Carmel Lutheran Church (CLC) is part of the conservative, inerrantist Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). Pertinent to your claims about us,CLC and the LCMS believe and teach: 1. Homosexual behavior is always wrong, as taught in Scripture.
2. All sexual relations outside of marriage are always wrong, as taught in Scripture.
3. Abortion is wrong, as taught in Scripture
4. We do not ordain women as pastors, and do not allow them to preach, as taught in Scripture, both in I Cor. and I Tim.
For more information and answers to a host of questions on these and other topics, visit www.lcms.org. Also, read the following older pamphlets, written by our former synodical president, online:

You have confused us with a church of the very liberal denomination Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA, which ordains active homosexuals and women), and have slandered us because of that. You must repent.
Instead of a demonstration and picket line: If you are willing to leave your signs outside and do not disrupt our service, you should consider worshiping peacefully with us, and see for yourselves that we are a Bible-believing and Bible-teaching church that is part of a Bible-believing and Bible-teaching denomination.

Hello False Prophet.
Thank you for writing Westboro Baptist Church.
Like all the lying false prophets before you, and your Papa Satan, you are able to quote a little Scripture, and know a little something about the Bible. Yet you start out your false-hearted missive reaching into the gutter for some slanderous bilge about the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s how false prophets roll. (We couldn’t care less who you really are; there are millions of you faux-Christians polluting the landscape of doomed-america. You all get the same response; open-aired pure-hearted preaching, from the humble mourners at the Westboro Baptist Church, who maintain and defend pure gospel truth against all you slimy phony comers. You knew you were lying when you put the suggestion to the contrary in your email. We are well known, liar.)
We’ve already gotten a phone call from your Dog Kennel, a/k/a Whore House, with the same blather that you put forth below. We have sheep’s ears; we are watchers; and we recognize that you are dumb dogs that cannot bark, sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber, blind and ignorant about God and His true nature.
We are very familiar with your brand of lies and in no way confuse them with the related yet different brand of lies known as the ELCA Lutheran. You should all cut your tongues out with a rusty barbed wire before ever again likening yourself to that humble servant of God named Martin Luther.
We’ve looked at your milquetoast website. You are apologists, all of you.
If you truly believe the Word of God, you would welcome us with open arms; nay, you would already have your OWN “God Hates Fags,” “Mourn for your Sins,” “Fags Doom Nations,” “Thank God for Dead Soldiers,” “America is Doomed,” “Fag Church,” and similar signs, and be well known in your home town — indeed in the whole nation — for picketing on the mean streets of this cursed land, warning them of their final day of destruction, which is at hand. Instead, you slink around pretending to know and follow the standard, while you teach the loud lie “God loves everybody,” and pretend YOU have the ability to turn a goat into a sheep, and slip someone into Heaven who God does not call His own. You fill up your pews and pulpits with self-righteous proud sinners. You have not the foggiest notion of the grace of God, and when you put your lips to that topic, you turn it into lasciviousness with every breath. Your feast tables are full of vomit in God’s eyes; you are a stink in His nostrils; and you are the PICTURE of what Isaiah preached against in Isa. 66, what Jeremiah preached against in Jer. 23, and what all the prophets, apostles, and Christ himself had to endure while walking this earth. You are false prophets to your very core, who hate the truth of God and every aspect of His great glory and sovereignty. He’s going to cast you out of the marriage supper if you try to fraudulently slip in, and send you into hell without the slightest hesitation. The greatest offense for which you will answer is this scurrilous, deceitful, hateful email that you wrote to His beloved Bride.
Get a sign; hit the streets; mourn for your sins; obey God; and be THANKFUL that the servants of the Most High are blessing you with some words of truth.
Your friends at Westboro Baptist Church
