ELCA's SE Pennsylvania Synod apologizes for Church teaching that homosexuality is wrong, claims "Spirit" wants LGBTQIA+ justice

7/30/2020

5 Comments

 
​(The following article is from Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)
​Here are excerpts from the below video of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: "To my LGBTQIA+ siblings...you are who you were created you to be...Our creator is not one gender but God is at the same time full of gender and also beyond gender...The Church told lies about who and what was acceptable in God's sight. We as the Church have killed and wounded our LGBTQIA+ siblings by...declaring bodies sinful that God has called good...I am deeply sorry...Church...we must repent...". The video ends with the prayer "May we follow the Spirit's lead and work for justice and equity for our LGBTQIA+...siblings".

Very disturbing is the claim by some in the Church today that the Holy Spirit is leading the Church to affirm homosexuality and transgenderism. This is close to blaspheming the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible's teaching on homosexuality (see my article "What does the Bible teach about homosexuality?" at pastorsstudy.org). Sadly, this pro-LGBT teaching has also invaded the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church in America, the Presbyterian Church USA, the United Methodist Church and the Disciples of Christ.

In Jesus our Savior,

Pastor Tom Brock

ELCA Synod Holds Drag Queen Storytime

7/15/2020

3 Comments

 
A drag queen storytime was conducted by an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America synod last month.  The Metropolitan New York Synod introduced their drag queen book reading saying, "For our youngest members, join Vice-President Renee Wicklund at 11 am as we listen to special synodical guest drag queen, Coco Taylor, reads some inspiring books about celebrating differences and inclusion." 

Drag Queen storytime was broadcast on the synod Facebook page.  At the end of each book the drag queen read, which were transgender/LGBT celebrating books, the ELCA synod vice president would try to relate the story to something in the Bible. 
Picture

Lutheran Pastor Tom Brock addressed the situation saying:

"Here is drag queen story time for your children, presented by the Metropolitan New York Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

I am not making this up. This is not a satire. Here is drag queen story time for your children courtesy of the Metropolitan New York Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America."

"Claire Burkat, retired ELCA bishop of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod, wrote of the drag queen story time books: 'Three books I will buy for the little ones I love:)'"
(Read Rev. Brock here)

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has a mission to indoctrinate their membership, including children, with their ultra-liberal, Bible-rejecting beliefs.

How can anyone who fears God and believes His Word stay in this vile denomination that is teaching evil, in many forms, to people under their care?

ELCA Bishop Celebrates Gay Pastors and Promotes Training of Lay People to Affirm the LBGTQIA+ Community

5/18/2020

1 Comment

 
​​(The following article is from Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

10 years ago the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to ordain practicing homosexuals as pastors. This caused the largest church split in American history and the ELCA lost many members and donations. One ELCA seminary building was sold to Muslims, two other seminaries merged, and my alma mater Luther Seminary has had to sell off some of its buildings. Nevertheless, some ELCA bishops celebrate the move to have non-celibate homosexual and transgender pastors.

Here is a statement from Bishop Jim Arends of the La Crosse Area Synod:

"This is the 10th anniversary of the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ clergy and deacons. As we celebrate the work of the gay pastors in our synod we seek to grow in understanding and inclusion. The Synod Council voted this spring to provide training in the issues and realities of the LGBTQIA+ community. As opportunities are offered in the months to come, please take advantage of them." (See here, a little over half way down the page)

So it appears it is not enough that liberals in the church got the ELCA to approve homosexual relationships in 2009, now in 2020 they want to train Lutheran church members to be on board with the LGBTQIA+ movement. Your ELCA offering dollars at work.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

ELCA Synod Shares Post, Recommending LGBTQ Books to Read to Children

4/6/2020

1 Comment

 
The ELCA's Pennsylvania Synod is promoting "LBGTQ-friendly" books to read to your children. The Facebook post takes you to an article that lists 17 LGBTQ-friendly books. They are stories about "transgender" children, a controversial gay rights leader, supportive books about children whose parents are gay, a child at a parent's gay wedding, a book that talks about "gender fluidity for children and encourages them to explore their identities," a story about a "prince falling in love with a knight" and many same-sex love stories. 

