Lutheran Split

This is interesting. The Lutheran church will split due to disagreeing on what which part of the Bible is relevant to our society. Its amazing that this is what it has come to in our society. Basically the argument comes down to: is it okay for ministers to live an active gay lifestyle. I read a book recently, it said that if we no longer believe the Word of God to be the inspired Word of God without any fallacy...........then we can't be sure of our own faith. If we can not be sure of our salvation then we can not be sure Christ died for us. So as Christians believing that the Word of God is inspired and accurate in its entirety is important. The Bible is clear on the issue of any kind of sex before marriage. That it is a sin. Praise the Lord for his grace and mercy..........but if we know we are sinning and continue in our sin then is one truly saved? Choose ye today who you will serve. The choice is clear. We must turn from our sinful lifestyle if we are to follow Jesus. One foot in the world and one in foot in the church isn't going to cut it. Another scripture found in the book of James states: a house divided will not stand. When I have sinned I need to ask for forgiveness and do my best to turn from the sinful behavior. If we do sin we can not let that distract us from getting back on track with God.......because of the shame, guilt and hurt sin causes.......its too easy to fall into that death trap that we can not be forgiven. The Bible teaches us that if we ask for forgiveness Jesus will forgive us of our sins. (this does not give us a license to sin). The devil is here to steal, kill and destroy and as my father in law says "anything that can be shaken will be." Stay on guard and let the Word become you!
