A joke by comedian Emo Philips. Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I yelled, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." "God loves you", I said. "Do you believe in God?" "Yes.", he said. I asked, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" "A Christian.", he said. "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" "Protestant." "Me, too!", I said. "What franchise?" "Baptist.", he said. "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" "Northern Baptist." "Me, too!”, I said. “Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" "Northern Conservative Baptist." "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.", he said. "Me, too!", I said. "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

What Mormons believe is VERY different from what most Christians believe. For example, most denominations of Christianity do not teach that Jesus and Satan are brothers, nor do they teach that humans can become gods someday and rule over their own planets, nor do they teach that the angel Gabriel delivered a revelation to Joseph Smith in 1838, nor do they teach that POC have dark skin because they were cowards during the "pre-existence."
Isn't the whole joke here is that the two denominations aren't very different but Woody and his wife treat them like they are? Why do people find that weird?
Buckaroo Banzai they are very different. the ELCA is effectively Episcopalian, a very very liberal church body anymore. The Anglican/Episcopal Church and all Lutheran Church bodies used to be very much so on the same page, except their respective views on Apostolic Succession. But now the ELCA and Episcopal Church aren't uniformly convinced Scripture is inerrant. They ordain women and practicing homosexuals, marry homosexuals, and give out Holy Communion to practically anyone. That is only to name a few false doctrines they confess. The LCMS however has stayed much closer to the the One True Faith as taught by Jesus and His Apostles.
@@nathanielstuck2422 meanwhile I'm over here, a lapsed Catholic giggling my tits off. What's more, my mother converted from the ELA to Catholicism because she was fed up with how intolerant the Lutherans had become and to share a religion with my father, her mother refused to go to her wedding, and so her FATHER conspired with the family doctor to drug her mom up good and dopey so she would be a good girl at the wedding. THATS why its so funny. Some of us have lived this stuff. (Not that the Roman church is so much better; check father Ted.)

