As always, don’t confuse the ELCA with true Lutheranism.

Can you say apostate?

While they are at it they can hire strippers of both sexes, bring in lots of alcohol & drugs, and have everyone get naked and share the love among each other. That will have them there 7 days a week I’m sure.

I don’t think it’s very newsworthy if an ELCA congregation abandons the Bible. — much or most of ELCA did that years ago already

Christ the No Longer King Here Church.

Come out, LCMS still preaches the gospel.

If they stopped preaching the Gospel in my church the “tithers” would be running out the door OR running off the pastor(s) OR both.

The ELCA’s insurance plans cover its employees’ abortions, which the denomination has been fine with for decades. Everything else about this church is a postscript.

"As always, don't confuse the ELCA with true Lutheranism."

Ditto that. The ELCA is apostate.

I was in the french quarter a few years ago when reformed Lutherans we’re having a big jamboree

Felt like Berkeley

Helmet head old women in Birkies

Shiney faced pale utes

Grumpy old men in sandals with socks

When "having members" becomes more important than "saving members", God will remove his blessing from the church for certain. I just hope it happens quickly and definitively, and that the flock is able to find a good old fashioned God-fearing church to turn to.

Another Marcion of Sinope heresy. Hey, this screwball pastor isnt doing anything new or innovative — he’s nearly 2,000 years behind the times. And of course sadly, very sadly misleading his flock

The original Martin Luther would be unable to recognize what they now call “Lutheran” churches.

Most assuredly the original Jesus wouldn’t know this heretical pastor (Luke 13:27)
