Are we on our way to the anti-church?

The good ship ELCA...
Or the Shellfish blog...
A blog named for specious reasoning in interpreting the Scriptures ("Well, Leviticus says you can't eat shellfish..."). We've sought to help the good folk of the ELCA and her closest partners to be not deceived by the Confusionists (for whom the clear window of Scriptures, Creed, and Confessions is but a dim mirror) at the helm.

The Church needs to be very clear on what is sin and what is not sin!
How can I keep score and know how good I am if the Church is wishy-washy on what is a sin and what is not? I don't want to spend my time weighing circumstances. What do I care what sort of background someone has? If they do sin, they should be punished.
We should stick to the BIBLE! The BIBLE is clear on what is abomination. When I heard that the Luther League group (or whatever they're calling it these days) was going to Red Lobster after church 3 weeks ago I got up in the middle of the service and got my wife and kids and we just walked out. I've read Leviticus. God said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Err, John, as a crustacaen, I truly support your viewpoint as to Red Lobster. However, as a Lutheran, I hope you know that it is your keeping a scorecard that is a-bomb-able. All you humans need to know is that you are a sinner, that the promise of God is to redeem all who call on His name.
But then you know that and I suspect that you know that I am walking the line whether to be pastoral to a layperson or tongue in cheek with a clever insider!
Either way, be blessed and keep coming back. The churhc you save may be your own (figuratively speaking of course).
