ELCA Calls LGBTQAI+ Love 'God-given and sacred'

3/30/2021

4 Comments

 
God's Word is the authority, not man, not liberal denominations.  Teaching things that go against God's Word is not a "loving" position.  It is instead very harmful to listeners and people that indulge in actions because of the ELCA's false teaching.

High Profile ELCA Pastor Outlines His Support of Polyamorous Unions

3/22/2021

3 Comments

 
Most ELCA pastors are paid contractors.  People give money for heresy being preached and that the denomination puts out.  I shine light on what the ELCA does and what it teaches, so as to help open the eyes of those who are sitting under the ELCA's instruction.  Can you help me reach the goal of $75,000 to support the work of this ministry?  That amount is what the ELCA recommends for pastors with 10 years experience and 300 member congregations. Gifts can be given by credit card, or PayPal at www.paypal.com/paypalme/exposingtheelca.  If you'd like to give by check send me a message (here) for more information.  

​-------
A topic that seems to be growing in ELCA circles is that of multi partner relationships.  Below you can read a social media post by a prominent ELCA pastor where he lists his response to someone's question about poly-amorous relationships.

Another Exposing the ELCA article about an ELCA bishop's support of polyamorous relationships can be found here.

"Queer4Jesus" ELCA pastor says church is "tool of Satan" to deny "who you love is what was meant for you"

3/18/2021

3 Comments

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

The below is a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He is "married" to a man and is upset the pope recently spoke against homosexual behavior. He writes in his Facebook post: 'Queerly Beloved, The church as an institution has theology that's about preserving power rather than radical love. Don't listen to it. It's a tool of Satan. Listen to the voice in your soul that tells you that you belong, that you are worth love, that the way you love and who you love is what was meant for you. That's the voice of God and it's more important than the voice of any institution."

It is tragic that the ELCA allows this person to be in pastoral leadership, a person who claims the "voice within" is what we should follow. No, Lutherans and all Christians follow the Scriptures. The "voice within" (our fallen human nature) will tell us anything we want to hear, which is why we need the Bible to guard us from deception and destruction.

Please pray many, many people leave the ELCA.

In Jesus our Savior,
​
Pastor Tom Brock

Worshiping a deity/God at an ELCA college

3/15/2021

1 Comment

 
(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

Today I took a not-so-pleasant nostalgic walk through Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, a college of the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Some of my most difficult memories are here since this is where we often held the conventions of the ELCA Minneapolis Area Synod.  A handful of conservative pastors and I would get to the microphone and ask “Why is the bishop’s office promoting homosexuality in its literature? Why is the ELCA paying for abortion for any reason in its healthcare plan which is paid for with offering dollars? Why are we incorporating non-Christian Native American worship practices into our worship services?

As I walked today into the beautiful Christ Chapel at Guatavus, I saw the below placard. Notice, the chaplain’s office, overseen by Lutheran clergy, will help connect students with a “deity/God“, not necessarily the Christian God.   Indeed, some years ago a Buddhist worship service was held in Christ Chapel and they laid an offering to Buddha on the altar.

How far things have fallen since the 1800’s when Scandinavian immigrants founded Lutheran colleges to pass on the faith to their children.  Today I would send no one to Gustavus, Saint Olaf College, Luther College, Concordia Morehead, or Augsburg University, as they have become so far removed from biblical Christianity.

The congregation I served and I left the ELCA years ago, but I get comments today from people who have left the ELCA because they saw our TV show explaining these very things.

In God our Father,

Pastor Tom Brock

The Goal

3/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Exposing the ELCA has helped millions of people know the truth about the departure from God's Word happening in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Armed with this truth, hundreds of thousands have left the denomination for churches that are Biblically-based.  

Maybe you are one of them.  Maybe your family members or neighbors.  Maybe your church has added to your numbers from people who left an ELCA church.

Exposing the ELCA wants to continue this ministry informing the 3.3 million ELCA members and millions more in our society about the denomination's faith destroying teachings.  But your help is needed.

Exposing the ELCA's goal is to raise $75,000, an amount many ELCA pastors make in one year. This money will help me continue helping people who are being lead astray, to know the truth.

Woke ELCA Pastor Posts Lord's Prayer Rewritten For Transgender Awareness

3/8/2021

5 Comments

 
Twisting and rewriting God's Word is Satan's specialty.  That is what comes to mind when we read the following Facebook post by ELCA pastor Clint Schnekloth.  Rev. Schnekloth recently posted a transgender version of the Lord's Prayer. 

There is no God-honoring reason for you or your church to remain in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
​

Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. - Proverbs 30:5-6.  

Rev. Schnekloth has been frequently featured on Exposing the ELCA for his blasphemous, unBiblical and radical statements. (See here)

ELCA Synod Calls Transgender Pastor to be Associate to the Bishop

3/1/2021

2 Comments

 
An ELCA Synod has called a transgender pastor to be their Associate to the Bishop with the title of "Director of Transitions and Discernment."

Rev. Tom Brock writes:


I am not making this up: ELCA bishop believes “Holy Spirit at work” as transgender pastor becomes “Director for Transitions…”

In a previous post I wrote about Anne Edison-Albright, newly elected bishop for the East Central Wisconsin Synod of the Evangelical Church in America.  She was a campus pastor at Luther College who marched in gay pride parades.  Now as bishop she has brought on board a transgender “man” (a woman who presents herself as a man) as “Associate to the Bishop, Director for Transitions and Discernment” for helping congregations in transition.   The bishop believes this is the Holy Spirit’s work, “I write to share news of the Holy Spirit at work…”

Transgender Pastor Asher O’Callaghan is “married” to another woman ELCA pastor.  In a bizarre analogy, O’Callagan believes she will be good for congregations in transition since she has gone through sexual transition herself to become a man.  Asher writes: “As a transgender pastor, I am intimately acquainted with transition. In fact, it was my own gender transition that first sparked my passion for these tumultuous times. Transitions are holy ground…I began to sense a call to ordained ministry in this church during my gender transition. Letting go of who I had been paved the way for who I would become. Similarly, it has been a joy to experience congregations finding new identity and direction during times of leadership transition.”  

The bishop then offered this strange prayer for her new associate (and reminds us of her preferred pronouns):

“God of thin spaces and in-between times, we give thanks for your Holy Spirit’s creative and disruptive work in our lives and in our synod. Bless Pastor Amy and Pastor Asher in this time of hellos and goodbyes…
Bishop Anne Edison-Albright
she/her/hers””

I have written many articles on heresy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America but the above is perhaps the strangest.   To believe that your sexual transition will be good for congregations in transition is beyond bizarre.   And for a bishop to claim this is the work of the Holy Spirit approaches blasphemy.

If you are an ELCA member in Wisconsin, do you want your offering dollars to pay the salaries of the above bishop and director?   Time to find a new, more biblical denomination.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

American society has been moving away from Christianity quickly and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is following that lead.  The most extreme and liberal beliefs of our world are parroted in the ELCA.  

See the documentation below and read the article from the ELCA's East Central Synod of Wisconsin. 

The ELCA Synod article says:


"Pastor Asher writes: 'As a transgender pastor, I am intimately acquainted with transition.'"
