"I believe the Gospel of Christ calls us to fully include everyone in the church. Homosexuality is not a sin," Thomas said."
Well, the Bible says homosexuality is a sin. But why believe the Bible - let's just all make up our own rules to live by. By the way, does anyone know if the Lutheran Church is growing in the US or going down hill? I go to a Baptist Church and we welcome everyone but no way we would ever ordain a homosexual minister.
An SBC church opened up here recently, I might give it a look see. My old country Lutheran church is as it always was, very conservative, but it's an hour drive out there and I tend to be a bit groggy on Sunday mornings from time to time. I've been attending a local Lutheran, but it's almost as bad as this Milwaukee synod looks to be.
Uhhhh....has someone discovered a Commandment that reads "If it feels good, thou shalt do it?" Or perhaps one that reads "Thou shalt bugger thy neighbor"? Just curious......
I think in general the truly conservative churches are GAINING members and the more liberal ones are losing. Can you imagine Martin Luther's reaction if he could see what his church was looking like nowadays?
They apparently saw the title "Living Bible" and got confused.
