You're not in a very good position to be making fun of other people's spelling and grammar. ;)

COLA, what is a Lutherain?

The only thing I can find on the internet is people referring to Lutherans and not spelling it correctly.

SR, you could just edit the poll and correct the spelling. You can do that with Super Mod Powers.

Oh, and StrongCanada is Lutheran too. Let's definitely not forget her. (and who would want to anyway?)

FIX'D!!!

I wasn't aware she was Lutheran.. I thought she was more non-denominational than anything. Regardless, she has a better HRWFW page than Stu (remind him of that). :-P

A Lutherain is a race of Dwarfs who live in North-East Russia. They mainly practice Yeti worship, but occasionally get bored and worship a large, brown, panda-bear that happens to cross through the area every once-in-a-while and dies. They worship its corpse for a few days, then make a nice Silk tent out of it, even though silk doesn't exist on the bodies of pandas. They invented the Bowie Knife, and Dracula, and subsequently worship him in the form of a cat.

Steve I have a question for you: Do you believe God and Jesus are one and the same or do you hold that Jesus is God's son?
I believe that Jesus is in fact God's son just so you know.

Some people actually believe that God and Jesus are in fact the same thing.

Well they are. Jesus is the son of God, but he is also the personification of God on Earth.

I don't believe that he is the personification of God. God is God and Jesus is Jesus. Jesus is God's son who died for us all and God is the creator and was here before all else. That's my reasoning.

Warning: religious wonkishness

Saying Jesus is "the personification of God" might be oversimplifying... but... Trinitarian Christianity (that is, most Christian churches) define God as one God with three "persons", the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is the incarnation of the Son. So he is "the son", and the Son of God, but is also God.

If this doesn't make any sense, that's because it's also generally understood that it's not supposed to make sense, and that if it does make sense to you, your understanding is incorrect. It's not supposed to be possible to really understand the nature of God while trapped in space-time.

So even though the humanity of Jesus did not exist before the birth of Jesus, the Son of God incarnate as Jesus has always existed and is that same God that created the universe and was here before all else. For support for this, see the first chapter of the Gospel of John.

I looked at it and I can see how you interpreted it that way, but I truly believe that:
John 3:16- For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 1:14 wrote:
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

I believe that, while God the Father and God the Son (as well as God the Holy Spirit) don't mean the same thing, they are all one God.

Well see, that's correct too. I'm definitely not saying John 3:16 is incorrect. And of course you're free to hold your own opinion of the nature of God and Jesus that differs from the mainstream theologians. Just letting you know what those opinions are, tho: that Jesus is considered by most theologians over time to be
  1. Both 100% human and 100% God
  2. The "second" "person" of the Trinity that is the One God and therefore God AND God's Son and therefore existing for all time
  3. That these seemingly contradictory things are true because God exists independent of our reality, so we will never be able to comprehend how all these things could be at the same time

But, you know, freedom of belief & all :)

I've always liked to have a little understanding of somethings, so I guess it's my nature to think that and it's also what our church seems to be teaching (that God and Jesus are two separate entities and all).

I can answer the question for myself, according to what I've been taught: God, Jesus, and the holy spirit are three entities in one. Based on biblical referance alone, I find this to be true. But to understand this concept fully, more research is needed.

Because the Church of England was basically created so that King Henry the Whatever could have political and religious power equal to the Pope.

There is no King Henry in America.

That's not what matters, in my eyes.

Yes, King Henry VIII was a total jerky. But the Episcopal church is a very open, accepting, caring church. The fact that we're tied to Henry, or that we're not based in England, has nothing to do with it.

So what you're saying is that the past of a church doesn't matter, nor does the reason it came into being.

Good to know. Thank you.

No offense, Lahi but the LDS came to be under some unusual circumstances, too. A man claims to see God, writes it down, gets some people to believe him and then takes them across the country to a large salt lake.

Actually, Joseph Smith didn't make it to the large salt lake. He was assassinated in Illinois.

And I know that our history has some weird stuff in it. I never said it didn't.
