In reply to the discussion: Are Lutherans alienated/bashed here? [View all]LiberalFighter
(50,832 posts)15. I use to be WELS Lutheran -- no more
My understanding it is to the right.
There really isn't much education on the matter. I had 5th thru 8th grade with them. Confirmation classes. There really isn't much discussion in classes or real explanation of history or anything. As kids of that age not prone to challenging elders.
Did some Bible Study but found that to be superficial.
Since being in an environment where I am not pressured to believe I have been better able to understand the issues and see the conflicts of the beliefs and Bible. The way I see it is that it is not all bad but it is also not all good. What people need to do is take themselves to the very beginning of time for people to better understand why people began to believe what they did.
