Homosexuality is a flash point, that’s for sure.

Regardless of what happens with same-sex marriage nationwide, these “gay” issues will be something confronting churches. I don’t think any mainstream religion allows full-fledged homosexual marriage within their denomination. The traditional teachings that homosexuality is immoral will be challenged further.

Maybe many more denomination will split into liberal and conservative organizations, over the gay issues.

“Every sin qualifies you for hell.”

A Lutheran minister said this?

It’s not about sex. It’s about dictating the terms of our salvation to the One who paid the price.

It’s quibbling with the rescuer over the color of the boat used to rescue us.

OK, I gotta ask . . .

Lutheran Church of Mahomet ?!?!?!?!?!?

Whazzup widdat? Lutheran Muslims? (I hope it's just the name of a local town, otherwise things in ELCA have gone in an extremely weird direction).

The Rev. James Lehmann, pastor in Flatville, said two major points of contention are "the authority of Scripture"

In doctrinal formation. This is the point I was failing to make with you.
