In August of 2001 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) established a "Full Communion Partnership" with the Presbyterian Church USA through the adoption of the "Formula of Agreement" with three Reformed denominations.

Therefore:



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!

“Slavic deity”...” in the Baltic region”

The Balts aren’t Slavs. The Slavs aren’t Balts. Although there are now Slavic minorities living in the Baltic states.

Well, Martin Luther was a vicious anti-Semite so this doesn’t shock me.

Glad they specified the particular Presbyterian denomination... this is why Christians are fleeing them in droves.

No worries. When the church is converted into a mosque about 50 years from now, this Sviatovid idol will be thrown in the trash. And any complicit Presbyterians still around will be beheaded.

See? Things always work out okay in the end.

It should not surprise anyone that these heretics have come to embrace neo paganism.

Christ just isn’t good enough for them but a creepy idol someone dug up of a long-forgotten religion will do just fine!

Read Ezekiel 22 not long before this thread.

It should be scary, terrifying actually, for those helping it along where this falling away / apostasy is taking the nation. But unlike coal miners whose canary has died they neither take notice but celebrate instead.

My parents were avoiding the ELCA long before it existed: LCA + ALC.

A slavic God from the Baltic region? The guy is mixing up his peoples.

Belts are Latvians and Lithuanians

And the statue was found in the Ukraine, far from the Baltics

Soviet means light or world in different slavic tongues.

Peron means lightning

The slavic gods were very primitive versions of indo European gods. The hight in philosophy among I do European religions is Brahmanuc Hinduism.

Perun had his analogies in Thir / Zeus pitar/ Jupiter/ indra who were all chief gods. So the primitive indo European peoples really revered lightning or rather feared it.