For my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary he got up and told us he would reveal the secret of a long and happy marriage. "I don't get involved in my wife's affairs," he explained. He paused for effect and continued, "and I don't get involved in my affairs either." LOL. Hilarious guy.
That's because the ELCA as a whole has very loose Eucharistic theology and because they are in full communion with three different reformed denominations + the Episcopal and Methodist churches they have often just said that Christ is present in the elements in order to appease the other groups' Calvinistic view of the sacrament as opposed to their own Lutheran theology of sacramental union: the physical body and blood in union with the bread and the wine. I'm fortunate enough to attend a very "high church" liturgical ELCA parish where we celebrate the Eucharist weekly, bow before the altar and tabernacle, and observe the sacrament with a real reverence, the reverence that it deserves. Also, because the ELCA is in full communion with (for example) the Reformed Church in America it means that an RCA pastor could preside over communion in my church (I doubt this would ever actually happen to be honest) and I most certainly would pass on communion that Sunday. It's disappointing because something I described did happen in America before...there was a "Lutheran" pastor called Samuel Schmucker and he was trained at Princeton, a reformed seminary. He in fact tried to change to Augsburg Confession to have a Calvinistic view of the sacraments in order to become more acceptable in the scope of American Protestantism. Luckily in the 1860s many churches broke away from Schmucker's group in reaction to his theology and they founded a different association of Lutheran churches. Then in 1918 these groups unfortunately came back together and through many mergers over the 20th century we now have the ELCA. I've often considered leaving the ELCA over the Eucharistic theology entirely (also the absurd movement to use gender neutral pronouns when referring to God which the ELCA has embraced by Tweeting a prayer that began with "Mother God..." or their pastors at conventions referring to God as "our heavenly parent" but I digress) however I feel that remaining faithful to my church which yes is part of the ELCA but holds to the Lutheran confessions is the best option for me. I'm very very progressive myself but I think some things just need to be kept out of the room when I'm in church, heck, my church doesn't even an American flag flying in the sanctuary and Amen to that. I'm sorry I was so long-winded but I hope that this made some sense.
This is so unrealistic. When ELCA and Missouri Synod Lutherans encounter, they figure out who's who in 15 minutes. No way they could get married and not know.
@@williamfroh8830 The Book of Concord was never considered to be = to the Bible. The thought is frankly absurd. Is it inerrant, I believe that to be true, and I think the LCMS would back me up there. Is it infallible, no because it is capable of error? The difference is key. As it is a document written by humans, not divinely inspired in the same way as the Scriptures, it cannot be infallible, it must be capable of error, as humans without the strict intervention of God are capable of Error, and so anything written solely by them must not be infallible. Is the Book of Concord doctrinally sound in all aspects, of course. A distinction such as the one you are making is not only impertinent to make but actually unhelpful as well. Sure there are a bunch of small Lutheran church bodies over America, I'm just not quite convinced that's a meaningful statement. You are just stating the facts. An example of why you distinguishing the different church bodies means little is an example of the AELC and the LCMS. Both churches are in full communion with each other, yet maintain their distinct identities. They are in agreement doctrinally but are different church bodies.
@@pipsdontlie3031 your right about the Bible and the book of concord not being equal. My teacher once told me inexact language is the causes of many heres.The book of concord is correct because it agrees with scripture. I still know that The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is way too liberal in their theology and practice. The reason the Lutheran Church is so divided is precisely what you stated men make errors. When your trying to get all the dots on i's and crosses on t's to line up there is bound to be disagreement.
@@williamfroh8830 I disagree that the LCMS is way too liberal. I also don't think the Lutheran Church is actually all that heavily divided, and I think the evidence of that is in how much we fight about small doctrinal differences. I think if we were actually greatly divided, you would see a lot more significant differences between each other. Now I am conveniently excluding the ELCA in this equation, mostly because as I think I hinted at above, I don't really see the ELCA as a real Lutheran church just as much as I don't see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as a Church that actually worships Christ. You can have all sorts of names in your title, it doesn't make you actually that thing.
@@pipsdontlie3031 well i agree with you about both the ELCA and Mormons. Living in Utah i have had hundreds possibly thousands of conversations with Mormons about theological topics. I was at one time LCMS about 18 years ago. I went to the Rocky Mountain conference and i was horrified at the disunity. I started looking for a new church right after that. There are some good pastors and people in the LCMS. But the open communion and the attacks on the liturgical worship found in many places is to liberal for me. I don't meet many Lutherans out side my congregation and i appreciate you for taking time to respond.please fell free to continue
What I want most to know about, is the part in the Book of Concord about the heavenly barbed wire and barking dogs. That sounds most interesting. Could someone expound on that please.
He is ofcourse wrong in his sedituous side, he being wealthy, and not giving the time of day to help others, but by mere wordjumbles. Correcting someone for being wrong doesn't equate to 120 dollars an hour. But it's just my take on the subject.
Woody's reaction is pretty much the same as that of my great-aunt Lillian. She sincerely believed that if u weren't Missouri Synod u might as well go to hell - literally!
Lol and Today you can't even find Lutheran single woman on a Christian dating app. Them sisters in Christ all go to those modern churches like Hillsong or megachurches....seems like I'm born too late 🤣🤣🤣 ah well
There was a joke like that on The Simpsons, once, when Bart and Homer start investigating catholicism because they're thinking of putting Bart in catholic school and the two of them are kidnapped by Ned Flanders and Rev.

This is all trivial. The important thing is which way the toilet paper roll is hanging. Over the top is the way ordained by the universe. Under the bottom is of the devil.
ah, but under the bottom foils cats. and sometimes if you have a roll holder that's perpendicular to the toilet, it'll be facing one way to a person sitting and another to a person standing and facing the opposite way.
@@KairuHakubi Yes, but clearly this adds to the evidence that cats are of the devil, does it not? Because dogs don't lead you into temptation to hang the toilet paper the wrong way. Because they'll generally be too busy drinking the toilet water to mess with the toilet paper anyway, unless you got the bacon flavored kind. I'm assuming that there must be a bacon flavored toilet paper by now...somewhere, lol. And I suspect that if someone is so easily confounded in the restroom by which way the toilet paper is hanging, they're probably doing #1 or #2 perpendicularly to the toilet anyway, in which case they have bigger problems.
@@KairuHakubi Remember...dogs have masters, cats have staff. Dogs won't deliberately destroy anything if they know it's truly important to you, although you're not perfect, because they love you. Cats will destroy anything, without regard to whether it is important to you, in part BECAUSE you love them, and because you are not perfect. And even if you ARE perfect, just because it's there. Because to cats, you are the staff. To dogs, you are a Diety.
@@KairuHakubiYes. They're much smarter than they like for us to think. "Ultimate Dog Tease" (hilarious short video) ua-cam.com/video/nGeKSiCQkPw/v-deo.html

