The LCMS is very conservative. They strongly disagree with the ELCA's progressive stance on the controversial issues previously stated.

"The LCMS unequivocally teaches that homosexuality behavior is intrinsically sinful because it is contrary to God's Word. In love, we want to help the person caught up in the homosexual life to repent of his sin and receive God's forgiveness.

Overall, Martin Luther changed Christianity forever, creating the Protestant denomination which Lutheranism sprang out of.
