They have not invaded my church. If they had I'd confront them and they would not like the results. However, the church they belong to does not have a problem with their association. And the ELCA (which I left for this very reason) has invited the situation by their seeking openly gay membership both in laypeople and clergy (although the body at large hasn't accepted the proposals). It is therefore not my problem and I, simply as a Christian, would not get involved in their issue. Nor would I, simply as a Christian, get involved against homosexuality as a secular issue. That is 'of this world' as Paul so aptly puts it. I'm concerned with my church. My church is the LCMS; not the ELCA. It is an ELCA issue and the ELCA must deal with it. That or face God's wrath; NOT MINE!!!
It's obvious you're one of those argumentative types who cherry picks statements then jumps on the bones of the author for the purpose of inciting an argument, or, perhaps, to satisfy an overblown ego.
I suggest you look to your own Christian faith as opposed to questioning others. You yourself seem to be in need of some assistance in social management.
That's it. If you still don't agree with what I've said, fine. I frankly don't care. You are not someone I find pleasant nor insightful.
Goodbye.
