ELCA transgender pastor on national TV says the Bible was not written for today

​
​The below liberally biased “report” from CBS-TV interviews a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This is a woman who presents herself as a man. She is married to another woman and both are pastors in the ELCA.

She, I refuse to say “he“, tells the world that the Bible was not written for today. This is a convenient way to get around the fact that the Bible says God made us male and female.
For those with open eyes, the below clip from CBS Mornings seems more like an infomercial of why everyone should leave the ELCA.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

And yet another ELCA impastor firmly ensconces herself as her own god, sitting in judgment on every portion of Scripture that reproaches her opinions, rebukes her lifestyle, and exposes her favorite sins.

** "We Are All Made In The Image Of God, Not Made Into It"
-- https://thefederalist.com/2023/04/05/we-are-all-made-in-the-image-of-god-not-made-into-it/

". . .every person walking this earth is a creation of God, made after the likeness of the Creator, who loves each soul and longs that they may return to His righteous and loving care. But it’s equally apparent that the cult of transgenderism seeks not to celebrate that sacred image but to distort and blaspheme it.

"By its very nature, transgenderism tells a confused person that his bodily creation was a mistake and the inventions of man are necessary to counteract the 'deficiencies' of God. In defiance of the divine proclamation that 'male and female He created them,' the alphabet sexual ideology that’s infected American institutions finds countless ways to reject the naturally created order of an orderly God. Rather than respect individuals as embodied vessels housing precious souls, transgender ideology encourages so-called doctors to hack and drug the bodies of even young children into physically deformed shells of their former selves."

** Martin Luther joins the defense of the Bible against the ELCA:

'Living as Husband and Wife'
-- http://www.lutherdansk.dk/Web-Living%20as%20husband%20and%20wife/Living%20as%20husband%20and%20wife.htm

"In the first part we shall consider which persons may enter into marriage with one another. In order to proceed aright let us direct our attention to Genesis 1 [:27], “So God created man . . . male and female he created them.” From this passage we may be assured that God divided mankind into two classes, namely, male and female, or a he and a she. This was so pleasing to him that he himself called it a good creation [Gen. 1:31]. Therefore, each one of us must have the kind of body God has created for us. I cannot make myself a woman, nor can you make yourself a man; we do not have that power. But we are exactly as he created us: I a man and you a woman. Moreover, he wills to have his excellent handiwork honored as his divine creation, and not despised. The man is not to despise or scoff at the woman or her body, nor the woman the man. But each should honor the other’s image and body as a divine and good creation that is well‑pleasing unto God himself."


** When satire unerringly hits the ELCA right between the eyes:

'ELCA Lutherans Clarify Any Similarities To Beliefs Of Martin Luther Are Purely Coincidental'
-- https://babylonbee.com/news/elca-lutherans-clarify-any-similarity-to-beliefs-of-martin-luther-are-purely-coincidental

… "We are a church that is deeply rooted in always being made new, in an eternal spring of mind-renewal that forever blossoms into transformative ways of ethereal mystic knowing, just like immigrant Jesus said when he was marching for the reproductive rights of drag queens," the ELCA's official statement read. "Any similarity to the teaching of scripture or Martin Luther is not intended and purely coincidental."

The statement continued, "People have this misunderstanding that because we have ‘Lutheran' in the name that means we believe what Martin Luther believed on subjects like sin, repentance, Scripture, and all the rest. We're pretty sure that if Martin Luther could see what we are doing now with his name on the church building, he would barf. LOL." . . .

The answer to the question of the interviewer given by this Apostate is “ Yes, God made Man, & Woman, & Everyone Else.” . Apparently this persons view of “Everyone else” seems to be whatever the perverted mind of some Wish “ Everyone Else” to be. It amazes me how some people can take the teachings of God Almighty & Twist things around to fit their own beliefs. In the mean time, God, our Creator, & Savior, watches, & waits.

What makes the ELCA's heresies and apostasies so dangerous is that they have eternal consequences. The ELCA is propelling people toward hell. Martin Luther is biblically clear on the danger of false churches: [on Genesis 19:24-25] “Arrogant and stubborn people despise the Word of God and laugh at well-intentioned words of caution…We must guard against this false teaching. It’s not enough for these people to bring destruction on themselves. They intend to drag us down with them. Like the people of Sodom, they don’t realize that their sins will soon be punished.”(LW, 3:239)

"Progressivism is a stench within the church and parachurch that denigrates biblical promises by filtering them through the world’s values. And while it hates almost all faithful biblical doctrine, it seems to have particular ire for the doctrine of repentance unto life, that saving grace 'by which a sinner, being truly aware of his sinfulness understands the mercy of God in Christ, grieves for and hates his sins, and turns from them to God, fully intending and striving for a new obedience.'" (Westminster Shorter Catechism, Question 87).

Rosaria Butterfield writes about how progressivism hates repentance, eroding the Gospel’s power to transform.

So many deceived and not even knowing it. When we go beyond the bounds of Scripture and please ourselves, things just don't go well......

I found the final response given by the transgendered "pastor" to the interviewer's question, "What do you say to those who felt burned by the church or religion" to be quite true!

She responded, ". . .you are good! You are so good! And you don't need the Church to tell you that!"

Yep. We need the Church to tell us we are not good! Otherwise, it is useless!

More disinformation from a demonic front group masquerading as a church.

ELCA is again on the wrong side of history. Parents are sick of having their daughters being forced to share locker rooms with trannies. Not to mention the concussions, broken eye sockets and other injuries incurred by competing in sports with biological men.
