ELCA head bishop sides with homosexuals, not Catholic adoption agency, in Supreme Court case

7/12/2021

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

The Supreme Court this month unanimously ruled that a Catholic adoption agency in Philadelphia receiving government funding should not be forced to violate its beliefs by giving children to homosexual couples. Elizabeth Eaton is head bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. She recently did a gay pride video to celebrate pride month and now has come out with a statement regarding the Supreme Court decision: "The ELCA stands with our LGBTQIA+ siblings in Christ...affirming (their) vocation..as parents and foster parents."

It is tragic that the ELCA has decided to side with practicing homosexuals and not the Catholic Church, which is simply trying to live the faith it has practiced for 2000 years.

God invented the family. It takes a father and a mother to create a child. It is sad that the ELCA leadership apparently thinks it knows better than God on how to design the human family.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

From national headquarters on down, the ELCA can be counted on to endorse only the tenets of theology and morality that comport with the doctrine of Sola Feels:
“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.” [https://babylonbee.com/news/progressive-evangelical-leaders-meet-affirm-doctrine-sola-feels/ ]

'Our Rainbow Religion, Which Lets Us Become as Gods'

. . . "How do we become gods in this religion? By obsessively following its core questions. The driving questions in our lives and in our religion have the power to lead our actions and to determine our focus in life.

"There are two questions at the heart of Woke dogmas:
How have I been hurt?. . .
What do I desire? . . .

“Making ourselves gods might feel like magic at first, but it ends in despair. We simply are not made to be gods, and to attempt that requires too much denial of reality, too many mutilated bodies, and too many competing wills.

“Which questions will we ask? What do I will, or what does God will for me? How have I been hurt or how can I serve? Does seeking to know and serve the will of God repressively obscure my identity or reveal it?

“The more committed we are to our power here, the more elusive it becomes. A society of mini-gods each in pursuit of its own power is far more like hell than heaven. In asking the wrong questions we not only misunderstand who God is, we lose entirely who we are. It is important to ask the right ones. At the end of our questions we will arrive somewhere: at either a reckoning or at a reunion.”
