The more things change, the more they remain the same. Maybe worse.

Pretty sure God said homosexuality was wrong and Israel is His chosen.
Maybe these people have a different Bible than I do.

Just how were you expecting the followers of that vile heretic Luther to ultimately behave. They behave and believe the neo pagan nonsense of their barbarian ancestors.

It is sad to see a church turn from the Truth and accept the lie and unrepentant inclusiveness is a lie.

I do not understand why they continue to refer to the ELCA as a “church”. It is a liberal cult.

It is not up to me to decide for people what they can believe , as long as they do not hurt others.

If they want to believe God destroyed Sodom just for the fun of it, that does not harm me.

It’s a religious cult that tell me I have to belong or be a slave or killed that I am against.

We all know what that is, and calling it a religion of peace is horse manure.

ELCA = magic marker religion. Just bring the magic marker to church with you and cross out the verses of Scripture that you don’t like.

Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

Comment by Rev. Richard Johnson on ALBP regarding the election:

One of the handful of orthodox bishops put it this way:
"Realistically speaking, she's the best we could have hoped for."

"The best..."???

KYRIE ELEISON!

“Bishop Eaton thanked the GLBT people and their friends and families who had patiently endured their second-class status within the church for so long.”

Taking Pope Francis’ lead no doubt. And the homosexual
agenda marches on.

E.L.C.A.
Tune: “Y.M.C.A.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k

“Luth’ran”
Doesn’t mean quite the same
As what you’ve been
Taught to know by that name.
We’re removin’
All the scandal and shame
Of a church that stands for something.

Luth’ran,
No, you’re not misinformed,
Yes, it’s true now,
We commune the Reformed.
No forced union
Made us bow or conform,
Just a warm and fuzzy feeling.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
We have women in black,
Now there’s no turning back
To the hang-ups of dead white guys.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
You can set yourself free
From dead orthodoxy,
You can do whatever you please.

Luth’ran,
Won’t you please come along
To the Elca,
Where’s there’s no right or wrong.
In the Elca,
Heretics can belong,
They can teach at seminary.

“Luth’ran,”
But our fingers were crossed,
All our doctrine
Has been totally lost.
All that’s Luth’ran
Is what we have embossed
On our cards and stationery.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
We have women in black,
Now there’s no turning back
To the hang-ups of dead white guys.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
You can set yourself free
From dead orthodoxy,
You can do whatever you please.

Elca,
Where it’s very uncouth
And unwelcome
To say you have the truth
And where seldom
Is a word ever heard
To discourage sin or error.

Elca,
Where it’s all shades of gray,
I said, Elca,
Where it’s hip to be gay.
Our umbrella
Is as big as a tent,
There’s no need for you to repent.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
We have women in black,
Now there’s no turning back
To the hang-ups of dead white guys.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
You can set yourself free
From dead orthodoxy,
You can do whatever you please. . . .

I am also sorry to report that the church adopted, by an overwhelming majority, a new “Social Statement on Criminal Justice” found here: http://blogs.elca.org/assemblynews/post/assembly-adopts-the-church-and-criminial-justice-hearing-the-cries-16

To for such a statement to pass they have to believe the Lefts lie of rampant racism in this country. As a member I’m very disappointed.

It is clear the “L” in ELCA stands for liberal.
