ELCA Publicizes 13-Year-Old 'Transgender Hero'

12/9/2019

6 Comments

 
Last year, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America endorsed transgenderism by having a 12-year-old "transgender" person and his/her advocate mother speak to 31,000 youth at the ELCA Youth Gathering. (See here)  This last week, the ELCA is pushing the transgender narrative by promoting a television show about about this same child, calling him/her the "Marvel's first transgender hero." (See below)

This liberal, Bible-defying, God-mocking denomination is encouraging and celebrating sinful lifestyles.

Attending and financially supporting the ELCA makes it possible for the ELCA to push their sinful agenda and pay professionals to indoctrinate people under the guise of Christianity.

​ELCA pastor Emily Heitzman writes:

@MightyRebekah: You are sooo brave, strong & such an inspiration! Not only R you giving youth the confidence 2 be themselves, but you R also giving adults Iike this 38 yr old bisexual ELCA pastor the confidence to be myself. You truly ARE changing the world! #FaithfullyLGBT pic.twitter.com/QuYgZ3IHoK

Of course, "Rebekah's" mother is heavily promoting her child's show. Below are a couple examples.  "Rebekah's" father is an ELCA pastor.

Pastor Tom Brock had an excellent post about this story.  I will embed it below:

I have NO words for what I am reading-this is the denomination I grew up in and was a part of for about half my life. The downward slide in the last 33 years (when we left the ELCA) has been accelerating at an alarming pace. And the Luther Seminary president is wondering why membership is projected to be 66 thousand in 30 years????? They are poking Almighty God in the eye with this behavior.

Forbidden Lies: Speaking Truth About the Sexes Is Not Optional
-- http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=33-01-003-e

“A man is not a woman and can never become a woman. A woman is not a man and can never become a man. What an offense it is against the beauty showered upon us by the Creator who made us male and female in the beginning, to mutilate the body and mar the face, all in the vain pretense that we can do the impossible! There is no such thing as a “trans-man” or a “trans-woman.” There are only men or women pretending to be what they are not, and insisting that others participate in the pretense or delusion.

. . . “The lie gnaws at the soul, hollowing it out. And what about those who stand by to witness it? They see that you do not really believe what both nature and the word of God say. They conclude that you are a coward, a fool, or a hypocrite. Go evangelize the world that way. Your very children will believe the lie. But God will brook no excuses. “I tell you,” says the Lord, “on the day of judgment men will render account for every idle word they utter” (Matt. 12:36).

Speak the truth, always.”

Feral Sexuality: the Inhuman Transformation of Transgenderism
-- https://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=32-05-015-v

. . . "What is in the offing? Children by incest, confusing the categories of sibling and spouse; children by manufacture, confusing the categories of nature and artifice; the trans-human, in large part already among us as we replace face-to-face encounters with those mediated by machine, confusing the categories of animate and inanimate; "breaking the binary," confusing the categories of being and not-being; and subjecting all things to the dictates of individual wills molded by the machinery of mass phenomena: ants in an anthill, thinking themselves to be gods, and repudiating the Word by whom all things were made.

. . . "Not even diamond is as hard as the heart of man when he has consigned his mind and soul over to sin. In this state only the merciful hand of God will do: to soften that heart in the corrosive bath of his grace. Let it be soon, O Lord. Smite us and save us all."

The fastest growing Lutheran denominations are in Southern Africa and they openly condemn LGBTQ culture in accordance with the Bible. So since the ELCA is doing the opposite, they will surely dissolve. The Lutherans in Tanzania are only on good terms with NALC because NALC is Confessional. Africans are even skeptical of LCMS and the Wisconsin Synod because of their occasional liberalism.

Physical Interventions on the Bodies of Children to “Affirm” their “Gender Identity” Violate Sound Medical Ethics and Should be Prohibited
— https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2019/12/58839/

...”Prudent legislation is needed to prevent adults from interfering with a child’s normal, natural bodily development. “Gender affirmation” procedures violate sound medical ethics. It is profoundly unethical to intervene in the normal physical development of a child as part of “affirming” a “gender identity” at odds with bodily sex. While puberty-blocking drugs may be an appropriate treatment for precocious puberty—the early onset of puberty—in order to delay puberty to a biologically appropriate age, that is not what is going on here. The use of puberty blockers to delay or permanently block natural biological puberty is unethical and violates the rights of children to bodily integrity. Administering cross-sex hormones to minors, in an attempt to make their bodies cosmetically resemble those of the opposite sex or of their preferred “gender identity,” is likewise a violation of sound ethical norms and the rights of minors. Surgically removing genitals or secondary sex characteristics in an effort to “affirm” a “gender identity”—as done to those thirteen-year-old girls who underwent double-mastectomies in taxpayer-funded “research”—is particularly heinous. Governments should prohibit this misuse of medical technology and protect children from these harms.“