I never liked Kirstie Alley as Rebecca as much as Shelly Long as Diane. The show was never as good without that sexual and otherwise tension between Sam and Diane. Shelley Long probably regretted not staying because she never really saw a great career in movies.
the problem is that Sam always was subdued by dians and never could stand her when she became all highnosed... the trouble with the other lady was that they could tackle more serious issues besides Sam's obsession with the body.
Hmm. A testy comments section. I converted to my wife's variant of Christianity. So I laughed along with the punchline. Love God and Love thy neighbour. That much of my theology remains exactly the same before and after my switch. "All the Law and all the Prophets hang on these two Commandments". (Matthew 22:36-40, variation in Mark 12:28-34, variation in10: Luke 25-28, similar in John 13:34-35).
in 1939 my parents were married. Because my mother was the daughter of an American Lutheran Church (ALC) pastor and my father was an ordained Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), they could not be married in a church and had a home wedding instead. My mother always resented that discrimination.The LCMS is just as narrow in its thinking today as it was in 1939.
If one religion can exclude based on their beliefs then so can Christians sects. No one questions Jews or Islamics demands on others. Not to mention how off the rails INSANE the Vatican/Pope is - that by the way is as far from Christian as any OTHER non-Christian church.

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!"
@ilove2run89 - I agree... I'm Anglican (Australian equiv of Episcopalian), and I could never understand why all these churches need to be identified by letters instead of proper words...
That's probably because they've divided enough that they have to have a string of modifiers to explain precisely who they are (just like many government agencies!) so they resort to abbreviations.
Part of it might be that if a church's structure isn't strong enough, its members will start dividing over their disagreements. Even the Anglicans have started dividing. Only time will tell if they're going to have so many schisms that they need to start using letters.
ELA HERESY!!!! Nah, I kid. You're right, it's ok. BUT... Moral Orel is the modern version of D&G and it might as well be the ELCA today. A dumpster fire.
Christian. God knows what He's doing, not us mere human beings. I don't care whether or not you think that I am wrong. What matters is that I am a cherished child of a mighty God.
How true this is. When I was a Lutheran (ELCA, actually), I was "dumped" by a lady who was a Missouri Synod Lutheran because "I was not good enough for her." We were getting along great until that came into the picture. I guess it was my fault for thinking that religion should not have made a difference, but apparently it did.
This makes me laugh as a Lutheran in the ELCA. While I wouldn't take a memorialist position of communion, I do agree that the Bible is more authoritative rather than as authoritative as the book of concord. This is so funny though.
Revelations 3:16: "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." This applies to the egg cracking question too, probably.
Because the ELCA puts man in judgement of the scriptures. I still remember going to an ELCA church once. The lector was reading from the epistles and gospel (no OT reading that day), and told the congregation to "Listen for the word of the Lord." Once a church's anchor to scripture is cut loose, there is no telling where she will land and any storm will sink the ship. A lack of grounding in scripture and church discipline is why ELCA seminaries deny one or all of the basic tenets of Christianity, (biblical inerrancy, biblical infallibility, substitution atonement, depravity of man, the Resurrection and much more). When you have ELCA seminary profs saying that Jesus was nothing more than a righteous man who said good stuff, was crucified, his body was taken off the cross and left to be food for dogs and vultures; you know you have a church that does not preach the Euangelion. I don't mean to say that ELCA pastors are atheists in vestments, there are many God-fearing men and women among them but sadly, that is not always the case. I would like to call the ELCA my brothers and sisters in Christ, I would like to cherish the Eucharist at their alter... but I can't, they won't let me. I don't want it to be true, but unfortunately it is: The ELCA: Churches with a cross that does not save, containing a Bible that's not inerrant, preaching a Jesus that's not divine.
I grew up Lutheran-LCA-and there was also the Wisconsin Synod. The LCA us called the ELCA I think. Ask Connor Trineer Was Trip Tucker in "Enterprise" (he grew up in the Lutheran Church). I left the Lutheran Church because it was getting too liberal and my parents couldn't join the WS because they didn't like Masons or Eastern Star members which my parents were. I now belong to another denomination in the Christian religion, Anglican Catholic.
