"We affirm that marriage is the conjugal life between a man and a woman and that homosexual activity is incompatible with the discipleship of Christ. We believe that in following the modern trends, churches are departing from the apostolic doctrine of human sexuality and marriage. We see the Lutheran communion and ecumenical efforts endangered by such decisions and actions because they lead to a situation where the Lutheran churches, members of the Lutheran World Federation, are not able to fully recognize each other’s ecclesiastical offices, to exchange the ministries, and to participate together in preaching the Word and celebrating the sacraments.

There are areas of the Bible that are absolutely clear: murder, adultery, coveting a neighbor’s property, honoring your parents.

There are areas of the Bible that allow for some ambiguity: does caring for the poor mean with your own time and money or with that of your neighbor? [I think the answer is fairly clear, but I admit that it is possible that I am wrong.]

Homosexual actions are so clearly in the first category that I am disgusted with religious leaders who pretend otherwise.
