates. I serve as the ordained pastor of the Lutheran Church of Hope. This is a chance for me to write about some of the things I think about related to God, being a pastor, and life in general. This is my own opinions and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of all or any of the people I serve, the ELCA, or anyone else, but me.

Do you believe OT God is the same as NT God? Why? Hoe do you account for such a change of personality?

To provide context, I don't believe Yahweh (OT god) is the true Creator God (the Father of Jesus)
I also don't believe Jesus is the only Son of God but that's another topic

Why was Uzzah struck down for touching the ark of the covenant? Would not it have been more disrespectful to let it fall? Why did God need the ark as focus point of power and why did loss of the ark cause battle loses if God was still on their side?

Kindly provide some explanation, sources, etc. on the ELCA's doctrine of Scripture. My background is in the LCMS, but anymore I am not satisfied with them. I like the ELCA overall but cannot nail down the view they take on Scripture (if there is in fact a unified view across the church body). I'm not a literalist like the LCMS endorses, but the ELCA just seems so wishy-washy on the issue and sermons in ELCA congregations don't seem to be as textually-based. Thanks in advance.

Where did Milton abstract the backstory for Paradise Lost? Did he really just pull that whole narrative about War in Heaven though to Lucifer in the garden from a few slight passages in Genesis and Revelations?

Was this a standardized narrative at the point in time when he was writing. It seems standard now if only because of him.

>>9190023
Hello there. If OP were for real, s/he would tell you the Lutheran view is that God works through means and not direct revelation. See Rom 10:10 for example:
>14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?c And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

I agree, women should not be in clergy. There are many verses and chapters to back that up. I became a pastor kinda by accident, in my small inut community we needed a spiritual leader and no man stepped up, so I did.
