Wolves will come
A lesbian has been ordained in a "Lutheran" church. Read it yourself. One of the men who helped facilitate her ordination, Hansen, says near the end of the article that he wants to do what is right in the eyes of the church, and make sure that "Christ is made known." If we are to divorce the teachings of Christ (say against homosexuality) from His "purpose" or "mission," then tell me, just what does it mean to make Christ known? Christ apart from His teachings is not the Christ of Scripture at all: "if you love me you will keep my commandments." Indeed are we not forewarned? "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."
These words are true.
