Exposed ELCA Social Media Blog

Sexual abuse is evil, sinful and wrong but God does forgive those who seek forgiveness. This ELCA bishop should know that and not even hint that people can not find forgiveness for any of their sins.

I just have to say it: the evil of sexual abuse by someone of greater power toward someone weaker is as close to unforgivable as it gets. #IBelieveHer

ELCA bishop Jim Hazelwood, of the New England Synod, is outspoken in his support of LGBTQ issues. God tells us in scripture it is a sin that one should not participate in, but that is of no concern with the ELCA.

This is the most amazing Moth hour. First story on Family will change you. If you ever questioned the whole LGBTQ □️‍□ FAMILY, you won’t after this episode. Love is Love is Love. Beautiful https://t.co/dBVhG7nLGc

More Than Two Genders?

10/30/2018

Lefty ELCA Pastor Jason Chesnut, co-creator of multiple vile "devotionals" (see here) seems to be saying there are more than two genders with his retweet. Science and truth are your friend, Rev. Chesnut.

Disturbing Posts By ELCA Campus Pastor Elizabeth Rawlings

10/28/2018

ELCA pastor Elizabeth Rawlings is an ELCA campus pastor at the University of Washington. She has a lot to say about almost every topic that the liberal left cares about. It kind of scares me. We will start this off with something Rev. Rawlings shared that seems to be saying there is no eternal hell.

Here are some more disturbing posts by this ELCA pastor:

Be sure to catch these quotes -

"If you want to take this further, as you breathe, imagine there is a light shining somewhere outside of you. Feel the light shine on your body. Feel its warmth. That light is love/God/spirit/creatrix. Breathe it in. Fill your body with the light and love of that which made you."

"If your cosmology allows for it, picture yourself surrounded by Jesus, ancestors, Angels, guiding spirits, a cloud of witnesses, (whatever works for the way you walk in the world) all holding you and keeping you safe." (See here also)

Reproductive health care is important Rev. Rawlings and she seems (see below) to be supportive of Planned Parenthood.

Rev. Rawlings shared this Facebook post by Linda Tirado.

ELCA Bishop Writes of 'White Nationalist Anti-Immigration folks'

10/26/2018

Bishop Michael Rinehart of the ELCA's Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod often spouts his political and social justice opinions online. Yesterday he wrote about the migrant caravan heading to the United States saying, "There are no terrorists in the caravan,.." Of course he has no way to know this.

The bishop continues, "...though the white nationalist anti-immigration folks want you to think so."

This is the state of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

ELCA Leader Calls on Franklin Graham 'to Repent of His Idolatry'

10/25/2018

ELCA Rev. Joelle Colville-Hanson is the Director for Evangelical Mission for the Northeastern Iowa Synod. Rev. Joelle spends a lot of time on Twitter. Over the last 9 years she has tweeted over 36,000 times. She is a social justice warrior (SJW), seems very angry, a vocal leftist and a perfect example of the kind of leaders the Evangelical Lutheran Church is employing.

Last month ELCA Rev. Joelle Colville-Hanson, in all of her wisdom, tweeted this to Franklin Graham.

(See here)

Remember, she is employed by the ELCA, which has turned against the clear teaching of Scripture and historic Christianity to side with abortion, encouraging sexual sin, preaching universalism, not evangelizing, teaching the Bible is a book of myths, standing against Israel, etc. I pray she and all ELCA leaders will repent of their faith and soul destroying ways.

Taking God's Name in Vain

10/19/2018

This is simply false. A lie. Using God's name as a cuss word is taking "the Lords name in vain." Joelle Colville Hanson is an ELCA pastor who works at an ELCA synod.

ELCA Synod Bishop on the NFL

10/19/2018

Sounds like ELCA Bishop Jim Hazelwood supports players kneeling during the national anthem.

