ELCA Pastor Posts That Jesus, Buddha and Mohammad Taught the Same Message

12/5/2016

Here is another example of the Scripturally ignorant, false teaching pastors the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has placed in ELCA congregations.

Karen K. Torrez is a pastor in the ELCA. She posted this cartoon on her Facebook page.

There is a lot wrong with the cartoon the ELCA pastor posted. Those reading it could deduct false doctrines:
- all of the "gods" of other religions are equal to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- belief in Christ is not necessary.
- all religious teachings are the same.
- all religions point to the same god.
- "love" is what is most important.
- Mohammad was about "love."

...To name a few.

The ELCA allows pastors who believe this evil garbage to pastor in their denomination.

Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him in your house and do not give him a greeting: for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deed. - 2 John 9-11

this cartoon is the really plain explaination
of why the ELCA has lost over 1300 congregations...close to 1.6 million members...probably a conservative count...and why they have been broken from communion with the African Lutheran church

The Ethiopians Lutherans (Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus) fled from fellowship with the ELCA in 2013. [https://juicyecumenism.com/2013/02/15/ethiopian-lutherans-break-with-the-evangelical-lutheran-church-in-america/ ]

In 1959 the Mekane Yesus church had 20,000 members. At the end of 2015, it had 7.9 million. Its annual growth rate is estimated at 15 percent.

When asked why the church has grown so dramatically, one EECMY pastor responded, “Commitment to proclaiming the Gospel from the leadership down, strong commitment to prayer and strong tithing by the people no matter what they have."

How refreshingly, biblically different from the member-hemorrhaging ELCA.

The true sign of a Universalist in ELCA robe is when they post a cartoon that misspells "Christian", but correctly spells Muhammad and Buddha.

Hmmm.... So is this another ELCA example that all roads lead to the same destination no matter which direction you go!

I walked away from the ELCA two years ago and it's only become worse since then. The large, wealthy suburban congregation I left is bleeding members. Trying to decide between LCMS and a nondenominational church.

Look at LCMC or NALC. Not just splinter groups anymore, the LCMC has grown to be the 4th Lutheran body (3rd largest Bible confessing) in the country.

As modern liberal Protestant churches have become just liberal social clubs with a religious theme, they have moved far away from actually teaching Christian theology. To them, the 10 commandment are some good guidelines to live by. They talk about love and charity, but don't really understand or believe in most traditional Christian beliefs.
As you have recorded many times here, the ELCA is kind of an "anything goes" church. Their leaders and pastors are using the church to promote their liberal secular views.

Notice that the pic excludes Muhammad. Guess she didn't want to lose her head.

Chapter 3,748 in the Unitarian Universalization of the Erstwhile Lutheran Church in America, in which Jesus is Avatar, a firebrand Social Justice Warrior fighting against the Establishment and showing us all how to contend for every world-approved cause that's also included in the Democrat Party platform.

"Ephraim is joined to idols. Let him alone."

The ELCA in North Carolina synod for the most part is Confessionally strong and liturgically high church. The above mentioned pastor would not be ordained and the bishop would recommend that the seminary flunk her in all of her classes/

Actually, Muhammad WAS a Muslim, self-declared. And he was a military commander, so exactly what kind of love did he preach?
