ELCA Lutheran Obsession with Advocating for the LGBT Movement....Five Articles in One Month Promoting Transgenderism and Homosexuality

8/2/2018

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

If you go to the Advocacy Facebook page of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America you will see how obsessed the ELCA has become with the LGBTQIA+ movement. Within one month five different LGBT Lutheran leaders have been highlighted in articles like the below of a transgender clergy candidate. Of course, not one article features someone who upholds the traditional, Biblical viewpoint on these issues. In 2009 when the ELCA voted to ordain practicing homosexuals it was agreed that all views on homosexuality would be respected in the ELCA, but they are not. No view but the liberal one is mentioned anymore. One by One Ministry, a conservative group which helps people out of homosexuality and of which I am a part, inquired about buying an ad in Living Lutheran but was refused.

The rest of the ELCA Advocacy Facebook page is devoted to article after article on liberal politics. Sadly, preaching Christ for the salvation of the lost is conspicuously absent.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

In my mind, the ELCA is not a church denomination anymore. It is a far-left activism group packaged and marketed in a thin, cheap wrapper of dumbed-down, heretical quasi-spirituality.

As the Bible-repudiating competition accelerates, the ELCA keeps vying with the PCUSA, UCC, and Episcopal churches to see who'll reach extinction first.

. . . "Or, perhaps you’ve heard phrases like “cafeteria Christian” — the term for Christians who pick and choose the church doctrines they’ll obey, typically rejecting those most out-of-step with contemporary secular morality.

. . ." that’s exactly how many millions of Christians live their lives. They pick and choose their doctrines and bend like reeds in the wind in the face of moral pressure. So a Christian student group that holds strong in the face of campus pressure to open itself to non-Christian leadership often faces Christian hostility from people who’ve already made their considerable compromises with modern culture.

"In reality, however, cafeteria Christianity is the path to religious extinction. The Jenga tower will always ultimately fall. Why? Because each assertion of human will over Christian command is an assertion of human authority over divine will. It is a statement of man’s supremacy over God. And when man is supreme, why worship God?

"We see this truth in the precipitous collapse of America’s mainline denominations — those churches that have thoroughly compromised traditional Christian doctrine in the name of “inclusivity.” The American population is growing, yet once-powerful denominations like the Episcopal Church, the United Churches of Christ (Barack Obama’s denomination), and the Presbyterian Church USA are shrinking. Some are on pace to virtually disappear in our lifetimes."

heh-heh. Again these comments are spot on! I graduated from Christ Seminary-Seminex in the 1980s and continue to see this "New Lutheran Church" as it once upon a time was called, disintergrate right before my eyes. Sad it is.
