Season 2 Episode 11 (November 2023)

1. What is the easiest manner to locate past episodes of your Q&A discussions? I have found it tough to search through our FB site. Are they on the CLC page under video, or in another location that is easy to locate?

2. Closed communion is to accept the sacraments in unity together as believers of the same, however there are likely members partaking in communion who do not believe they are receiving the blood and body of Christ-or church members who do not understand this. How does that differ if someone is from another Lutheran Synod or another believer, and partakes in the sacrament at CLC?

I know what I believe, and how the sacrament is a gift of righteousness from God…Why/how does it matter that another at the rail may not believe the same?

Is it ok for me to receive communion at another Lutheran synod (non LCMS) church?

3. Can you discuss all the names for God and the 3 persons of God; Lord, Jesus, Christ, Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, Yeshua, Christ Jesus, Father, Savior, Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost and likely more I can’t think of.

Some of the context is obvious, but when and how have these names been used and when are we to use which names in current times?

4. I have heard CLC members say they will not support or do not like certain community or civic groups (even calling them pagan). 

I am referring to groups who provide generous and giving services to our community such as feeding, clothing and other basic needs. Would you talk about this a little more? What is the approach for working together in a community that holds different beliefs?
