Gay ELCA Pastor Thinks 'Couples Should Sleep Together Before Marriage'

11/9/2018

The Rev. Emmy R Kegler at Grace Lutheran Church of Northeast Minneapolis,
Minnesota, describes herself as "a queer woman & a Christian pastor, and deeply in love with my fiancée (Doctor Future Wife)."

She tweets this:

I really do think couples should sleep together before marriage.

It's important to establish who in the relationship is the wide eyed golden retriever who CAN'T WAIT TO START THE DAY and who is the grumpy cat that curls further under blankets and needs you to bring her coffee.

This is what the ELCA has become. A denomination where their pastors/leaders reject the clear teaching of God and in this case, are in favor of people sleeping together (having sex) before marriage. (See Hebrews 13:4 to learn what God has to say on this topic, for starters). Seems God's Word is just ignored now in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

ELCA members should ask themselves what their current ELCA pastor believes, and does not believe, when it comes to God's Word? Additionally, contemplate what future pastors in your church family, trained by the ELCA, will believe about God's Word and what they will be teaching the congregation.

The sellout ELCA strikes out again, biblically and sociologically. Fornication (Gr. "porneia" - all "illicit intercourse") is condemned by Jesus and Paul, whom the ELCA doesn't care to hear or heed because it's too fond of basking in the world's praise.

"..since no pastor wants to be seen as old-fashioned, and most want to be modern and appeal to the ubiquitous cult of youth, one never hears much today about the sins of illicit sex. . . . Pastors nowadays are much more likely to couch sexual sins in the form that has been redefined and politicized by radical secular ideology. To disguise their own irrelevance, they join the mob to register their politically correct outrage at “sexual harassment” and “domestic violence.” -- 'Can Christianity survive the Sexual Revolution?' [https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/can-christianity-survive-the-sexual-revolution ]

There's not even a good sociological case to be made for hooking up and shacking up, both of which do much more harm to -- feminism-user-alles ELCAnites would be shocked if they had any capacity for honest introspection -- women.

"The idea that cohabitation is good preparation for marriage is amazingly persistent, considering that it isn’t even close to being true.
Research consistently shows that couples who do cohabit have poorer relationships before marriage, poorer marriages if they do marry, and much higher rates of divorce. . . The evidence is so strong that among family sociologists, the debate is not about *whether* couples who cohabit before marrying have weaker marriages, but *why*.

. . . "For each year that a cohabiting relationship continues, the woman becomes less attractive to the man, but the man becomes more attractive [for financial and status reasons] to other women. The facts are especially cruel to the woman, who is probably hoping that if only she lives with the man long enough, he will marry her. Actually, the longer the two of them cohabit, the more she is placed at disadvantage -- and the more he is likely to want out."

Well, that's paganism for you -- in nine years the ELCA has morphed from a church into a swinger's club. Maybe soon they will replace the "Love is Love" mantra with "Hookups are Holy" or some such lunacy. Is it time yet to re-convene the CWA to send the 2009 social statement down the memory hole?