I’ll be boycotting watching the @NFL this coming year due to their unpatriotic position not allowing players to express their patriotic right to protest. @Patriots Sorry. Bye Bye □

Unbecoming of a Christian Leader

10/15/2018

Bishop Jim Hazelwood should know misappropriation when he sees it, being he is in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, who using this technique often to do things that go against God's Word. Don't miss the vile language used by this supposed minister of Christ.

The misappropriation of Jesus and his faith by this administration is just plain horseshit - I was thinking of going subtle with my approach. How am I doing?

Bishop on Immigrants

10/14/2018

Jim Hazelwood, the ELCA's New England Synod Bishop, presents a skewed view of Scripture and is manipulating it to try and fit it into the refugee situation happening in the United States.

For the last three days I’ve been posting Bible verses to show that this Book has a 1,000 year call on the side of the immigrant, the outcast & the orphan. And that those who use sacred texts to justify their views to the contrary are WRONG!
— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) June 21, 2018

The Bible was written by a people who were on the receiving end of opprsession, and dominance. If you read it without that awareness, you miss, oh say, about 98% of its message.
— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) July 12, 2018

If we are going to quote the Bible on a policy issue, how about opening up the WHOLE book instead of just the one verse that justifies your own thinking.

ELCA Bishop Retweets Race Based Tweet to Conservative Evangelicals

10/9/2018

ELCA New England Synod Bishop, Jim Hazelwood retweeted the below tweet. It seems to be saying that conservative evangelicals are racists. I wonder what he thinks about conservatives who are still members in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America?

BTW, the Jewish people have a variety of skin tones. God's Word does not tell us the color of Jesus' skin.

See the bishop's Twitter page here. Go to his retweet made Sept. 20, 2018.

ELCA Pastor Says Patriarchy, Homophobia and Transphobia are heresy

10/8/2018

From ELCA pastor Lenny Duncan. I wonder if calling someone something they are not is a sin in Rev. Duncan's eyes.

ELCA Related News on Judge Kavanaugh

10/4/2018

The ELCA is a member of the National Council of Churches (NCC). This week the NCC released a statement saying, "The National Council of Churches (NCC) calls for the withdrawal of the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States. We believe he has disqualified himself from this lifetime appointment and must step aside immediately." (See here)

See “'Massive' National Council of Churches Arises!" for more information.

Also on that topic, New England Synod Bishop Jim Hazelwood tweeted this:

Yet another example why the #ELCA ⁦@ELCA⁩ should drop the E. I get the historical reasons why, but it’s a whole new world now. We are NOT that kind of Evangelical pic.twitter.com/Pnag8DbnKS
— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) September 20, 2018

And this from an ELCA pastor -

Dear Senator @TomCottonAR I plead with you not to to place Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. We can do better. https://t.co/GWUVsyDnJ5

And from this ELCA pastor -

Do you renounce Kavanaugh, this Administration, Patriarchy, and all the forces that defy God?

Response:
I renounce them.

Do you renounce the powers of this world that rebel against God and place vulnerable... https://t.co/a3XCVnKvKt

And this tweet from an ELCA pastor -

And he’s appeared on live television to promise he didn’t assault anybody; and penned an op-ed to say he didn’t mean it when he freaked out in real-time.

What an astonishing disgrace. https://t.co/tc4xFc1gfA

ELCA Bishop Calls President Trump A Moron, Destructive, Ignorant and Dishonest

9/21/2018

You pay the ELCA leadership's salary. It is time to stop do so for those that advocate a political position that is in opposition to yours. Here some examples by ELCA New England Synod bishop Jim Hazelwood:

Now that @SenJohnMcCain is gone will anyone in the @GOP have the guts to stand up to this destructive, ignorant and dishonest president?
— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) September 4, 2018

This President is such a moron
— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) April 12, 2018

Donald and the super models are the #GOP nominee for president. Omg pic.twitter.com/WAYLC5xZle
— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) May 4, 2016

I'd call the bishop's comment disrespectful to women. And what God-fearing Christian leader would use the acronym "Omg?"
