Will somebody help me understand what is an evangelical Lutheran? How can anyone who is guided by scripture subscribe to being a Lutheran, evangelical or otherwise?

It was Christ who served as a propitiation for our sins.. not Martin Luther..! My understanding is that Mr. Luther did not wish to have a religion named after him. Moreover, how on God's earth can any self-respecting Christian, er, Lutheran believe that this religion facilitates his/ her salvation.

This is likely a more important question that postulation about feminist theologies..!

Question Mr. Jackson.. when has organized religion not endorsed hate crimes as a matter of policy?

Let me phase it a different way. When one subscribes to a denominaton otherwise known as religion, and all its rules and regulations, is that not a form of a hate crime..?

How can it be that one chooses to deviate from what is clearly written or omitted in the word, ie: woman preachers, worship with musical instruments, man-made religiosity etc., is one not showing a form of disdain perhaps even hate for God's Word..?

I can not see how it can be any other way... but you can, if you subscribe to the theory of personal interpretation which is to say that you prefer to shape God's Word like play-doh to fit what's acceptable in your view or align your relationship with the Lord based on the practices, experiences or goodness of others.
