ELCA Magazine Article Says that 2009 Decision to Ordain Practicing Homosexuals was “A Moment of Pure Grace”

8/19/2020

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

In 2009, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to ordain practicing homosexuals, thus violating Scripture and causing the largest church split in American history. Countless people have left this denomination, along with their offerings, and the denomination continues to decline.

At its recent churchwide assembly, the ELCA voted to celebrate and affirm its 2009 decision, in spite of having to close and merge seminaries because of the financial crisis. The below link is an article from the ELCA’s national magazine in which a lesbian pastor rejoices that the ELCA decided to ordain her. The vote “was a moment of pure gospel”. (See link at the bottom of this article)

Rev. Tom Brock

God Himself and His Word are opposed to what the ELCA is doing. The ELCA churchwide assembly even voted down a delegate-by 97%- who tried to affirm that Jesus is the only way of salvation (John 14:6).

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man shows that also he shall reap” (Galatians 6:7).

In Jesus our Savior,

Pastor Tom Brock

The ELCA never gets its adjectives right (or its nouns, verbs, and -- especially -- pronouns, for that matter). Converting the ELCAspeak into truth: "Our decision to ordain practicing homosexuals was a moment of cheap grace."

Martin Luther -- as he does again and again -- sounds a Biblical warning to those who thus far have refused to "receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved." [2 These. 2:10b]

Luther on Galatians 5:16 — “Persisting in sin is disastrous...Those who obey the sinful nature and continue to gratify its desires should know that they don’t belong to Christ. Even though people may label themselves with the name ‘Christian,’ they are only deceiving themselves.” (LW, 27:80)

I’m not a Lutheran, but I have plenty of in-laws that are. But I did leave a very large, corrupt mainline denomination years ago. You leave behind your family heritage to some degree and it can be very difficult. But it is the most freeing experience of your life as you reject a bureaucratic organization full of dogmas and establish a direct relationship with Jesus Christ. Once you leave that dysfunctional binding relationship behind, you see the world much more clearly.

During that time I also tended to be liberal, but now that I see the world much more clearly, I am conservative. I clearly see satan’s hand behind liberalism, Democrats, mainstream media, ELCA, antifa, BLM, communism, Republican rinos. The dots are clearly connected.

I highly recommend everyone listen regularly to the Mark Levin podcast, it is the unvarnished truth. I also highly recommend finding a Bible believing church and have the courage to leave the ELCA behind.