The ELCA is trying to influence you and your family.  Here they are targeting children with their view on homosexuality, gender fluidity and transgenderism.

Why are you a part of a wayward denomination that preaches lifestyles that go against God's will for people?

ELCA Synod Quotes Scripture, 'What God Has Made Clean,' Referring to LGBTQ+ 'Love'

3/20/2020

1 Comment

 
A Facebook post by the ELCA's Metro DC Synod begins by indicating the hashtags, "#dailybible" and "#loveislove" and is followed by a LGBTQ+ flag. Then the synod shares the Bible verse "The voice said to him again, a second time, 'what god has made clean, you must not call profane" - Acts 10:15.

This pro-LGBTQ+ post, combined with the Bible verse, is deeply disturbing. It claims that God is supportive of sexual relationships that fall outside of those that are heterosexual, between one man and one woman. This post indicates that those relationships are "clean," permissible and good.

This is a proof-texted use of a Bible verse about Peter's vision, as God called him to go to the Gentiles with the Gospel. God revealed to Peter a new understanding of the law as it relates to what was clean and unclean. Context matters. This is a manipulative use of Scripture to deliver an agenda and cause people to blindly follow a new thought that supports that agenda.
​

Here is another post by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America synod that also uses the LGBTQ+ mantra, "love is love." It seems that the background image of the picture also supports that message.

ELCA Bishop Retweet Calls the Salvation Army a 'Garbage Organization'

12/12/2019

3 Comments

 
Kristen Kuempel is a newly elected bishop in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. (See Bishop Kuempel's description of herself on the right)  Last month she retweeted a person's tweet that said:

"A reminder this holiday season that the Salvation Army is a homophobic, transphobic, uncaring, garbage organization" (See below).

The Salvation Army is a Christian denomination that loves everyone and holds to the teachings of God's Word. 

The fact that an ELCA bishop demonizes and portrays the Salvation Army this way tells you everything you need to know about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  
​
Picture
How do you think ELCA leadership feels about their members who believe God's Word,  that homosexuality is sinful and that trying to be a gender you are not, is harmful?

Why would anyone who trusts the Word of God support and be part of one of their churches? 

Picture

Additionally, as you consider how Bishop Kuempel reacts to those with whom she disagrees, ask yourself, when reading her tweet below, is this the type of language and behavior you want to see from a leader in your church?  Why does the ELCA  allow this?

Fuck this guy. https://t.co/UrjMJt5mEC

ELCA Synod Council Calls Transgender Pastor

11/23/2019

3 Comments

 
Nicole Garcia is the latest transgender pastor ordained by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  The Rocky Mountain Synod of the ELCA made the announcement:

​"Let it be acclaimed that Nicole Garcia is a called and ordained minister in the church of Christ.
Pastor Nicole has been called by the Rocky Mountain Synod Council to serve as mission developer for Westview, a new worshipping community in Boulder CO.
Christ's Church, Better Together!"

One needs to ask, is Rev Nicole Garcia and the "new worshipping community" being financially supported by the ELCA synod?  
​
In the pictures that follow you will see the Rocky Mountain Synod Bishop Jim Gonia, high-profile ELCA pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber, and transgender ELCA pastors Megan Rohrer and Asher O'Callaghan.

Middle School ELCA Gathering Has Transgender Chaplain

11/1/2019

3 Comments

 
The Delaware-Maryland Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America held a youth gathering (see here) two weeks ago for 6th, 7th and 8th graders.  The person chosen to be chaplain for the middle schoolers was transgender ELCA vicar Atticus Zavaletta. ​(see here and below) 

This is another example of how the ELCA continues to lift up transgender confusion and homosexuality to young people.

​People of God, please pray for God's will to prevail in the hearts and minds of those still worshiping in the ELCA and for ELCA leaders and those struggling with same-sex attraction and gender confusion to turn from sin and trust God and His Truth. 

Below are Facebook posts about the youth event by the Delaware-Maryland Synod, Delaware-Maryland Synod Bishop Bill Gohl and transgender ELCA vicar Atticus Zavaletta.

