Each party referred to the Bible to justify the opposing views.

But only one party had to remake it in their own image.

Voters for the blessing ceremony quoted the commandment of love and spoke about God’s mercy...

YES he is merciful if you REPENT of your sin and ask forgiveness!!

Not if you revel in the sin and put it in people’s faces!!

Someone read the Bible the wrong way!!

All Christians Sin, and we are called to repent
The greater error is to teach Sin as good, wise, or to be commended
Those who teach Evil as Good are under severe judgement
Honoring Sin is a profound corruption of the Body of Christ

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. “Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

(NIV, Matthew 18:6-7)

So that church now blesses that which the Bible condemns? Looks like a lot more souls will be going to hell than just the two at a time that get “blessed”.

Morons.

After the UMC rejects Homo marriages, the UMC ordains an active Homo bishop. It looks like the UMC has jumped the shark. Full speed toward schism.

The short answer is... yes
Not just the Bible, Jesus himself

Matthew 15:19
It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

REVELATION 21:27
And nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it (the holy city, new Jerusalem - J.Q.), but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

And that is why there are few church goers in central and northern Europe. All politics, no bible.

This LCMS Lutheran soundly condemns the actions of this phony “Lutheran” church body.

It goes to show that the word evangelical has lost all meaning. These people don’t hold to any biblical definition of the gospel or of sin.

Hopefully God will bless them the way he did Sodom an Gomorah.
