ELCA 'Best of' in 2018 Tweet Includes Presiding Bishop's Quote, 'Human Sexuality and Gender Identity is a Beautiful Mystery'

1/3/2019

Below is a tweet by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. They call it "#bestnine2018." The first picture listed is a statement by ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton saying, "No human institution decides who is human, who is visible, who is valued. Human sexuality and gender identity is a beautiful mystery. Trans people, like all people, are beloved by God."

The ELCA is calling this one of their Best Nine of 2018. Also included in their best nine are two pictures (maybe three) of the atrocious ELCA Youth Gathering where teenagers were indoctrinated with leftist anti-Biblical theology and politics, a bunch of "ELCA votes" buttons, three pictures of candles and a cross picture.

I wonder if the ELCA would apply that same standard to marriage, as in: "No human institution decides what marriage is.... Marriage is a God-ordained institution beautifully revealed in Scripture and confirmed by Jesus. It is not something within the province or authority of the legislature of the state of California, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and it is not subject to "equal protection" arguments of the United States Supreme Court any more than would be the case if blind people were to argue they ought to be allowed driver's licenses as long as those who can actually see are allowed to have them-- equal protection for all."

"Heresies are partial views of the truth, starting from some truth which they exaggerate, and disowning and protesting against other truth, which they fancy inconsistent with it. All heresies are partial views of the truth..." -- John Cardinal Newman

True statements by Bishop Eaton: "No human institution decides who is human, who is visible, who is valued. . . Trans people, like all people, are beloved by God."

Egregiously unbiblical, not even remotely Lutheran, shamefully false statement by Bishop Eaton: "Human sexuality and gender identity is a beautiful mystery."

Disputants against Eaton's false statement:

Jesus: "Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning made them male and female?"

Martin Luther: "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." -- ‘Living as Husband and Wife’ http://www.lutherdansk.dk/Web-Living%20as%20husband%20and%20wife/Living%20as%20husband%20and%20wife.htm
