Lutheran Ping!
Keep a Good Lent!
What passage from Luther’s works justifies homosexuality?
And they leave out the Apostolic Lutherans, who are a whole ‘nuther kettle of lutefisk completely...
YOPIOS again?
Fans — and non-fans — of Luther would be interested in which words we’re talking about. Seems silly not to mention which ones.
How about “If you are going to sin, sin boldly.”
What’s bolder than a man kissing his boyfriend in front of the alter?
Keep a Good Lent!
I saw this in the Argus a few days back. I’m an ex-ELCA member and now belong to a church affiliated with the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. Our congregation of Lutherans most assuredly aren’t welcoming gay pastors to speak anytime soon. Thankfully.
The ELCA associated churches are not even true Christian churches IMHO. Check out their pro-abortion policy at ELCA.org
I was raised in a conservative Lutheran church. As an adult, I innocently joined the local “Lutheran” church here when we moved here 15 years ago. It wasn’t too long before the ELCA meeting reports in the bulletin tipped me off that there was something wrong. The ELCA was “dialoging about gay unions”.
So I checked out the ELCA.org website and was even more appalled at the pro-abortion stance. I discussed it with the “pastor” who said not to worry, such a small amount of offerings goes to the ELCA. I said even one red cent to pro-abortionists is a grave sin. He said OH we can’t judge....etc.
I was good and gone within days of seeing the clue in the bulletin. Thing is, nothing was preached from the pulpit about these immoral things the ELCA does. All the old folks I used to sit with, probably have no idea they are supporting abortion. Sad. They are in a false church.
My neighbors are Laestadian Lutherans, great people. In our Western community most folks would look at their large conservative family and peg them as either Mormoms or homeschooled evangelicals. When I lived in Scottsdale, we sent our kids to a Lutheran school (Missouri Synod) which was terrific and had a great staff and congregation. I feel for the good half of Lutheranism that will tagged by the ELCA heresy.
