The Social Media Posts of An ELCA Pastor

2/2/2020

3 Comments

 
Randy Young is a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). In the posts below Rev. Randy Young calls God "She," shares a disturbing quote of John Shelby Spong, declares his support for open borders, posts a cartoon of Jesus attending a Gay Pride parade, addresses abortion, writes of his belief on why Jesus died on a cross, and gives some of his political thoughts.  

​This is what leadership in the ELCA looks like. 

​

​ELCA Rev. Young writes, "Jesus died on a cross to show us what love looks like in action.
Sin is any action which separates us from God. The actions that separate us from God are unloving actions. Jesus came to teach us that the Law was designed to help us avoid those kinds of unloving actions." He then shares an article titled "God Did Not Kill Jesus on the Cross for Our Sins."

Question: Why is it that so many ELCA pastors and bishops constantly resort to citing only politicians, philosophers, pundits, heretics, snarky cartoons and smug memes to peddle their beliefs and practices that are -- not coincidentally -- endorsed by ELCA denominational leaders and the Christ-rejecting world?

Answer: Because the Bible blows their solipsistic, gland-driven, ear-tickling, moralistic therapeutic deism out of the water.

--- Jesus: "No one comes to the Father except through Me." -- "Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

Peter: "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."

Paul: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

--- Jesus: "..out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality [Gr. "porneiai":all "illicit intercourse"].."

Paul:"Flee fornication." --- "Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

--- “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.” -- “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb...” -- “You shall not murder."

Jesus does offer forgiveness . . . to those who repent of their sins.

Jesus: "Repent and believe in the gospel." -- "In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

Peter: "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

It can’t be. Blasphemous statements from and ELCA pastor? I know people who are still in the ELCA. They do not know about this site. Therefore they know nothing about what is happening. I have tried to get the message out.
The congregations that are left in the ELCA are there just “because”. A lot of older people just go to their ELCA church on Sunday and that is all.
ELCA is failing, Soon the ELCA will be gone. Maybe not as soon as readers of this site might like, but it is inevitable.

These “pastors” love to talk about love but never God’s justice. Oh they might babble on about so-called “social justice” but the Bible doesn’t stutter on divine justice. It is flowing off of nearly every page of the Bible. And a just God has every right to condemn an unrepentant sinner. You cant claim to have faith in God if you have no faith in the scriptures HE provided us. Yes, God is a HE, because HE said so in HIS gospels.
