'Openly queer' preacher at Luther Seminary experienced Christ’s 'resurrection' by embracing his bisexuality

4/7/2022

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

Go to minute 25:20 below and watch this bisexual senior student preach how he experienced Jesus Christ by embracing his bisexuality. Long ago I preached my senior sermon at Luther Seminary, a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Back then Luther was somewhat liberal, today it has become radical.

I am grieved by what has happened to my seminary.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

WELCA Observes Bisexual Awareness Week

9/22/2020

This is what the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has become. It does not resemble Christianity. It does not resemble Christ. The people and churches that continue to support this denomination and continue to be in the ELCA have some answering to do. The ELCA is leading people into sin. They stand for their own beliefs, not for God's instructions.

Choose this day whom you will serve. You can not serve God and the ELCA.

ELCA Says They Sinned For Refusing to Ordain Openly LGBTQIA+ 'Siblings'

11/26/2019

"Before 2009, our denomination sinfully refused to ordain any of our openly LGBTQIA+ siblings, so we believe it is important to acknowledge and lament this barrier."

So the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America recently declared on their Facebook page. (See screenshot on the right)

That is wrong. But what was sinful is when the ELCA voted to allow the ordination of practicing, monogamous homosexuals. It is a position that has harmed many people.

Is being monogamous even a requirement anymore or was it ever? And if the ELCA was sinning because they did not ordain practicing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual/Allies (LGBTQIA+) people, it stands to reason that the ELCA believes that those that do not celebrate these behaviors are also guilty of sin.

One must also consider as to when the ELCA voted to ordain people who identify as bisexual and transgender?

After the ELCA comment, a few posts later, the ELCA recommended resources that are made by an LBGTQIA+ organization. (See below)

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Facebook statements were made in the comment section of the ELCA-posted video (below), celebrating "the process of inviting more than just cis-men to ordained ministry."

ELCA Bishop Supports Polygamy

8/5/2019

6 Comments

A few days ago a show by Bancroft TV was posted on Youtube titled "Being Polygamous And Christian Is Not A Sin | LOVE DON’T JUDGE."

The show spotlights two women and a man who are a "throuple" - or having a sexual relationship between three people.

Appearing on the show is Leila Ortiz, who was elected this summer as bishop of the ELCA Metropolitan Washington, D.C., Synod. (Rev. Ortiz was previously Assistant to the Bishop in the same ELCA synod.) Ortiz is interviewed, after we are told by the narrator that the trouple, “Having been asked to leave their Pentecostal church... went in search of a church that would accept their relationship."

ELCA Bishop elect Leila Ortiz then recounted their meeting and her learning about their polygamous relationship:

“There’s still many people who would be scandalized and would even be scandalized by my acceptance of them. And that’s okay, that’s okay. I’m very grounded in my faith.”

“How do you judge and how do you point fingers and condemn people that don’t know any other way of being? People have been in polygamous relationships for decades, they have just been private about it. So now we are in a place where it is public. This isn’t just a fad. This is a reality that has always been.” (see video below)

This is an ELCA bishop proclaiming support for polygamous relationships. Polygamy is against God's will as He clearly outlined in Scripture. (See here) The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has become so opposed to the Truth of God's Word that threesomes are fine. This is where the ELCA is headed and it will continue to get worse.
