Evangelical Lutheran Church calls to stop U.S. aid to Israel
Israel National News ^ | 8/15/16 | Ben Ariel

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has approved a resolution calling on the American government to end all aid to Israel if Israel does not stop building in Judea and Samaria and "enable an independent Palestinian state", JTA reported Sunday.

Voting at its triennial assembly in New Orleans that ended Saturday, the church also sought a halt to all investment in companies that profit from Israel's alleged “occupation” and called on the president of the United States to recognize the “State of Palestine.”

You sort of get the feeling they haven’t read their Bibles.

Wasn’t that founded as a Soviet front organization?

They are not Lutheran, they are not evangelical.

They are liberal in theology and politics.

After Obama left Rev. Wright's church, he attended ELCA churches.

ELCA settles many displaced persons from the Middle East into the Middle West, USA.

Now it appears they are antisemitic.

The Evangelical Lufauxran “Church” in America is a liberal religious organization.

The conservative Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has referred to the ELCA (more accurately XXXA) as “embodying apostasy.”

True. Read the first 10 books of the Bible, it is a constant Struggle for Israel to hold land; there is constant warfare and continues to this day but not with the Philistines or Samaria, or the Syrians, but with sects such as this that call themselves “Christian,” but are utter fools.

Which is why so many are going over to the Missouri Synod.

Evangelical Lutheran Church...

Those are the faggot "lutherans".

If you want real Lutherans, go to the Missouri Synod.

They are not Lutheran, they are not evangelical.

They are about as "Lutheran" as the Westboro Baptist Church are Baptists....or even Christians for that matter.

it looks like I am going to be quitting the ELCA. I was raised in that church but in the last 20 years it has been hijacked by those that have a political agenda rather then a religious agenda. I just wonder what mental gymnastics the leadership does to decide boycotting Israel is proper. I cant see myself going Missouri senate. I just will have to look at other denominations.

After they persecute the Jews, they will begin persecuting real Christians.

Don’t tell Jews where they can live on their own land. Oh, by the way “Lutherans”. Go back to Germany.

Nazis controlling a “church” -— an abomination to the Lord if there ever was one! Anyone in that “church” ( who can’t repair it from inside, and few ever can) needs to run run run to a real honest legitimate church praying to ( and guided by) the one true God. ASAP! ( pcusa too). What a crying shame - and to think we let Nazis/ islamonazis/ commies infiltrate our country, our colleges, our government , our mass media, and some of our churches and synagogues too. We are indeed in very deep doo doo.

The ELCA is losing it. They lost a lot of members years ago when they approved gay pastors. Now they want to abandon Israel. They do need to read their Bibles.

I am sure you are right. It is surely true they need to drop evangelical from their name too.

“They do need to read their Bibles.”

They believe the Bible contains errors, lies, and myths. It is just another book to them.
