If you only subscribe to this blog via email or blog reader, you likely did not see that you can read the entire text of “What does the LC-MS document “When Homes are Heartless” Mean?” series in one place (including the piece on the Duluth Model).

Federalist contributor Matthew E. Cochran also weighed in on the series in a recent blog post: 

“…when the Church looks to the world for guidance on this issue, she inevitably imbibes a substantial amount of worldly philosophy that undermines Biblical teachings.”

There has also been a very important conversation that has happened, and I have to clarify what I previously said about this meme. Here is what I can say:

Since I have been suspended from a Facebook group I'm a part of for unknowingly violating some rules, let me just repeat this:

While I have absolutely no regrets about my series on the LC-MS's "When Homes are Heartless" document… I was wrong[, in part,] about this meme. pic.twitter.com/3zEfasJjPj

What Nathan is dealing with here is exactly what the legal establishment of the west has been trying to do. 1) Make biblical definitions equal crimes and 2) Substitute completely new definitions of marriage, gender, sexuality, and the whole gambit. https://t.co/NhjaXYvLty

I'm starting to think @NathanRinne has a point with his questions about the LCMS's domestic violence website. Particularly, their recommend of the questionable Duluth power and control model (it pretty much denies female on male DV).

If you're not following this series at Just & Sinner, you need to start. When the worldly understanding of domestic abuse hinges on "control," what are the consequences of forcing it on Christian marriages where the husband is head of the wife as Christ is head of the Church? https://t.co/AT7Htettci