This is a most telling episode. I remember when it was first broadcasted. Back then, it was more amusing, because the rift between ELCA and the LCMS and more traditional orthodox, confessional Lutheran bodies had not come full bore, as it is today. On the one hand, this episode is just about marriage, and who really wears the pants in the family/household, in modern America/western society, despite what denomination or religion for the matter is represented. This is an illustration of why so many men do not wish to get married, and opt for living together for as long as the girlfriend will tolerate it, as a means to see her naked at the most earliest and frequent opportunity. Kelly identifies being with the LCA, even though it is officially ELCA in '92. "Syn - ODD," is also Kelly's description of the LCMS, in Woody's words. To all ELCA (LCA+ALC+AELC), the LCMS, WELS, and other orthodox/confessional Lutheran bodies are -- "odd." That was in '92, just 4 years after the creation of ELCA. Fast forward 20+ years, and what do we have now? www.exposingtheelca.com/ And to be clear what the LCMS is all about. 170 years later, the prophecy and prediction of those "enthusiasts" are coming true: www.lutherquest.org/walther/articles/nameLuth.htm The is why most more conservative and traditional common sense men would rather opt for a Ukrainian, Russian Orthodox wife, rather than any American/western female. The probabilities of the Ukrainian following her husband in his direction and descretions are greater than that of the western woman. And we wonder why that which is happening in the Ukraine at present: www.veteranstoday.com/2014/09/24/russia-calling-for-intl-probes-of-kiev-atrocities-in-e-ukraine/ The Devil is most active where he thinks and feels he is most threatened. America, for the moment, is not his primary target. He thinks/feels safe in that decision for now ..
fooser77 Where does one find Ukrainian, Russian Orthodox women like you describe, besides the Ukraine? Don't the Russian Orthodox have the same problens with Confessional Lutherans; e.g , we're heretics?
I’ve never seen this episode, and it’s hilarious! Of course I’m Reformed, and Lutherans made fun of the Calvinists with a cartoon of Jesus chained to the throne in heaven.
Today's ELCA embraces any theological belief about Christ's Presence in the Sacrament of the Altar--really present, spiritually present, just symbols of His presence or just a memorial meal.
Growing up Missouri Synod Lutheran the biggest mystery we had to deal with was the "bloody Catholics" as Monty Python put it. Being a Lutheran was so MUCH less complicated & without the constant guilt trips/instant priest forgiveness confession thing they had. It just made NO sense to us.
At least you're not one of those heathens who believes in cracking an egg on the side. "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." - Revelations 3:16
Thanks for posting this provocative video. I believe in the Bible, and read it daily, which is a key. Most people do not read it, but read diatribes about it. The natural disinclination to read it is one of my evidences that it is true, since our Adversary does not want us to read it, so his agents struggle mightily to prevent us from reading it. Notice, if you will, how distractions pop us when you try to read the Bible. It happens. Answer: Read the Bible, especially about Y'shua (Jesus).
People need to chill out. Not everyone is going to agree with you. I'm an atheist yet don't feel the need to try to convert people to my way of thinking. Perhaps the people writing these comments need to do the same.
There are plenty of atheists who not only feel the need to TRY to convert people to their way of thinking but to FORCE people to convert to their way of thinking. You can find them in Havana, Beijing, Pyongyang, etc.. TRYING to convert people to their way of thinking, by persuasion, is what those do who actually do believe something. FORCING conversion is when it becomes evil, and no one has done that more than atheists in the last 300 years--though Muslims are taking a run at that now.
Funny thing, though. The Soviet government thought it had almost extinguished Christianity, that no one was a Christian any more but a handful of old ladies who'd been born under the Tsar. In 1991, the Soviet Union fell, and it turned out that there were over 100 million Christians in Russia. Forced conversions won't last any longer than the force that was used to obtain them.
32,000 different Christian denominations, and every one of them "The One True Church," ... as typified by every other street corner in Austin, Texas, USA.
No. There is one Church, made up of those who believes in Christ and shall not perish but have eternal life whatever denomination they belong to. There are relatively minor doctrinal differences and some cultural differences but whoever believes in Christ is my brother.
@More Fiction Hey! You guessed! You bet I'm not! (Thank goodness). Hint: Never mind about the denominations! Did you know there were about 30 radical Jewish gurus with left-wing Buddhist philosophies all preaching in Ist-Century Palestine? So, given they were so thick on the ground back then, how do you even know you got the "right" Messiah?
Give up on the whole synod/denomination garbage. It prevents us from keeping the main thing the main thing. Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave. That alone should be above all barriers. The centralized politics of how churches are set up now is saddening.

