ELCA Church Says 'Being Gay Is Not A Sin. Period.'

7/21/2019

"Being Gay Is Not A Sin. Period", according to multiple social media posts by St. Paul's Church in Rye Brook, New York, an ELCA congregation (see below). This is a message that the ELCA churchwide continually sends in all they do to lift up LBGT lifestyles in their words, actions and publications. Of course, the ELCA's 2009 decisions communicated this too, when they approved of gay weddings and practicing homosexual clergy in the denomination.

The truth is, homosexual lust and sexual relations is a sin. God says this in His Word.

Below are some St. Paul's Church social media posts, beginning with the post saying "Being Gay Is Not A Sin. Period.":

We are getting closer:
2 Thessalonians 2:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

A Short Primer on Homosexuality and the Bible -- https://stream.org/short-primer-homosexuality-bible/
“Jesus did not practice affirmational inclusion — meaning, He did not meet sinners where they were and affirm them in their sin. Rather, He practiced transformational inclusion — meaning, He met sinners where they were and transformed them.”

Because the ELCA encourages its members to live in unrepentant sin that the Bible clearly says will separate them from God for eternity, its primary mission is directly antithetical to Jesus' mission to save souls and bring them into His Father's kingdom. What more compelling reason can there be to flee from a denomination that directly opposes Jesus?

The Sola Feels ELCA doesn't even bother to appeal to Scripture anymore. It's become the Church of the Exalted Me. The Babylon Bee's satirical depiction of "progressive Christianity" describes the actual hermeneutic of today's Every Lutheran Confession Abandoned ELCA:

"The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man’s salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in our feels, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from our feels: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by the Scriptures, church history, or theologians.”

“Quite simply, ‘Sola Feels’ means that all spiritual truths only become true once they’re filtered through and accepted by our feels—all the feels... “Thus, things that make us feel bad, those are wrong. The things that give us all the happy feels, those are true, right, and good.”

Any "church" that does not call sinners to be saved, but welcomes sinners to save that "church," is anti-gospel by definition.

It looks like the ELCA is not even pretending to be Christian anymore.

If I am understanding correctly, being tempted to follow gay desires is not the sin, but acting on those temptations is-as in living in sin. As with any sin, we can turn away from temptation.
