AW sheeezech, dammit! Why can’t the Lutherans learn from the Episcopalian disaster and take a clue?

How do these people claim to be followers of the WORD?
Making a acting sinner a person of the clergy without that person repenting that sin is so moronic that it surpasses understanding

Sure. Why not? Why not just come out and say:

“Lutheran church surrenders, admits there are no immutable truths”

- or -

“Lutheran church admits it was wrong, sin is a matter of opinion to be determined individually”

- or -

“Abortion to be decided locally - no right or wrong.”

- or -

“Pre-marital sex a personal matter, Lutherans okay with it if it suits you.”

The devil takes another one.

What is funny is that these denominations are doing this in order to get more people in the door, which in fact it goes to only hurt them. There was a mass exodus of right-minded Episcopalians when they pulled this crap, and now some Lutherans will be doing the same.

Stick to the Word of God, not the words of men.

Church politics has always been local.

Apparently, now the definition of sin is also local.

(If everyone is doing it, it can’t be a sin, after all...)

And that is why I left the Lutheran church years ago. How can a religion call itself Christian when they don’t follow the Word of God?

Sure sounds like they are taking a moral stand.

Last time I attended a Lutheran Church, the Pastor was railing against Dubya from the dais. I’m no fan of his, but it was obvious that the Pastor was spouting communist dogma. Made me sick. Looks like the major European denominations have been infiltrated.

The Lutherans and Episcopalians are two of the more ethnically-based denominations of Northern/White Christians. The strategy by the Left/Evil community here might well be to divide the white nominal Christian community from the practicing Christian community.