1:26-1:33 Symbolic memorials? Kelly's view of the sacraments sounds far closer to Ulrich Zwingli's than to Martin Luther's.
A lot of ELCA views are not close to Martin Luther's views.
That's because Lutherans are Christians and LCMS are heretical worshipers of Martin Luther.
That's because the ELCA as a whole has very loose Eucharistic theology and because they are in full communion with three different reformed denominations + the Episcopal and Methodist churches they have often just said that Christ is present in the elements in order to appease the other groups' Calvinistic view of the sacrament as opposed to their own Lutheran theology of sacramental union: the physical body and blood in union with the bread and the wine. I'm fortunate enough to attend a very "high church" liturgical ELCA parish where we celebrate the Eucharist weekly, bow before the altar and tabernacle, and observe the sacrament with a real reverence, the reverence that it deserves. Also, because the ELCA is in full communion with (for example) the Reformed Church in America it means that an RCA pastor could preside over communion in my church (I doubt this would ever actually happen to be honest) and I most certainly would pass on communion that Sunday. It's disappointing because something I described did happen in America before...there was a "Lutheran" pastor called Samuel Schmucker and he was trained at Princeton, a reformed seminary. He in fact tried to change to Augsburg Confession to have a Calvinistic view of the sacraments in order to become more acceptable in the scope of American Protestantism. Luckily in the 1860s many churches broke away from Schmucker's group in reaction to his theology and they founded a different association of Lutheran churches. Then in 1918 these groups unfortunately came back together and through many mergers over the 20th century we now have the ELCA. I've often considered leaving the ELCA over the Eucharistic theology entirely (also the absurd movement to use gender neutral pronouns when referring to God which the ELCA has embraced by Tweeting a prayer that began with "Mother God..." or their pastors at conventions referring to God as "our heavenly parent" but I digress) however I feel that remaining faithful to my church which yes is part of the ELCA but holds to the Lutheran confessions is the best option for me. I'm very very progressive myself but I think some things just need to be kept out of the room when I'm in church, heck, my church doesn't even an American flag flying in the sanctuary and Amen to that. I'm sorry I was so long-winded but I hope that this made some sense.
I'm an ELCA Lutheran and our congregation considers the Sacraments as means of grace
Is the term: you whip those you love, and you Love those you hate, ever been more applicable?
This is so unrealistic. When ELCA and Missouri Synod Lutherans encounter, they figure out who's who in 15 minutes. No way they could get married and not know.
The two are supposed to be pretty dense so that is why they didn't plan. If you watched the show you would know that 😊
I mean, if anyone is honest, ELCA and LCMS are as different as night and day.
@@williamfroh8830 The Book of Concord was never considered to be = to the Bible. The thought is frankly absurd. Is it inerrant, I believe that to be true, and I think the LCMS would back me up there. Is it infallible, no because it is capable of error? The difference is key. As it is a document written by humans, not divinely inspired in the same way as the Scriptures, it cannot be infallible, it must be capable of error, as humans without the strict intervention of God are capable of Error, and so anything written solely by them must not be infallible. Is the Book of Concord doctrinally sound in all aspects, of course. A distinction such as the one you are making is not only impertinent to make but actually unhelpful as well. Sure there are a bunch of small Lutheran church bodies over America, I'm just not quite convinced that's a meaningful statement. You are just stating the facts. An example of why you distinguishing the different church bodies means little is an example of the AELC and the LCMS. Both churches are in full communion with each other, yet maintain their distinct identities. They are in agreement doctrinally but are different church bodies.
@@pipsdontlie3031 your right about the Bible and the book of concord not being equal. My teacher once told me inexact language is the causes of many heres.The book of concord is correct because it agrees with scripture. I still know that The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is way too liberal in their theology and practice. The reason the Lutheran Church is so divided is precisely what you stated men make errors. When your trying to get all the dots on i's and crosses on t's to line up there is bound to be disagreement.
@@williamfroh8830 I disagree that the LCMS is way too liberal. I also don't think the Lutheran Church is actually all that heavily divided, and I think the evidence of that is in how much we fight about small doctrinal differences. I think if we were actually greatly divided, you would see a lot more significant differences between each other.
Now I am conveniently excluding the ELCA in this equation, mostly because as I think I hinted at above, I don't really see the ELCA as a real Lutheran church just as much as I don't see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as a Church that actually worships Christ. You can have all sorts of names in your title, it doesn't make you actually that thing.
@@pipsdontlie3031 well i agree with you about both the ELCA and Mormons. Living in Utah i have had hundreds possibly thousands of conversations with Mormons about theological topics.
I was at one time LCMS about 18 years ago. I went to the Rocky Mountain conference and i was horrified at the disunity. I started looking for a new church right after that. There are some good pastors and people in the LCMS. But the open communion and the attacks on the liturgical worship found in many places is to liberal for me.
I don't meet many Lutherans out side my congregation and i appreciate you for taking time to respond.please fell free to continue
What I want most to know about, is the part in the Book of Concord about the heavenly barbed wire and barking dogs.
That sounds most interesting. Could someone expound on that please.
I love Frasier's comment about the Christmas tree
He is ofcourse wrong in his sedituous side, he being wealthy, and not giving the time of day to help others, but by mere wordjumbles. Correcting someone for being wrong doesn't equate to 120 dollars an hour. But it's just my take on the subject.
Woody's reaction is pretty much the same as that of my great-aunt Lillian. She sincerely believed that if u weren't Missouri Synod u might as well go to hell - literally!

