I see more Catholics in the future.
I see more Baptists and Presbyterians in the future.
These people still bother pretending to be Christians only for the sake of bringing slow death to the Church.
It’s not the Lutheran Church anymore. It’s the Church of Sodom.
In response, the Archbishop of Sweden, Anders Wejryd, told reporters: "For my part, the right decision was taken, but I can empathise with the many who believe this has gone too fast."
Too fast? You want to go to hell and take everyone with you more slowly? He's making the fatal mistake that is in a sense the foundation of secular humanism/moral relativism - the society "evolves" - truth evolves, morals evolve, humanity evolves, understanding evolves. Gets better and better with time. But, because some of us are barbarian throwbacks, they can't push the future on us too fast, has to be done gradually.
This is also called "boiling the frog in the pot slowly so he won't jump out before he's cooked".
Makes me really glad there are so many gun owners in the US.

At what point do these wierdos just come out and say, “In analyzing our policies and procedures, we’ve come to the conclusion that there are actually no teachings of Christ included at this point, so we’re changing our name to Feel-Good Club of Sweden”?
They must destroy the Bible to continue this farce; otherwise, it just becomes bizarre...
Nuther ex-church,very willingly too.

What’s the Lutheran position on Satanists? Still on the outs? Oh, the cruelty!
WTF!
Could use a Lutheran ping.
Exactly right. My grandparents are members of the LCMS and there are more Lutherans joining their church,since no gay marriages will be allowed. There are no gay clergy men/women in my grandparents’church either.
Oh,and one more thing I need to add;My rabbi will not marry gays either as he comes from an orthodox backround. My synagogue is Reform but it’s the only one in my town.I’m not orthodox but I’m not reform either. I fall somewhere in between.I don’t think it matters to G-D as long as long as I try to be the best Jew I can be. I do like the Reform synagogue because women are part of the services,and I can wear my yarmulke and tallit (prayer shawl).
More true than perhaps you realize, as retired C of S Bishop, the late Kristen Stendahl, participated in the laying of hands to consecrate the openly gay/parterned TEC "Bishop" Vicki Gene Robinson back in 2003.
The ELCA Office of Secretary had sternly warned ELCA Bishops that while they were permitted to attend that ceremony there were absolutely forbidden to take an active part in the consecration.
No gay marriages in the ELS or the WELS either. ELS(Evangelical Lutheran Synod) and WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod) are the more conservative synods with LCMS (Lutheran Church Missoui Synod) following. It really is sad the number of people who do not realize that there are BIG differences between the Lutheran Synods and just lump all Lutherans into the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) which endorses same sex marriage and practicing gay clergy.
