No one fully loves this idea described by the PR term of “snowflake adoption,” but this IVF procedure has been extolled by some as a godly option to deal with leftover frozen embryos that the original parents do not want. This initially sounds loving and very pro-life, but it has some deeper theological problems, not … Continue reading Snowflake Adoption

Questions and Answers on Life, Children, and Marriage
Must I have children? No. God does not require it, nor does having children save from sins or get one closer to Christ as a good work. However, God has joined the blessing of children to marriage and to the marital act. No human has the authority to separate these things God has joined together … Continue reading Questions and Answers on Life, Children, and Marriage

THE WHITE HOUSE’S WOKE PERVERSION OF SEX DISCRIMINATION AGAINST OUR SISTERS, DAUGHTERS, AND GRANDDAUGHTERS

Do it as a female athlete who … Continue reading THE WHITE HOUSE’S WOKE PERVERSION OF SEX DISCRIMINATION AGAINST OUR SISTERS, DAUGHTERS, AND GRANDDAUGHTERS

Un-Christian Churches
Pastors and congregations who refuse to take a stand against sin, must necessarily deny Christ in the process—eventually. It seems harsh and mean—at face value—to not accept people living a sinful lifestyle, but when by their lives they show that the Spirit of Christ does not rule them, accepting sin means minimizing Christ’s sacrifice for … Continue reading Un-Christian Churches
Redefining Inspiration: “Manuscripts and Composite Texts”
According to his bio, the author of this article, Rev. Alec Fisher, is an “adjunct language professor at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis.” Textual work with the manuscripts is necessary.

God’s Word is pure, even if we can’t … Continue reading Redefining Inspiration: “Manuscripts and Composite Texts”
ELCA Bishop Eaton Issues Statement onAnti-Transgender Legislation
Denying that sinners can change gender/sex is not “attacking their humanity,” but rather affirming it as divinely created. We are not a chaotic, unformed, genderless mix, rather our members, and their function are holy—not to be discarded or called mistakes. Rather, transgenderism elevates and worships identity—the pure sinful thoughts of sinners. Our dignity does not … Continue reading ELCA Bishop Eaton Issues Statement onAnti-Transgender Legislation
