They finally took over the ELCA.

I understand the new ELCA bible will feature "Adam and Steve".

The Lutherans have become another pagan sect. There is nothing Christian or Lutheran about them. I'm glad my Lutheran mother isn't around to see this assault on Christian faith.

This is why I and my family left the Lutheran church in 2000. We attended a very conservative church active in the breakaway movement, but I could see the handwriting on the wall.

It’s very sad. Luther would, at the very least, be appalled at his spiritual “heirs”...

The ELCA may be but the LCMS(Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) is still very traditional.

"The Church ... has just said 'Do not do punishments'," said Phil Soucy, spokesman for Lutherans Concerned, a gay-lesbian rights group within the church. "That is huge."

And Satan has a huge, satisfied, "We won again!" smile on his face and there is much rejoicing in Hell.

There are no moral absolutes. To quote the Bible, "every man does what is right in his own eyes."

If so, then bye, bye. It's why we left the ELCA for the LCMS. If we have to move again, so be it.

I have not left the church - the church left me.

The termites are burrowing into the foundations of the LCMS, quite openly over the past four decades. I anticipate they will make much more rapid progress very soon, due to recent elections and other convention decisions.

A homosexual clergy cost the Catholics $2 billion in damages. Are the Lutherans blind to that expensive lesson? Blinder still to the Biblical abominations against homosexuality!

I left the ELCA after writing to Bishop Anderson (waaaay back) about the church ordaining homosexuals. That turd burglar told me to live in “obedience under protest”. I left for the LCMS and took my tithe money with me.

If they (LCMS) decide to go the same way (I do see the writing on the wall) I’ll leave again.

The ELCA leadership is steeped in sodomy, apparently.

To hell with them...

Leviticus 18:22, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

1 Kings 14:24, “And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.”

1 Kings 15:11-12, “And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.”