The important thing is which way the toilet paper roll is hanging.
Over the top is the way ordained by the universe. Under the bottom is of the devil.
ah, but under the bottom foils cats. and sometimes if you have a roll holder that's perpendicular to the toilet, it'll be facing one way to a person sitting and another to a person standing and facing the opposite way.
@@KairuHakubi Yes, but clearly this adds to the evidence that cats are of the devil, does it not?
Because dogs don't lead you into temptation to hang the toilet paper the wrong way. Because they'll generally be too busy drinking the toilet water to mess with the toilet paper anyway, unless you got the bacon flavored kind. I'm assuming that there must be a bacon flavored toilet paper by now...somewhere, lol.
And I suspect that if someone is so easily confounded in the restroom by which way the toilet paper is hanging, they're probably doing #1 or #2 perpendicularly to the toilet anyway, in which case they have bigger problems.
@@KairuHakubi Remember...dogs have masters, cats have staff.
Dogs won't deliberately destroy anything if they know it's truly important to you, although you're not perfect, because they love you.
Cats will destroy anything, without regard to whether it is important to you, in part BECAUSE you love them, and because you are not perfect. And even if you ARE perfect, just because it's there. Because to cats, you are the staff. To dogs, you are a Diety.
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER it's true. dogs also have impulse control problems and seem to feel guilt afterward.

I never liked Kirstie Alley as Rebecca as much as Shelly Long as Diane. The show was never as good without that sexual and otherwise tension between Sam and Diane. Shelley Long probably regretted not staying because she never really saw a great career in movies.
the problem is that Sam always was subdued by dians and never could stand her when she became all highnosed... the trouble with the other lady was that they could tackle more serious issues besides Sam's obsession with the body.
it's synod with the stress on the first syllable.
Hmm. A testy comments section. I converted to my wife's variant of Christianity. So I laughed along with the punchline. Love God and Love thy neighbour. That much of my theology remains exactly the same before and after my switch. "All the Law and all the Prophets hang on these two Commandments".
(Matthew 22:36-40, variation in Mark 12:28-34, variation in10: Luke 25-28, similar in John 13:34-35).
And only Jesus the Christ kept both tables of the Law perfectly in our stead.

