Why do you say that the Evangelical church of America is not Christian? Their website says The ELCA confesses the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In our preaching and teaching the ELCA trusts the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.

And it has 3.5 million Christians among its adherents

The ELCA is an extremely liberal branch of Christianity, so bad as to not even be Christian. What their statement of belief says and what they do are worlds apart.

Yes, but, what a tangled WEB they weave when they deceive through what they preach!

Why do you lie about what other poster's write? The poster did not write that and you know it.

Cronos agenda seems to be to attack Evangelicals by any means necessary. Deceit (something abhorred by God) is definitely one of Cronos primary tools. Which says a lot about where his heart truly is.

The front page of their website says the following:

"Resources for the LGBTQIA+ community
This is Christ's church. There is a place for you here. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person."

They accept homosexuality without repentance. According to 1 Thess 4:1-8, the ECLA has rejected God. Many churches call themselves 'Christian', but their definition of 'Christian' has nothing to do with Christ.

"Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit." 1 Thess 4:1-8

What the ELCA does is a lot different than what they say. Where have you been the last 10 years? You nee to do a little research and see what an apostate denomination they are.
