I have NO intention of stepping into satans house.

The local Baptist Church?

No Lutheran. Point is I would not step in satans house.

To check with the experts at Prairie Home Companion would these be "Dark Lutherans" or "Light Lutherans"?

Dark Lutherans believe in things like occasional old testament seriousness appropriately away from the holidays and canning. Light Lutherans believe in things like Ice Cream Socials and sticking to the lighter sections of the new testament.

You already have stepped into satan's house but are too dumb to realize it.

Revelation 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

The word “synagogue” is based on the Greek word sunagoge (assembly or church). The “synagogue of Satan” is an assembly or church comprised of people who “say they are Jews, and are not.” In this context, the usage of the term “Jews” is in a spiritual connotation. As the apostle Paul stated, in Romans 2:29, “…he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter…”

I make it a point to ignore the Biblical "scholarship" of non-believers.

I've visited community centers that was used to hold a type of Islamic service.

I was invited by a two childhood friends of mine that onverted to Islam. I also went repeatedly with them for several months.

No big deal in it, and the muslims knew I was basically an atheist. Kind of strange that a previous poster complained about being refused because he was an infidel. I did not think you can become any infidelic than non-belief in a physical god.

Maybe he stumbled upon a terrorist den?

Anyone is welcomed to visit a Mosque here in America.

Yes, you should dress somewhat conservatively.

Basically the same as if you entering a Church or Synagouge.

No, a visiting woman does not have to cover her hair.

But if you did bring a scarf to wear it would be seen as a sign of respect.

Can I walk in with shorts, flip flops and a wife-beater?

I guess you could but it would be very disrespectful.

I would never dress like that if I was going to visit a Catholic Church.

I've dressed like that During a Catholic New Years service.

I don't think Catholics are too restrictive in dress--just a big "Come as you are" invitation was given from the Nuns.


Kind of makes you wonder what would they do with strippers and prostitutes?

Funny but complete bull. The Lutherans I go to Church with along with myself believe in the whole Bible. When you pick and choose what parts of the Bible you believe in you miss out on the true meaning. For example, homosexuals that believe they are Christians do not believe in the whole Bible, if they did they would know that homosexuality is a sin and detestable to God. Read Leviticus and Romans.

If you wear mixed fabrics, eat pork or shellfish then you don't believe in the "whole bible" either.

That was a joke, son. I keep pitching em, and you keep missin' 'em.

It was a comedy skit.

BTW, I'm a recovering Lutheran and find such statements very true to some synods and churches. You look at the Wisconsin Synod and they're very much typified by the "Dark Lutheran" joke. On the other hand, the ELCA Lutheran Churches are all light and fluffy by comparison and therefore "Light Lutherans".

I am neither. My Church belongs to the AFLC, Association of Free Lutheran Churches. The Association doesn't dictate to us how we conduct our service or how we worship. We hold the Bible as the true word of God.

Maybe you can explain how you pick and choose.

I don't have to explain anything, I don't pick and choose. As far as eating certain things or wearing certain things, Jesus changed everything. He said what was once bad in the old testament to eat was now clean. When you understand you will see the truth.

I am taking Mini EZ to one today. She has to visit a place of religion different from her own for her Religious Studies Class.

We were going to go to the Buddhist Temple in Bloomington, but it's over an hour drive and we just don't have the time today. So she said she wanted to go to a Mosque. There is one a few miles from our house.

Just wondered if anyone else has gone to one to visit.

I wonder what gave her the desire to visit a religious temple of a people we are currently under attack from????

My post has had several nut-cases go Islamic and commit crimes. Several other posts have had the same problem.

I have Muslim brothers from Kuwait and they never invited me into their mosque.

I just think it's not a good idea to teach these kids that the religion of peace is peaceful...when they really aren't.

We have to keep this in proper perspective. Buddhists never tried to blow us or themselves up. Stick to Buddhism.

But, you cited Leviticus and Romans, didn't you?
