Since when is the word of God something that we get to vote on?

Christians who have a bias for love. Imagine that. Good work Lutherans.

Maybe my Mormon state will eventually catch up.

God made it clear, 1 man and 1 women for life and homosexuality is a sin, this church condemned itself!. i'm not homophobic, im just saying what the bible says , this is not a church of God.

What a wonderful moment in this video when you see that 66.67% of the vote was in favour of this motion. This is a solid demonstration that not all Christians are bigots and homophobes. So many are good, decent, kind people who believe in the Gospel of Jesus and in spreading God's love. Bravo to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America!

@MrsSarb Uh... the Church voted on what books went into the Bible to begin with.

@lahainke I think it's sad that you turn to a compilation of roughly 2,000+ year old writings deemed, "The Bible" for the answer to modern day social problems.

[lahainke]

It is sad that they voted on this......They should be turning to the Bible for the answer.

So the ELCA really means Karl Marx when they say Jesus, huh?

@Kuberl I think Christ has return again and again. I think Christ IS in the midst of us. Why waiting for Christ when he never ask us to wait for him? The whole process was done in prayers over and over again in the name of Christ. No satan can influenced anything in the name of Christ. Amen?

[bistokna70]

@badad4444 It took 2/3 of the whole body to change. Let your voice be heard by your Mormon family, make a space for conversation and remember change happens because human progress.

Por multiplicar a iniquidade... imundos que pisaram na reforma, pisaram no sangue de Lutero, profanaram a Palavra de Deus, transgrediram os preceitos cristãos com suas lascivas, práticas imundas e homossexuais, vocês pagarão caro por isso, denegriram a Igreja Luterana, envergonharam-nos, mas os fiéis serão salvo não por ouvir o sermão de vossas bocas imundas, mas da Palavra de Deus. Saiam da Igreja de Cristo, vão para sodoma e gomorra pastores homossexuais filhos do diabo.
