The LCMS Calls a Post a Post:
Liberal onlookers will never understand or accept the public and
decisive condemnation of [same sex] heresy, because they hate Christian doctrine
with the zeal of a fundamentalist. It is not enough for them to mock
the Bible and its teachings; they cannot fathom the continued existence
of a millennia-old religion that, when pressed, refuses to embrace
everything it has always opposed. They clutch their pearls and express
surprised horror whenever a conservative church body like the Missouri
Synod expels someone for repeatedly and openly violating its clearly
stated beliefs. ... [T]he liberals are winning in the public square. But they can never win
in our churches, so long as faithful clergy and laity stand up to them
boldly, decisively—and swiftly, before damage is done.