ELCA Church invites Muslims Inside to Pray to their god

Jesus did not and would not invite worshipers of Baal into the Temple of God to worship their deity. But the Minneapolis Area Synod of the ELCA proudly reports on one of their ELCA churches that invited Muslims to pray at their church.

A second Facebook post by the ELCA synod has the ELCA church's pastor saying they "Sometimes even pray with them."

The ELCA's Annual Columbus Day Attack

10/15/2019

3 Comments

 
When Columbus Day rolls around each year, you can count on one thing: the ELCA will be denouncing it. So it was, yesterday, when Women of the ELCA (WELCA) published an article by an author whom WELCA says "...makes an argument for changing the name Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day in every state."  (See here or below)

Picture

It seems the ELCA's Northwest Washington Synod would like to rename Columbus Day to "Native American Day." (See below)

What happened at the 2019 ELCA Synod Assemblies

9/4/2019

3 Comments

 
The spring and summer of 2019 saw synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America holding their assemblies.  It is a time when the liberal of liberals, the radical of radicals put down their keyboards and take a pause from their social media rantings to go to their ELCA synod assembly in order to vote for their favorite causes and elect their leaders.  

Some of this year's attendees and happenings are contained below:


​Homosexual bishop, Guy Erwin was re-elected to another 6-year term by the Southwest California Synod. The synod Facebook page shared the news and a picture from SoCal Lutherans, which says they are "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Allied Lutheran Christians in Southern California." 
​
Picture


During the Delaware-Maryland (DE-MD) Synod Assembly one of the most vile pastors in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was elected to the synod Discipline Committee, Rev. Lura Groen.  (Read about her here)

Lura Groen and Sallie Gartside have been elected to the Discipline Committee. #demdsa19

— DE-MD Synod ELCA (@ELCAdemdsynod) May 31, 2019


Pastor Tamika Jay claims she is part of the DE-MD Synod and she wants attendees to know that "...not 'agreeing' about the rights and welcome of all of G-d's people is not about unity.  That is bigotry."

And to be clear, not “agreeing” about the rights and welcome of all of G-d’s people is not about unity. That is bigotry. Let’s call a thing a thing #demdsa19

— Pastor Tamika Jay □ (@tamika_jay_) May 31, 2019

Pastor Jay goes on to say that she is "proud of us" (the DE-MA Synod) for voting be a RIC (LGBT approving) Synod.

I and so proud of us for voting for the resolution to be a RIC synod. #demdsa19

— Pastor Tamika Jay □ (@tamika_jay_) May 31, 2019


​An article from the ELCA magazine Living Lutheran reports the Northeastern Minnesota synod passed resolutions on "polices that welcome migrants, opposing conversion therapy and calling for a commitment toward gender justice":

Picture
(See page 36 here) 


A Pacifica Synod of the ELCA resolution was approved for "full participation of rostered ministers in equality, diversity and anti-racism training." Another resolution passed calling for "the use of inclusive and expansive language for humankind and God." (See page 38 here)
​


​I do not know exactly what this Tweet and the list of "Questions for Candidates" by the Upstate New York Synod means, but it doesn't sound good.

The Sierra Pacific Synod Assembly passed ​Resolution 2019-4 Regarding a Social Statement on Gender Identity and Gender Expression. It said:

"RESOLVED that the Sierra Pacific Synod memorialize the 2019 Churchwide Assembly of the ELCA to commission a study leading to a social statement on gender identity, gender expression and human sexuality; and be it further

RESOLVED that this study should facilitate education among our members so as to build awareness of the broad varieties of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation among God's people, as well as provide pastoral care insights regarding concerns and issues of the transgender experience and gender non-conformity." (See here) 




ELCA Pastor Emily Scott, a past speaker at the ELCA Youth Gathering, wrote to those attending the Delaware-Maryland Synod assembly encouraging people to write on their name tag which pronouns people should use when addressing them. 