@@MPeaches1958 I think *Frasier did just fine.
This was one of the funniest episodes of the whole series.
in 1939 my parents were married. Because my mother was the daughter of an American Lutheran Church (ALC) pastor and my father was an ordained Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), they could not be married in a church and had a home wedding instead. My mother always resented that discrimination.The LCMS is just as narrow in its thinking today as it was in 1939.
Oh my God, I thought they were making all that up! Sweet Jesus, the insanity.
If one religion can exclude based on their beliefs then so can Christians sects. No one questions Jews or Islamics demands on others. Not to mention how off the rails INSANE the Vatican/Pope is - that by the way is as far from Christian as any OTHER non-Christian church.

He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!"
Funny, but to be honest, LCMS and ELCA are basically different religions all together. ELCA are literally heretics

@ilove2run89 - I agree... I'm Anglican (Australian equiv of Episcopalian), and I could never understand why all these churches need to be identified by letters instead of proper words...
That's probably because they've divided enough that they have to have a string of modifiers to explain precisely who they are (just like many government agencies!) so they resort to abbreviations.
Part of it might be that if a church's structure isn't strong enough, its members will start dividing over their disagreements. Even the Anglicans have started dividing. Only time will tell if they're going to have so many schisms that they need to start using letters.
Y'all need to all be watchin' more Davey and Goliath.

You're right, it's ok. BUT...
Moral Orel is the modern version of D&G and it might as well be the ELCA today. A dumpster fire.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire...?
All denominations are wrong cept for mine.

Woody says that Kelly is LCA, (not the same as ELCA) which I don't think existed when this episode came out.
Mary Schulstad one time they said LCA the other time they said ELCA.
Mr. Missouri Synod....lol.
Christian. God knows what He's doing, not us mere human beings. I don't care whether or not you think that I am wrong. What matters is that I am a cherished child of a mighty God.
If you believed that, then you would believe he wouldn't let His Word be tampered with.
But you don't believe that in fullness or truth.
How true this is. When I was a Lutheran (ELCA, actually), I was "dumped" by a lady who was a Missouri Synod Lutheran because "I was not good enough for her." We were getting along great until that came into the picture. I guess it was my fault for thinking that religion should not have made a difference, but apparently it did.
If one's religion has true meaning to an individual, it should make a difference.

