There is a point at which diametrically opposed positions make it impossible to fellowship.
Well, they still are talking to the Synods I’m in communion with. But most of the large State churches in Europe have gone full gay.
I gotta side with the Rooskies on this one.
Did the Russian side insist on condemning "homosexuality" or homosexual behavior? I bet the latter and the Lutherans wouldn't evn acknowledge this universal Bible truth.
Good thing Martin Luther doesn’t know how his name is being used. But worse yet is how God’s name is being used. To call evil good.

Unsurprising. Why would the Russians, who are apparently trying to stay faithful to Scripture and obedient to God’s Word at least on this issue, want to fellowship with apostate false prophets? The Finns obviously think they have the right to countermand God’s Word (which they don’t) and call God a liar, and engage in false prophecy. They’re prophesying that God didn’t say what He said about the behavior, and instead God doesn’t condemn the behavior. That’s a profoundly false prophecy, and false prophets don’t have a happy eternity, to put it mildly.
Good. No point in having a “dialogue” with those who outright reject God’s word.
There is such a thing as compromise on something that is not clear in the word of God but this thing against God is not one of them and if some one don`t believe in God then it is still against nature.
