Will Lutherans die to sin or die as a Church

I can understand why the Episcopel Church is dieing and all the Christians are leaving, This is not unique to the Episcopalians, the Lutherans will be following down the path of Fuzzy Kitten Theology also albeit at a more leisurely pace.

The big brained thinkers who are steering these churches en masse must have rejected the teachings of the Christ for the teachings of Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep from the movie “Defending your life”. Where you go to a hire plain only because of how you lived your life as a good person who projected themselves into secular living.

This following of the secular churches take only parts of the teachings of the Christ Jesus and are closer to Humanist teachings than Christian Teaching. An example is Love, Love, Love, Love. And yet the loving aspect that Jesus taught was not a direct teaching but the fruits of his teachings. Love your neighbor has gone from being number 2 after loving God to supplant God altogether.

When one looks at those times when the Jews themselves were worshiping self rather than Yahweh, Jesus came to bring them back Into the fold, into reconciliation which I like to think of as realignment or in friendship with God. Jesus taught that a relationship with God, obedience to God and living for God was tantamount to be a member of the chosen peoples, and that he him self was the way, the truth and the light, which no one could come to the Father God, Abba except through him.

Many ministers in churches today do not teach this, they put there faith in the many rivers one ocean philosophy where all people go to heaven, which is just to opposite of the teachings of Jesus. The Episcopalians go a little further in that they are All inclusive of All peoples to even let those who promote a sinful life to be Ordained Clergy .

Now as a Yooper Theologian I have to say that Christianity is meant to be ALL INCLUSIVE, all are welcome to come to the father, BUT Salvation is a whole different matter you actually have to move toward God to receive that free gift, You have to first accept Jesus as your savior and then once you die to self, you fulfill the other requirements of a relationship with God out of Love, Humility and Gratitude.
The Gay clergy Issue is just the opposite, It’s like Joel Osteen preaches. “It’s all about you.”

The requirements of teachers is so severe that people who go to Christian seminary should be quaking in the boots that if they preach a false doctrine they will be severely punished by God and yet they do so Ignorantly because many Ministers have never studied the Bible, There teachers in Seminary taught secular theology that came from feel good , I’m a good person, love your neighbor psychology.
The Rev. Canon William Logan, 88, of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Detroit who supports the direction, of gay and lesbian rights similar to the context of the struggles of African-Americans and immigrant groups. Might as well go up to his own alter and spit a glob of goo onto the Cross of Christ, Not for supporting gay men and women which are certainly our brothers and sisters in need of fellowship with all believers in Christ but because of his fuzzy Kitten view of the Gospels.
The Rev. Logan sympathizes with conservative congregations saying "I don't want to dismiss someone else's dearly held beliefs." Umm HELLO Rev….It is your job, it is in your vows, IT is your calling from the Christ himself for you to do exactly that. I wonder, at what point in this mans life did he disregard the gospel of truth for the gospel of the itching ears?
Some issue of the Episcopalians and also the Lutherans are these,
Is Jesus the only means of salvation, or are there other legitimate paths? DUH !!
Is the Bible the literal word of God or man's word about God? DUH! DUH!!
Is premarital sex OK? Duh again.
It is Ignorance of the Bible or wanton disregard and the desire to bastardize Gods word that leads these so called ministers towards the road of damnation.
The Rev. Jonathan Sams of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Troy , Who wrote a blazingly sincere letter chastising the FreePress, himself could use a little more Bible and a lot less fuzzy warmth of those kittens from hell. His diocese did adopt a series of liberal changes that clashed with biblical tradition and if the good reverend really believes that such behavior is not compatible with the teachings of Christ or with Anglican tradition I have to advise Rev. Sams that he might want to change from calling himself a Christian to calling himself a Humanist.
It is not rocket science, Love your Lord you God with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. These people of the Episcopal church have thrown God out with the sweepings on the floor. So that they can be perceived as enlightened, much like the Gnostic 1900 years ago.
