Furthermore, these false teachers preached thousands of sermons, wrote hundreds of books and penned scores of nonsexist translations of the Bible in order to inform and reprogram what they perceived to be the misinformed, misguided and biblically inept laity. In all these efforts, their number one message was, and remains, this— “The Bible does not mean what it says; it means what we say it means.”
Today deceived church members and their liberal leadership are no longer standing on the solid, immovable rock of Scripture where the Reformers once stood, instead they are wallowing in the quicksand of their own deluded reasoning. Thankfully, a faithful remnant has broken their ties with the compromising branch of the church, in order to uphold Reformation truths and the historic Lutheran doctrine regarding the infallibility of God’s Word.
At least some—if not many—of the bogus theologizers in ELCA seminaries also know why the holy Orthodox Orthodox Church is the Church of the Apostles, and continues as the true Christian Church today.
But they make NOT ONE MOVE to lead their flocks back to Orthodoxy, nor to convert to the Orthodox Church themselves. Oh, no—they would NEVER accept the truth of Scripture and Orthodox Tradition for themselves—NEVER repent with prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and Holy Confession, and NEVER abandon their dear “gay” and feminists movements!!!!
Instead, they labor under the delusion that their feminist-infiltrated theologies are more “orthodox” than the Orthodox. In some cases, very liberal ELCA theologians call themselves “evangelical catholics”, to the despair of both real evangelical catholics and Roman Catholics and Orthodox.
Just because you worship using a “high” liturgy with incense (based on the ELCA’s new red book, of course), and teach a Boston College-influenced theology as “more orthodox than the Orthodox”, that does not make you either evangelical catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, or even Christian.
Blind guides, use what you REALLY know, and above all REPENT!!!!
