<2021-09-19T23:40:47.000Z> DueceJigaboo: This may or may not be a good platform to ask on but I have a question to ask on behalf of my wife.  She has managed to befriend a, lets say, troubled individual in our neighborhood by just listening to her and praying with her when she opened up to her about some personal problems out of the blue while my wife was gardening.  This person isn't dangerous, but trouble seems to follow her and she always has some personal tragedy to tell my wife about.  At first my wife felt happy to be able to reaffirm someone's faith by praying with them and then later hearing that their prayers were largely answered by this persons estimation.  She lately has asked me not in these words "how do you shake someone who needs prayers but you don't have the time/ patience to be their personal confessor"  she legitimately does not have the time is the thing. We have 5 kids whom she homeschools, she is pregnant with our sixth, and God bless her, she is busy every day all day with domestic duties.  She genuinely was happy to be able to evangelize to and talk about God with this lady at first.  To put it bluntly she wants an out but also doesn't want to be turning her back on a fellow Christian who genuinely needs prayers.  Advice is greatly appreciated if you find the time.  You can talk about this on the show if you like but thats not my goal.  Thanks and God bless.
<2021-09-20T00:22:10.000Z> SuperLutheran: Well, the question to keep in mind is the nature of Christian love for one's neighbor. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says we encourage one another AND build one another up.
<2021-09-20T00:23:01.000Z> SuperLutheran: If this woman is a low functioning person, doesn't have it all together in life or isn't able to emotionally deal with all of it, then the way to build her up is to help her learn to function.
<2021-09-20T00:24:38.000Z> SuperLutheran: This could be based on Biblical advice from your wife to her friend, but I would also delegate the responsibility. This woman ought to a) be in Church, b) be active in community for a wider base of support, and c) comfortable bringing a lot of her problems to a qualified pastor - whom the Church has *tasked* with helping this sort of person.
<2021-09-20T00:25:31.000Z> SuperLutheran: If she's super new to the faith, now is the time to get her plugged in with a congregation and various women's groups. 
<2021-09-20T01:23:49.000Z> DueceJigaboo: Thanks brother.  I appreciate the advice and will pass it on.  She has in the past encouraged her to get involved in a church near us because they will pick you up and bus you there if you can't drive or walk to the church but I don't think she has yet.  I suspect that she has some mental illness she is dealing with.  She is in her sixties and has a blue and purple mowhawk hairstyle and more fingers than teeth.  From what my wife has told me she was abused sexually as a child by her father and so were her daughters.  Her daughters dealing with addiction and her grand children growing up in unstable homes is a primary source of the need for prayers she has expressed to my wife.  She is always talking about God, and how it sucks that when you're trying to do good and be godly the devil only messes with you more.  I don't get the impression that she is very plugged in to the bible and the gospel however.  I'll encourage my wife to really push the need to get to church and to read the bible.   Again thanks for taking the time to answer my question with some thought, it was helpful.

<2023-01-07T19:50:11.000Z> DueceJigaboo: I was hoping I could get some input from you about how the Lutheran Church ,specifically the school of thought you are most qualified to teach about, and Eastern Orthodoxy feel about the Filioque question. How do their views differ, how are they similar.  We are currently members of a fundy Baptist congregation but have been feeling the need to have a more liturgical/tradition based Church  experience and are weighing the Lutheran and Orthodox churches.  Thanks for any clarity you can provide.

<2023-01-07T21:43:00.000Z> SuperLutheran: Hope that helps fam. We affirm the filioque because it's Biblical. EO rejects it because of internecine politics
