Were I a gambling man, I would bet a dinner at a Chicago steakhouse that there is a strong effort to bring those memorials to the floor of the Assembly.
I wish it would Charles, and be done with it once an for all. Then we can all answer, our we for Scripture and the true teachings of God's Word, or are we just going to throw our arms up and say Scripture doesn't apply to us, as we have done before, with CCM, as well as the Augsburg Confession.
As Luther stated, we base every doctrine on Scripture proofs. Where is the Scripture proofs for these actions? I just wish they would put it up for a ChurchWide Vote period, World Wide, and be done with it. I think the whole issue would be dropped period.

There is nothing in Scripture that supports going against Scripture, and its teachings, no matter how enlightened a person is. Get Along Faithfully, correct - Love the Sinner, hate the sin! Be a repentant Sinner, or an Unrepentant Sinner, be ungoldy and immoral, or repentant and turn away from immorality, and perversion!
