"They" (world's first transgender bishop) are asked to step down

5/31/2022

(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

A year ago the very liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America elected the world's first transgender bishop. This is a woman who looks like a man and who wants to be called "they". Now, she (I refuse to say "they") has been asked to step down by the very, very liberal head bishop of the ELCA. You will see in head Bishop Elizabeth Eaton's letter (linked) below, Eaton is very willing to call this singular woman "they". The transgender bishop was not asked to step down because transgenderism denies who God creates people to be, but because she allegedly mishandled a situation with an Hispanic church.

In our sad age of sexual confusion, it is tragic that the ELCA leads the way in confusion by electing a transgender bishop to begin with, and then consistently referring to her as "they".

In Jesus our Savior,

Pastor Tom Brock

PS In September at the transgender bishop's installation service,
Bishop Eaton prayed to the "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" also as "Parent, Child, and Holy Breath" and "Rain, Estuary, and Sea"

At the behest of the world it obeys, the ELCA peddles a profusion of lies. Christians, neither accept those lies nor parrot them as progressive churches and the world demand that you do.

“Live Not by Lies”

Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, courageous Christian and Siberian Gulag prisoner, offered this advice in words hurriedly penned the day of his arrest on Feb. 12, 1974:

“The simplest and most accessible key to our self-neglected liberation lies right here: Personal non-participation in lies. … It is the easiest thing to do for us, but the most devastating for the lies. Because when people renounce lies it simply cuts short their existence. … Let us refuse to say that which we do not think.”

[The honest man]

“Will not henceforth write, sign, or print in any way a single phrase which in his opinion distorts the truth.”

“Will utter such a phrase neither in private conversation nor in the presence of many people, neither on his own behalf nor at the prompting of someone else, either in the role of agitator, teacher, educator, nor in a theatrical role.”

“Will not allow himself to be dragged to a meeting where there can be expected a forced or distorted discussion of a question. Will immediately walk out of a meeting, session, lecture, performance, or film if he hears a speaker tell lies or purvey ideological nonsense or shameless propaganda.”

Jesus couldn’t have been more clear about these groomers when he said if anyone causes any of these little ones to sin, it would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck.

Robert Benne was right ("ELCA Hits Bottom" -- https://www.firstthings.com/article/2018/10/elca-hits-bottom ):
"The revolution will eat its own children. There really is a slippery slope."

The apostate ELCAnites are squaring off against other apostate ELCAnites. And the ELCA's heavy-handed squelching of all dissent against its all-gay-all-the-time activism simply mirrors the iron-fisted tactics of the world and the current administration in the White House:

The New Gay Left, And How ‘Pride’ Became An Angry, Vicious Movement
-- https://thefederalist.com/2022/06/02/the-new-gay-left-and-how-pride-became-an-angry-vicious-movement/

[ . . .]If local parents don’t let boys into little girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, then the feds will make sure the poorest children in their community don’t get the school-provided lunches American taxpayers pay for. As many as 30 million kids use these programs, meaning millions could go hungry.

"In fact, if parents in any way interfere with trans activist’s demands for how local schools should operate, all federal taxpayer support will be cut off.

"Welcome to June — or Pride Month. All of the above are part of the celebration: These plans for schools were announced last Pride Month, and one year later, are poised to go into effect. So very festive.

"The changes in the gay activist left’s targets and in their aggression have been building for years now. Long gone are the days of gay pride as a movement that claims it’s for inclusion, acceptance, and self-esteem. While the gay activist movement always fought for a hard shift from traditional, Christian values on things like marriage, these days June 1 marks the start of a month of targeted campaigns to force submission to left-wing policies often far afield from even the radical goals of America’s first gay activists. . . .
