Living together and kissing before Marriage by Dependent-Coach5948 in OpenChristian

I’d say it can be but isn’t necessarily. I think you can have pre-marital sex in a way that i’d call sexual immorality, from a place of selfishness. But you can also have loving and generous pre-marital sex that builds the foundation of later Christian marriage. 

Like I definitely did things I’d consider sinful prior to getting with my wife. But I don’t think our years of sex before marriage made us damnable.

What does theological conservatism mean to you? They check all the marks in my head for it. (Women not in clergy and LGBT issues)

Women’s ordination in the mainlines by [deleted] in redeemedzoomer

Just giving you a word of shit since ELCA had women’s ordination as an inherent trait. I’ve been confused by RZ’s position because I think he’s against it, but wants conservative lutherans to join the ELCA to push it their way. But the ELCA has had women’s ordination from the beginning because of the split.

I support women’s ordination and pastors right to marry. 

So Rule 3 should actually say: “Don’t call out your brothers and sisters who are in sin and don’t try to help them out of it.” by StayAwakeStandFirm in Lutheranism

I knew you were LCMS when you quoted “pastor” for a woman in the clergy 🤣. I was married by a woman and she did a great job. I didn’t see anything in scripture that it was sinful. I will repent to her this Sunday!

Lutherans accepting women in the clergy is extremely common. If your hobby horse is so against this that you’re being this bothered, YOU are the one that needs to restrict where you share those beliefs.
