I googled and Yahoo-ed LCMS to death.....and all I could find was that it always has taught its basic doctrine that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Whew, I'm so relieved.

BRILLIANT, and thanks for posting this! I remember seeing this here a few years ago but neglected to save it.

Hmm, wonder what we'd have to do to make this an actual Youtube?

Not my LCMS. There is one way to heaven and that is to trust that Jesus Christ died to save you from your sins. It is a gift.

No time for an overture to the 2010 SC.

Sure there is. The deadline for overtures is in early March, I think.

I appreciate the poem up on top SO much. I got a big bang out of it, and my kudos to whoever wrote it.

That would be . . . me, Charles Henrickson, the wag tailoring the doggerel.

Any reaction yet from the ELC-Gays? I’m sure there will be a reaction to your parody and sure would like to hear what it is.

Not too much from ELCA folks. The "faithful remnant" recognize the truth in what I write. The proponents of apostasy, homosexuality, etc., probably would not come across this parody or comment on it.

What IS interesting is the reaction I get from my own fellow LCMS people! A lot of them "get it," but there are some folks who find my use (or any use) of satire to be offensive. Click the link at the top of this page and you will find comments at my blog.

Is it true that the Missouri Synod preaches that one can only get to heaven as a member of the Missouri Synod? Or did they have this belief at one time?

Nope. Never.

a tornado nipped one side of the building and damaged the steeple of a Lutheran church across the street. A short time later, the 1,014 voting members would pass a social statement relaxing church doctrine on homosexuality with a dramatic vote that was exactly a two-thirds majority. One vote against would have killed the measure.

How many of the voting members are also members of ACORN?

All my in-laws are LCMS... they never got the memo that it’s OK to have a sense of humor.
