I guess men can allow this, but does God allow this. Rom 1:23-28
The Spirit of God left the Lutheran Church a long time ago. I'm sure there are still some true believers in the Lutheran Church, but scripture tells us that God is calling them to come out and be seperate. To do otherwise is disobedience.Krispy
False shepherds... leading flocks straight into the maw of hell.I'm not so sad about the Pastors, but I want to weep for the shame that this brings upon the name of our God. Let's be jealous about the glory of God, that his name wouldn't be slandered and dragged through the mud. Let's pray for all those that will be decieved by these wicked false shepherds.

Fair enough... let me get a more narrow brush. :-)But on a whole, I am correct about the Lutheran Church.Krispy