So is Scarjo and Natalie Portman. They can purty too. Duh.
This makes me laugh as a Lutheran in the ELCA. While I wouldn't take a memorialist position of communion, I do agree that the Bible is more authoritative rather than as authoritative as the book of concord. This is so funny though.
Not yet read all the comments, but expect some reference to Lilith. Surely the character's name was intentional and familiar from Old Testament lore.
Okay, but I crack an egg on the side, can I be saved?
Revelations 3:16: "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
This applies to the egg cracking question too, probably.
@@alanlight7740 What about soft boiled eggs, which are cooked hot but kind of lukewarm when you serve them??
@@matthewwelch4305 - now you understand why I have always disliked soft boiled eggs, and will spew them from my mouth if accidentally consumed.
You can be right or you can be happy.
It's too bad Kelly gets her ELCA theology wrong...
+Rebekah Sims most elca get their theology wrong - that is why they are elca
How so? (Former ELCA pastor here.)
Because the ELCA puts man in judgement of the scriptures. I still remember going to an ELCA church once. The lector was reading from the epistles and gospel (no OT reading that day), and told the congregation to "Listen for the word of the Lord." Once a church's anchor to scripture is cut loose, there is no telling where she will land and any storm will sink the ship.
A lack of grounding in scripture and church discipline is why ELCA seminaries deny one or all of the basic tenets of Christianity, (biblical inerrancy, biblical infallibility, substitution atonement, depravity of man, the Resurrection and much more). When you have ELCA seminary profs saying that Jesus was nothing more than a righteous man who said good stuff, was crucified, his body was taken off the cross and left to be food for dogs and vultures; you know you have a church that does not preach the Euangelion.
I don't mean to say that ELCA pastors are atheists in vestments, there are many God-fearing men and women among them but sadly, that is not always the case. I would like to call the ELCA my brothers and sisters in Christ, I would like to cherish the Eucharist at their alter...
but I can't, they won't let me.
I don't want it to be true, but unfortunately it is:
The ELCA:
Churches with a cross that does not save, containing a Bible that's not inerrant, preaching a Jesus that's not divine.
Yes, I know. I missed the remark about the Sacraments. But then, how seriously does the ELCA take the Sacraments OR the Word?
"at their altar" Some people know how to take the laughter out of a great bit.
In the long run of marriage, Yes dear is really not such a sacrifice.
I grew up Lutheran-LCA-and there was also the Wisconsin Synod. The LCA us called the ELCA I think. Ask Connor Trineer Was Trip Tucker in "Enterprise" (he grew up in the Lutheran Church). I left the Lutheran Church because it was getting too liberal and my parents couldn't join the WS because they didn't like Masons or Eastern Star members which my parents were. I now belong to another denomination in the Christian religion, Anglican Catholic.
This is a most telling episode. I remember when it was first broadcasted. Back then, it was more amusing, because the rift between ELCA and the LCMS and more traditional orthodox, confessional Lutheran bodies had not come full bore, as it is today.
On the one hand, this episode is just about marriage, and who really wears the pants in the family/household, in modern America/western society, despite what denomination or religion for the matter is represented. This is an illustration of why so many men do not wish to get married, and opt for living together for as long as the girlfriend will tolerate it, as a means to see her naked at the most earliest and frequent opportunity.
Kelly identifies being with the LCA, even though it is officially ELCA in '92. "Syn - ODD," is also Kelly's description of the LCMS, in Woody's words. To all ELCA (LCA+ALC+AELC), the LCMS, WELS, and other orthodox/confessional Lutheran bodies are -- "odd." That was in '92, just 4 years after the creation of ELCA. Fast forward 20+ years, and what do we have now?
www.exposingtheelca.com/
And to be clear what the LCMS is all about. 170 years later, the prophecy and prediction of those "enthusiasts" are coming true:
www.lutherquest.org/walther/articles/nameLuth.htm
The is why most more conservative and traditional common sense men would rather opt for a Ukrainian, Russian Orthodox wife, rather than any American/western female. The probabilities of the Ukrainian following her husband in his direction and descretions are greater than that of the western woman. And we wonder why that which is happening in the Ukraine at present:

Today's ELCA embraces any theological belief about Christ's Presence in the Sacrament of the Altar--really present, spiritually present, just symbols of His presence or just a memorial meal.
Growing up Missouri Synod Lutheran the biggest mystery we had to deal with was the "bloody Catholics" as Monty Python put it. Being a Lutheran was so MUCH less complicated & without the constant guilt trips/instant priest forgiveness confession thing they had. It just made NO sense to us.

Thanks for posting this provocative video. I believe in the Bible, and read it daily, which is a key. Most people do not read it, but read diatribes about it. The natural disinclination to read it is one of my evidences that it is true, since our Adversary does not want us to read it, so his agents struggle mightily to prevent us from reading it. Notice, if you will, how distractions pop us when you try to read the Bible. It happens. Answer: Read the Bible, especially about Y'shua (Jesus).

People need to chill out. Not everyone is going to agree with you. I'm an atheist yet don't feel the need to try to convert people to my way of thinking. Perhaps the people writing these comments need to do the same.
There are plenty of atheists who not only feel the need to TRY to convert people to their way of thinking but to FORCE people to convert to their way of thinking. You can find them in Havana, Beijing, Pyongyang, etc.. TRYING to convert people to their way of thinking, by persuasion, is what those do who actually do believe something. FORCING conversion is when it becomes evil, and no one has done that more than atheists in the last 300 years--though Muslims are taking a run at that now.
Funny thing, though. The Soviet government thought it had almost extinguished Christianity, that no one was a Christian any more but a handful of old ladies who'd been born under the Tsar. In 1991, the Soviet Union fell, and it turned out that there were over 100 million Christians in Russia. Forced conversions won't last any longer than the force that was used to obtain them.