Hey Synod Assembly! Today you’ll see some folks with their pronouns written on their nametag. This practice helps trans and nonbinary folks communicate their gender identity. Writing yours too is a sign of support, and a reminder not to make assumptions! #demdsa19 pic.twitter.com/gClcKyHzlW

The ELCA's Saint Paul Area Synod Assembly's action:

​At the Metropolitan New York Synod they "set the agenda for the Synod's strategic plan for the upcoming year, including major initiatives surrounding ecumenical efforts, inclusion of immigrants, and programming celebrating LGBTQIA+ congregants. The group also passed a resolution for consideration to the ELCA National Church Assembly in August, to declare itself as a "Sanctuary" Denomination, ready to seek justice and protection for refugees and undocumented people; and a resolution to endorse the Poor People's Campaign and encourage its members to participate where appropriate in the organizing, advocacy, and actions of the campaign." (See here) 

Also the Metro New York Synod:

@MetroNYSynod officially memorialized to the @ELCA Churchwide Assembly to officially endorse @UniteThePoor campaign. This is part of the national strategy of @emmauscollecti1 for dismantling white supremacy in the ELCA and the world.

Hell is of No Concern to the ELCA

8/30/2019

5 Comments

 
God's Word warns us about hell. (See here) Jesus spoke of hell and eternal punishment more than anyone in Scripture. Yet the ELCA seems to show no concern about people going to hell. 

​Rev. Craig Miller is Assistant to the Bishop in the ELCA's Upper Susquehanna Synod. In a question and answer session held at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Bloomsburg, PA, he answered the following question, “Is the ELCA concerned about anyone going to hell?”
Picture
Rev. Craig Miller replied, “Is the ELCA concerned about anyone going to hell? I have not heard people express concern...Bishop have you heard of anyone expressing concern about (hell)? Our concern is that people know the gospel message is for them…Short answer is probably no, the ELCA has not expressed any concern that anyone is going to hell. But we wouldn’t know who it would be if it was somebody.” The recording, which has been removed from the website, was here and the statement was made at 1:55:54 on December 9, 2018.
 
ELCA leaders are not concerned about hell because most do not believe in hell or that anyone will be there. (See here and here. Scroll down the page.)

A couple years ago ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton was asked, "Is there a hell?" Bishop Eaton's answered, "There may be, but I think it is empty.” (See here) 

This is against the witness of Scripture, against what God has said in His Word.

Is there any wonder why the ELCA is not about bringing people to faith in Christ?

Is there any wonder why many ELCA leaders are preaching universalism, that all people will be saved?

​I have no doubt the devil is pleased.

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)

Picture
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.

Synod T-shirts For ELCA ChurchWide Assembly 'Celebrate' LGBTQ+

Celebrating sin. That is what we see happening in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Case in point, the bishop of the New England Synod of the ELCA, James Hazelwood, announced that the New England Synod's Churchwide Assembly t-shirt will, in part, say "We Celebrate" and "LGBTQ+." (See below)

The t-shirts are being made by the synod to be worn at the upcoming ELCA Churchwide Assembly.

ELCA Synod Announces 'Reconciling Sexuality Week' to Be Held At ELCA Seminary

6/14/2019

1 Comment

 
​The North Carolina Synod of the ELCA sent out their newsletter March 5, 2019. It reveals a lot about the synod and where it stands on LGBTQ issues. 

One section of the synod newsletter announced Reconciling Sexuality Week, which will be held at the ELCA's 
Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (LTSS). See below.

Picture

Additionally, the North Carolina synod shared an article titled, "In this to the end," which speaks to the recent vote by the Methodist Church on gay marriage. The synod email reprinted part of the article which states, "'We're in this to the end,' sang LGBTQ United Methodists and their allies. They prayed. They hugged. They pulled out more chairs as people packed a worship service hosted by the LGBTQ-affirming Love Your Neighbor Coalition on Wednesday morning (Feb. 27) in a meeting room at the Holiday Inn, a day after a three-year-long push to make their church more inclusive had been blocked. Many at the worship service committed to staying in a denomination that voted Tuesday (Feb. 26) to reiterate language in the Book of Discipline, its rulebook, saying LGBTQ people could not marry or be ordained in its churches."

See here


The synod also gave this invitation, "Join us for Theology on Tap weekend" for a "weekend of craft brews."
