It is a shame no doubt that basic teachings have to be enforced so directly; this should not even be an issue. But at least they remain basic teachings. How many Minnesota Lutheran denominations will actively be working for the sodomite side of the issue? That’s the difference.

I have never understood how the Church entertained so many noisy many influential source sympathizers of licentiousness, some priests who even slow dance with Marxism, and boldly pronounce socialistic themes. It is embarrassing and it’s a point of outright ridicule (rather deserved) from protestants. For all their divisions protestants are stalwarts for strict adherence to the scriptures. With the exception of a few publicized black churches, protestants will fight to the death against socialism and Marxism.
I am most grateful for something in voice and now in print to be laid out, loud and clear, that at minimum challenges the scandalizers. Frankly, there needs to be some public excommunications declared to restore credibility to the term, and to put a stop to the scandal of the same and repetitive dissent.
