Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd

"I have never been to this church. But I am just posting this for Mr. Matthew Shepherd to read. Sir if you are reading this I just have to say you are the most hateful person in the world for alot of the thing you post. Everyone is entitled to believe in whatever religion or theory that is out there. For you to call and question a church about their belief system and be mean to the poor lady on the phone is just ridiculous. And if you are that bored to where you are calling random churches and challenging there belief system just tells me one thing and that is you truly, truly have no life so do us all a favor and get one and quit harassing innocent people. And if anyone reads this this is just directed and him no one else if you was to read what he posted no one should have to be harrased about there belief system like he did with the lady that worked at this church."

"As a new member I was warmly welcomed and invited to share in the life of the church right away. Excellent music, really thoughtful sermons."

"I am grateful for the many blessings this congregation provides to me, my family, our community and extending out to the world. All are welcome to participate in communion and all of our activities."

"Wow! What a wonderful worship service. And inspirational message from the youth minister yesterday. Overall a very welcoming place. The worship service was truly meaningful, the blessing of the backpacks was special to the school age children and the teachers. That coffee our social was well attended and always good to meet new people. Nice to be part of a group that truly cares."

"Um, wow...I called this morning to ask a question...spoke to Susan who identified herself as being the one that would answer any question.... I proceeded to ask why does the Lutheran Church profess that Baptism is a requirement for salvation...I presented the question 'What about the thief on the Cross, did he have to get down and get baptized before Jesus spoke these world..."Today you will be with me in paradise".... Susan stated.."I am not the one to speak to (after she already said she was) and the Pastor is really busy...I suggest you call somewhere else....and HUNG UP on me. Folks, this is the empty theology that is being taught in our pulpits today, and when you challenge them they kick you out, ignore you or hang up on you.... Please do your research, examine the things that you are being taught from the pulpit... For ones of the Lutheran Faith.... I would challenge you to think about what you are being taught.... Baptism is a ritual, a work.... when we say we have to add to the finished work of Christ ...aren't we saying essentially "Christ you weren't enough, I have to do one more thing"... People...THAT IS HERESY..."
