Sliding toward apostasy

Advocates Hail Lutheran Act on Homosexual Clergy Members

The country’s largest Lutheran denomination officially bars openly gay [homosexual] people from the ministry. But in a move that advocates for gay men and lesbians are hailing as a step toward changing that policy, the denomination is urging its bishops to refrain from disciplining gay members of the clergy who are in committed same-sex relationships.

Going beyond loving the sinner, many now wish to love the sin as well, or rather, deciding for themselves that sodomy and other deviant homosexual acts are not depraved and sinful but are manifestations of love and commitment.
