An ELCA Church Holds A 'Queer Christmas Pageant'

12/27/2018

Dreams and Visions is the name of a new church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) located in Baltimore, Maryland. Last week they held a gathering they called "Incarnate: A Queer Christmas Pageant." The ELCA church invited people to "Celebrate Christmas in a Queer and sacred space."

The ELCA church's Facebook post gives you a little more information about the pageant.

(See more photos of the pageant here.)

I probably do not need to explain to you how this is blasphemous, a mockery of Christ's birth and an encouragement of sinful and harmful living.

Dreams and Visions is a newly formed ELCA church run by well-known ELCA pastor, Emily Scott, who was a main stage speaker at the ELCA’s 2015 National Youth Gathering. The church formed in conjunction with the ELCA's Delaware-Maryland Synod. The synod was mentioned in the Queer Christmas Pageant 'Thank You' section. (See here)

Dreams and Visions' website explains the church's beginnings and vision saying, "Our Bishop Bill Gohl (as well as his predecessor) had dreamed of a new spiritual community taking root in Lauraville. Emily Scott, now our pastor, dreamed of a congregation that was fresh, joyful, and justice oriented, where LGBTQ+ folks were part of the DNA of the community. It turned out God shared that dream, and brought together Emily, the Delaware-Maryland Synod, and bunch of leaders, supporters, and congregants to imagine something new together."

The church website goes on to say "The ELCA is a denomination that supports the lives and ministries of LGBTQ people and, does incredible work with refugees and immigrants. The local expression of our denomination called the Delaware-Maryland Synod. Bishop Bill Gohl, Dr. Amsalu Geleta, and the Synod Council have all worked together so that Dreams and Visions might come into being!" (see here)

If you have any doubt that God is calling you to leave the ELCA, continue reading and then reread this article. The ELCA has abandoned God, Truth, Love and God's Word. You have no excuse to remain in this apostate denomination.

If it were honest, the ELCA would adopt as its next motto something like "ELCA: where we're always trying to get Jesus up to speed."

"False binaries are left behind" is the ELCA's we-know-better rebuke of Jesus' "Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning made them male and female?"

"Queerness is holy" is an in-God's-face challenge to Jesus' condemnation of "sexual immorality" (Gr. “porneia”) in Mark 7:21. The Greek word covers all “illicit intercourse” (adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism).

"The divine in each of us is seen and remembered" is the ELCA's cheeky-universalism retort to Jesus" "Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins" and ""Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

A denomination that constantly, brazenly exalts its invented doctrines over Jesus' commands and truths isn't Christian (or confessionally Lutheran), as Dan has documented thoroughly on this website. A denomination whose unbiblical teachings propel its members headlong toward eternal damnation is not a fit home for any Christian.

"...After watching these recent proofs that the ELCA is pretty much both “in the world” and “of the world,” however, I want to write this as a warning. First, to those orthodox souls who remain in “evolving” churches. They belong to and support churches that increasingly depart from right teaching. Indeed, those churches suppress it. And it will get worse in the future. Today’s United Lutheran Seminary seminarians will be tomorrow’s pastors. Remember Timothy: “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear” (2 Tim. 4:3) Second, I want to alert those churches that have not “evolved” to the dangers of doing just that. Once orthodoxy is breached on these issues, the process won’t stop there. It will lead to sharper denials of the apostolic faith. The revolution will eat its own children. There really is a slippery slope."

The Antichrist has entered the E.L.c.a.Synod.

'Can't wait' to see how Good Friday/Easter will be blasphemed.
