The Concordian, the University paper, has piled on, as well. In the article, “Sin is Sin’ t-shirt stirs debate,” the author finds only those that hold the Pagan viewpoint to weigh in on the subject, save for Rebecca, the object of her piece, of course. Surprise!….The author even finds a Concordia campus pastor more than willing to trumpet in the Pagan icon of moral equivalency to lambast Rebecca’s position, and obviously at the expense of scripture that holds to the contrary (Romans 1:27, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, or even Martin Luther himself), which is just as the pastor’s ELCA leadership at the national level has chosen to do.

Be rooted in Christ!

The “Concordia” mentioned in this article is the only ELCA school with that name. All the other colleges and seminaries in this country with the name “Concordia” are LCMS and thus would NOT approve of homosexuality.

Surprise, surprise - the EL"C"A.

There is no doubt that Pagan leftist values are anathema to Christian ones, particularly as they relate to the subject of homosexuality

“Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me.” - Luther

Looks to me like the young woman in the article is following Luther well.

This article on life at Concordia simply confirms for me again my decision not to be consecrated for diaconal ministry in the ELCA, and my further decision last year to leave the ELCA for good and become a Nazarene. It’s nice to be in a church that truly lives by God’s Word.

this Catholic thinks that the college should be sued for using the term “Lutheran”, as should the ELCA. All us conservatives — whether Lutheran or Catholic need to stick together to fight the common anti-Christian enemy.
