As a Evangelical Christian I have no problem with Biblical Interpretation. Why doe ELCA have a problem? Perhaps they are a little liberal?

Bishop Hansen is smarter than God. He wants to write his own Bible. It will say that homosexuality is a gift from God to the church, just like the lesbian clergy, and the only sin in Hansen's Bible will be intollerance.

Where does this gentleman get his warrant to interpret the Scriptures in any way other than a literal, normal usage of language (which allows for metaphor, poetry, etc., and yet reads historical narrative unmatched anywhere in human experience)?

I'm with you, evangelical and I have no problem with understanding the Bible.

I once heard that one demonination was based, in part, on the statement sola scriptura. I wonder which one that was? Hint: Martin Luther founded it.

I got removed from membership for calling my pastor (E. Covenant) a liberal. Then they turned around and called me conservative and that was OK I guess.
