Heh... who did not see this coming.
Maybe they figure that decimating the ranks of the church - destroying it - is just as good as perverting it from within. so it’s a win-win for them.
People are asking, "Are you a sodomy or non-sodomy Lutheran?"
I fixed it for them.
So when the majority of Lutheran churches stop sending $$’s the synod will be stuck with their new rules and a few queer preachers?
Sodom Land.
Good for them. Cut off the money to the sodomy church. This is all they understand.
Amen brother. Cut off the cash is the name of the game.
Unfortunately we have to fight back against these devious creeps. It could be worse - they use to feed us to the lions. ;-)
As I recall, didn’t one church sucessfully sue to retain their assets against the confiscation of the parent church? That would be a good sign for the flocks.
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
well....that lasted about 2 minutes..suddenly, when they settled, the parishes were not separate entities but part of the whole so the parishes got assessed huge amounts to pay for what the diocese elite settled for...
my point is.......I hope the Lutheran churches are individual entities and not just considered an asset of the larger group.....the national people like to proclaim individuality except when it comes to money and then all of a sudden they all belong to the national church....
As always with liberals, tolerance is a one-way street.
I'm guessing that the triangle in the circle represents the Trinity, but I wondered if this type of symbol is common in Lutheran churches, or is something new.
Wow. It’s hard to believe that some of these people want to join the Catholic Church.
NOW comes the open coercion! All that foofarar about “bound consciences” was just that—foofarar!!!!
The ELCA mis-leaders are just as bad as their false god obama, who is “the one” they really follow, not Christ.
Well, back in 2008 God Himself took me out of the grasp of the ELCA mis-leaders and all their tommyrot and delusions. He will take many others away from them over the next year or two. Thanks be to God!!!!
Und you vill celebrate faggotry or you vill be SHOT !
The symbol you are describing sounds like a conflation of the “cross of victory” (Cross above a globe) with a symbol of the Trinity.
If I recall correctly this is something sold through the ELCA church supply & publishing house Augsburg-Fortress.
Traditionally the globe had bands of equal length, like a pair of lines of latitude plus a band of equal length running vertically. The three points of the bands were to represent the Trinity; but I suppose someone felt the symbol could be improved by replacing the bands with the triangle.
To: SmithL ELCA leaders emphasize it's up to individual congregations whether they want gay or lesbian pastors.
For now.
