ELCA Supporters

The other day, on my personal facebook page I wrote a message of praise to God because a church, that is near to where I grew up, voted to leave the ELCA.  A facebook “friend” who it seems is an ELCA supporter, responded to my comment saying, "Sounds like you are praising the Devil, not God.”  I challenged his comment and he responded by “unfriending” me.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.  I regularly received comments and emails from ELCA supporters who do not like me or Exposing the ELCA.  Here are a few examples that I have gotten in the last few weeks -

One person responded to my blog about using Ouija boards at an ELCA college (see here) said, “Dont point to the spec in your neighbors eye when there is a log in your own.”  Another person said, “If you've left the ELCA, stop worrying about them. It is not your job to judge, it is God's. Worry about your own business. As a Christian, and a graduate of Concordia College, I am embarrassed for you. And may I just add that the 'devil worshiping, doors of hell opening' haunted house at Concordia was probably a great time, I wish I could have attended.”  That same person also wrote, “Are you guys serious? Do you not have anything better to do with you time other than come up with reasons why the ELCA is a sinful organization? I think you're missing the whole point of the gospel. God loves the world. Done. End of story. Get over yourselves.”  

It’s obvious that most of the ELCA supporters who write to me do not know Scripture.  These people make God in their own image, the way they want Him to be, which means the god they say they know, follow or worship is a false god.  That brings me to this next ELCA supporter:

I’ve been receiving long messages from someone who is very supportive of the ELCA’s acceptance of goddess worship.  (don’t believe me about the ELCA’s involvement and acceptance of goddess worship?  See here)   Check out a few of the things this person has sent Exposing the ELCA -

“Indeed, *herchurch* represents a denomination that God the Father *does* want to see being supported!

You need to understand the position you people have put Heavenly Father into.

He has offered Christianity His Gift of gifts for almost 2,000 years -- the Pearl of pearls, the Supreme Gift in all of Infinity & Eternity that He could give womanity -- and you have turned your back on this Gift of gifts and *refused* Her. You have denounced Her, you have slandered Her, you have degraded Her in your thoughts, you have demonized Her -- indeed, in doing so, you have even *blasphemed* Her -- the *Most* Beloved of Heavenly Father, Who He has loved from *before* the Beginning of the Cosmos unto ForEverAfter, you have *blasphemed* -- She thru Whom all Existence (including the existence of your very *soul*) came into being.” 

And

“You chose to believe your false interpretations of words in a book, edited & canonized by corrupt men with their own political-religious agenda of *controlling* the minds & beliefs of others. You chose this rather than actually pure-heartedly *seeking* Her Holy Spirit in your lives, to teach you "all things".” 

And

“Praise Goddess that Her Spirit is so *alive* into this time! And *thank you* Heavenly Father for deciding that this is *Her* Time to come forth into history in the *Fullness* of Her Spirit, & that so many of us are privileged to be *alive* at this time to witness the beginnings of Your Further Revelations *as* Her.”

This person then quoted a rewrite of the Lord’s Prayer beginning with “Our Mother who art present in all life, in all Loving,
Generatrix of all gods & goddesses, of all living souls
-- holy is Your Essence.”

Not knowing, believing or following Scripture makes one susceptible to many things, including goddess worship.
