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?

Still, if the ELCA takes a hard line position, all same sex desires are sinful, you might have a point.
What’s bolder than a man kissing his boyfriend in front of the alter?
A church teaching that the kiss is a natural normal expression & it is sinful to think there's anything wrong with it. Praying for the conversion of your "fundy" brothers & sisters, so they too "see the light".
