You hit the nail on the head. Which is why we are looking for a new church. The Holy Spirit knows where He is wanted or not.
Separation of church and state.
The church lives by the bible and refuses to condone otherwise.
The state can do whatever it wants as they are all perverts anyway.
Almost 20 years ago, we left the ELCA because we could see where it was headed. We’ve been in a Christ-centered LCMS ever since and it is exactly what we want.
