NKJ Romans 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to adebased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
- To what cultural aspersions do we owe the phenomenon of remaking the remakes of music videos? The Fire Island Pines boys, who created the Miley Cyrus send-up "Party In The F.I.P," receive their own homage with "Party In The MLC" from a bunch of dormmates at a "homecoming summit." QueerTV.
- Some (str8?) students at Midland Lutheran College in Nebraska were so enamored with the Fire Island gays' tribute to Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA", they made their own. Must be some of those liberal Lutherans. Regator.
- This is our dorm video for Summit dorm at MLC, Homecoming 2009. Thanks to the fellas of FIP for the inspiration. Digg.com
NKJ James 1:20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

"Pastor,"
What did all 7 of these boys say when you tried to personally contact them when you were concerned about their sin? Did you email them at their school accounts? Get their cell phone numbers? I think MLC makes dorm numbers available, that's probably the road you chose...?
Certainly you tried to privately discuss how this video offended you before you gossiped and slandered their name publicly, right?
This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for many things. I'm thankful that I have 2 pastors who would never say aloud, let alone mock publicly, people's sins.
I'm thankful that I know many young men who are studying to be pastors and who would never think to do a such a thing either. And I'm thankful that these men have forgiven you and moved on.
Lastly, I can't help but see the resemblence (sic) between your angry, hateful blog and that of famous, gay, hateful blogger, Perez Hilton.
Come to think of it, I'm offended sir. Very offended, you're just as hateful and spiteful as he is. Well, by all means, be a good Christian (because clearly you're the only one around) and take this site down.

GJ - I fail to grasp the comparison. I do not read this Hilton dude. His pink and/or blue hair gave his Fire Island proclivities away. The anonymous WELS student above seems to be a regular at the Hilton blog.

I'm thankful that we have Dr. Jackson to admonish and expose the modern day crypto-calvinists and secret Arminians who infest Lutherdom today, including MLC, WLC, and WLS.

GJ - The students at Mequon, New Ulm, and WLC should glance at Luther's Large Catechism in the Book of Concord, The Ten Commandments, The Eighth Commandment. I will quote it for their edification.
284] All this has been said regarding secret sins. But where the sin is quite public so that the judge and everybody know it, you can without any sin avoid him and let him go, because he has brought himself into disgrace, and you may also publicly testify concerning him. For when a matter is public in the light of day, there can be no slandering or false judging or testifying; as, when we now reprove the Pope with his doctrine, which is publicly set forth in books and proclaimed in all the world. For where the sin is public, the reproof also must be public, that every one may learn to guard against it. Book of Concord
The Party in the MLC video was posted for everyone to see, so the claims of privacy cannot be raised. The video stayed on You Tube for days, even though the student producers could read the outcry for themselves. Their claims of ignorance fell flat in light of their desire to parody Party in the FIP.
Did WLC's The Thword ask me about this before they published their front-page excuses? Not at all. The cries and lamentations of the self-proclaimed victims are a bit exaggerated. They and their friends keep raising the issue by showing their lack of repentance.
The following section on the Eighth Commandment fits the comment above and many other anonymous posts I receive every day. Some call me a few choice names and say I am not loving. Some are simply obscene and abusive. Others are patronizing and full of Scripture, yet unsigned. Call me thankful for having friends who sign their messages and do not engage in private whispering campaigns. Here is some more Luther for the Luther-an students who never read him:
281] But if we gossip about another in all corners, and stir the filth, no one will be reformed, and afterwards when we are to stand up and bear witness, we deny having said so. 282] Therefore it would serve such tongues right if their itch for slander were severely punished, as a warning to others. 283] If you were acting for your neighbor's reformation or from love of the truth, you would not sneak about secretly nor shun the day and the light.

As I recall, the students put their names in the video for the whole world to see and acknowledge their stupidity. Gossip and slander were unnecessary. They did it to themselves.
The writer's tone certainly seems to be that of a cocky MLC student.

GJ - How did he begin his message? - with pastor in quotation marks. In other words, he anonymously questioned whether I am a legitimate pastor and accused me of slander. Moreover, the slander consists of posting the video, which was already available world-wide. If the video were so innocent, why is it slander to post something they wanted everyone to see? The MLC athletes were proud that the Fire Island gays loved their knock-off of the original.
MLC students took a gay video and made it even gayer in their version. The MLC version looked very professional, with good editing, so why was it necessary to have a Michael Jackson move in it? Apparently they wanted everyone to see one of their pals holding his own in a video. Gross, infantile, foolish - the right words escape me.
I do not know whether this person is MLC or WLC. The schools want to double-team me, and that is fine. Have they stopped to ask these vidiots about their crime? It is a crime to steal music and broadcast it. They used the Miley Cyrus song without permission. That is theft, pure and simple. Crying "Fowl!" only reminds readers of who the turkeys are.

DK was trying to insult somebody's grammr by saying, "He's suckled long and deep at the bosom of mother WELS, and like so many other Lutherans--his brain mysteriously replaced with pudding, and his knowledge of Enlgish grammer, and, ussage and speling replaced with football statistics."
There, are--like 6 mistakes, in that sentence. And he, clearly had,--- dictionary.com open to kelm synomins.
