All I can tell ya is read every passage in scripture about baptism. And believe what is written. It's really that simple.

Yeah, I know. How about stating historic information from the historical record according to the writings of the ancient martyrs. Well there ya have it.

You know nothing of the history of the Church. Try reading what was written by the martyrs through out church history.

Could be that you are your own hindrance to your prayers. I know it sounds rough but truly consider yourself. See how you could be your own obstacle. I know you want companionship but are you a good companion? Do you have many good friends, interesting pass times, hobbies? As I have said...

Only you mentioned that. Keep to the topic at hand. I'm not interested in obfuscation, or distraction.

Lutherans do not see baptism or the Eucharist or any of the sacraments the same way the Romanists do. Harken back to the reformation and read what was written. Luther and Melanchthon wrote prolific volumes. I will not argue them with someone who dont even believe what os written scripture.

Martin Luther, in deed and most assuredly was baptized, And taught baptism, and baptized others.

Dont forget that the Lors chastises who he loves. And when we sin we receive that chastisement. So its possible that we may take many or few stripes in this life as the Lord corrects us and drives us to repentance when ever we sin. Not that it is what that particular passage of scripture is...

Yeah this flesh still hangs on us and oppresses us, but we are internally (spiritually) inclined toward God. Thus the war with in that Paul spoke of in Romans. Only the born again have this war within our members.

Psalms is a great subject. I think we all Love the Psalms. I get a melody in my heart simply talking about them. I have a dream project in my mind but I dont have the time or money or resources to do. I want to produce the entire Bible in song format. Probably starting with the Psalms. Set to...

At my church each Sunday we sing a psalm set to the tune of a hymn. A different psalm each week. I love it. There is also a guy I listen to who sings the psalms acapella more like a chant but I find it to be a beautiful thing. I need to reincorporate that into my morning worship again.

I think when you are believe and are baptized and you receive the Holy Spirit. That your old man is put to death and buried and you are born new through the water and through the Spirit resurrected a new man. This is born again.

I think God loves both. Your guitar playing to honor him and your singing to him. Keep practicing you singing that is how you get better.

I was only referring to the subject of certain psalms seemingly contradicting Jesus. Not the whole matter of Christianity. But scripture is not a closed book. When read and heard, the Holy Spirit inhabits those words and make them alive and effective.

If we are going to have Christian nationalism, it should be Lutheran. We can change the flag to the rose of Sharon and the National moto will be "the peace of the Lord be with you always" and the National anthem will be "mighty fortress" by Martin Luther. All public officials will wear a...

They are more than songs, they are also prayers set to music and sang to God.

Well its very simple. Jesus is the word; John chapter 1, the words of those Psalms are scripture for us; given to us, breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good...

They are the Psalmist asking God for justice. For the delivery of the wicked over to God for his judgement. Rather than taking things into his own hands.

They are not contrary to the teaching of Christ. Turning our enemies over to God for him to deal with is exactly according to Jesus. We dont take things into our hands but deliver them over to God. Jesus said for us to pray "deliver us from evil".

Even the imprecatory Psalms are useful models of prayer. We have an enemy of our soul and we have enemies of the faith and we. Have oppressors and we have our own flesh as an oppressor.
