- John, if you have a question, join the "Ask the Pastor" group and review the entries/responses. If thy question isn't answered post the question and several Pastors will be glad to respond. That's one of the purposes of WT. :-)

Hi! I see you are a fairly new member of the WT. Welcome! I'd like to invite you to join the Lutheran Confessions Study Group, too. We have several past discussions from the Augsburg Confession that can be reopened if there are any questions, and now we're finishing the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope. Next, within a few weeks, we'll be starting the "Small Catechism". I'm going in order of my "Reader's Edition", so that is why we're doing the order we are. Please join us, and when we start the Small Catechism I'm hoping we can invite even more people to learn what we believe, teach, and confess.

- John,
I'm glad you'll join us. Believe me, I have a very questioning mind, too! I have made many pastors pull out their hair trying to answer all my questions. That is why the WT is such a great place. It's great for asking questions. I'm also on several lists. Once I see the Truth of the Scripture though, I can't budge from the Truth of God's Word. I'll take His Word over the world's view of things any day. I think you'll learn a lot in the Study Group, and don't be afraid to ask questions, okay? I don't think you will.
Blessings on your day!
