I know it's correct, that's why I said it. And that's why your observation about rainbow flags outside ELCA churches was totally irrelvant.
I’m seeing some Missouri synod churches ( WA state ) getting a little weak over this subject. They loudly proclaim gays are welcome to the church but very quietly say marriage is between a man and a woman.
I agree gays need to go to church as much as anyone else but lets not soften the truth either.
I do agree with what our pastor says that we often view people as” your sins are worst then my sins”, but we also need to stand for the truth with boldness.
