The leadership of the ELCA, by invoking their doctrine of bound conscience, continues to lift up, what they call, “new things” that minimize our Lord’s role in their church. “God didn’t literally father Jesus”, “Mary wasn’t really a virgin when she conceived”, and “Jesus wasn’t resurrected in a physical sense.” While these self-proclaimed enlightened scholars attempt to diminish long held Biblical truths, they lift up the things of this world and proclaim, “God’s work, our hands” while their call to bring the world to Christ is largely abandoned. Humankind’s selfish proclivities are celebrated and joyfully proclaimed from the pulpits of ELCA churches and declared as right with God in numerous social statements. While their God is left in the dust, they continue to be obsessed with human sexuality, particularly the crusade to normalize homosexuality, in effect, thumbing their collective noses at God’s commands.

Well, I dunno. My former ELCA parish will soon be having an adult forum led by a male-to-female transsexual who “has heard a call to ministry”, and will be a candidate for the ministry in the ELCA.

That parish had been historically Missouri Synod, and was pretty conservative until only a few years ago. Once I left to become Orthodox, the floodgates opened on the “gay” issue in that parish. (Not necessarily that I was the one who had been restraining this from happening—it was probably a coincidence.)

I’m very glad that I became Orthodox. And all y’all should prayerfully consider becoming Orthodox, too!!!!
