This is why I am leaving the ELCA Lutheran Church.

This human sexuality study being conducted by the ELCA church has been going on for several years has been driven by a few that have a deranged agenda and the study has deadened the senses of the population to be tolerant to the point they do not care about what the bible really teaches.  As for the rest of the heterosexuals that think as I do, too many are too spineless to stand up to what is right and have ignored the issues at hand.  These people do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings for fear they might lose membership in their Church.  Now we have started the snow ball rolling downhill and the lessons learned by the Catholic Church, have not been acknowledged by the ELCA Lutherans.  The people for this policy change will call my actions and this statement as being bigoted.  This could not be further from the truth.  I have friends living in the Gay community and they lead very respectful lives and are leaders in our community and really do make a positive impact in our communities as being citizens, however I do not condone their actions due to the fact that I believe in repentance and when one sins and asks for forgiveness, they should refrain from the sin they asking forgiveness for.  Having the homosexual tendencies is one thing, but acting on them is another, and asking the community to accept them as leaders in our church has been the slippery slope started down, and now we are asking good descent people to look the other way for political reasons and put these people into mentoring positions where they are molding young minds into people who would want to be just like them and I feel this is WRONG.  The leaders in the community set an example for others to follow (like it or not) and our youth do not need to be brought up to acknowledge practicing homosexuality or premarital sex is OK in the eyes of GOD.
I am not without sin and fully recognize this.  I have my own issues, down falls and faults and I am currently trying to work through these.  With the help of God and my hard work and the patience of family and friends, I will overcome these, and being human, I will develop more issues needing to be worked on.  But asking forgiveness and turning around and fully intending to repeat this sin is blatantly thumbing your nose at the Lord.

Leviticus 18:22-You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

Romans 1:26-27 - For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

I Corinthians 6:9(NIV) - Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
