Perhaps you heard the news concerning the ELCA, (the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America). They voted in Minneapolis to allow sodomites that are in "long term and monogamous relationships" to be pastors.
In the past they have affirmed their support of abortion.
The following quotation is taken from the denomination's website.
"A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born". And they add, "The church recognizes that there can be sound reasons for ending a pregnancy through induced abortion"
So this church has affirmed that they condone adultery, perversion, and murder.
Having rejected the Lord Jesus as the only way of salvation, they have turned to moral relativism. They are the blind leading the blind as our Lord said, and they truly have fallen into the ditch.
No, I am not serious about nailing 95 thesis on the door of any Lutheran church. It is better that you obey the scripture that says, "Come out from among them, and be ye separate."
And concerning what a scriptural church is, Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Sorry, Mr. Luther was about 1500 years to late. And no need to reform Roman Catholicism, they were never the true church having always preached their false message that is connected to the Mass.
Stick with the scriptures!!! Believe what God said, adding nothing and taking nothing away, and keeping it in context.
Great post throughout! It is a shame to see this and to know the world will think if this church accepts it is even more ok...but the Lutheran "church" stopped being a churchwhen they stopped preaching the goepel. Were they ever a real church? I think in some cases. Luther though persecuted and impoverished members of the true church 500 years ago!
