I’m not surprised to see this happening in the land of fruits and nuts.

Better looking than U.S. Undersecretary of Health Dr. Richard (Dickless) aka “Rachel” Levine.

I’m assuming the ELCA membership is sinking lower than whale sh*t?

This is so hard to square, just with Christian tradition all the back to the beginning, much less scriptural Christianity. Why don’t these churches just admit they are no longer “Christian” churches?

Do I think Christians should have compassion and sympathy for the person who obtains an identity dysphoria manifest in an errant obsession that denies their biological sex? Yes.

But that compassion and sympathy, from others to the individual, to me is not appropriately extended to acceptance of their obsession as anything less than like an addict being given what satisfies their addiction instead of the tools to fight their way out of the addiction. That is not compassion or sympathy. It’s denial.

And worse, acceptance all the way to a “Christian” leadership position for someone who has not conquered the demons of such an obsession? No. Surely not.

So it’s a cult, not a church. Got it.

The pastor’s pronouns are ”they, their, them.”

“My name is Legion, for we are many.”

Heard tonight on Mark Levin that the Presbyterian church USA is embracing Critical Race Theory.

MARANATHA LORD! Get me outta here!

Eunuch priesthood is an older institution than Christianity.

At the 2001 Convention of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), delegates approved [706 to 343] Resolution 3-21A (Proceedings, p. 142), which resolved, "That the 2001 synodical convention affirm the late President Alvin L. Barry’s judgment that ‘we cannot consider them [the ELCA] to be an orthodox Lutheran church body’."

As the 2009 ELCA Church Wide Assembly wrapped up their meeting which had approved ordaining active homosexuals two days earlier, on Friday, August 21, 2009, Rev. Matthew Harrison, (LCMS President since 2010) answered a question from Rev. Todd Wilken (at 9:46) on the Issues, Etc radio program:

Wilken: “Is apostasy too strong a word to describe what we’ve watched over the last — better part — of the decade that culminates this afternoon in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America?”

Harrison: “No, it is apostasy. There’s no way around it. It gives me great pain to say that, but there’s no other word for it.”

In its 2012 “Response” to the ELCA’s 2009 decision to recognize “homosexual marriage,” the LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations stated (p. 21): "The ELCA has now taken this step, embodying apostasy from the faith once delivered to the saints."

Thus the ELCA organization has been recognized by the LCMS as neither Lutheran nor Christian. The XXXA is a tool of Satan.

Oh, no! Not Megan Rohrer!!!! She’s an absolute freak!!!!

And she defeated Jeff Johnson, who is a mere “gay male”! I guess that he isn’t QUEER enough for this “synod”!

This whole deranged, deluded, and demon-possessed crew is trying to do the same thing to the Orthodox Church in leftist areas, with much less success. Perhaps we need to unleash our best exorcists—first on any wayward Orthodox communities, and then on the Lutherans!!!!

Perhaps some of the Lutherans—once they are healed of their delusions—will want to become Orthodox catechumens!!!! Lord have Mercy!!!!

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!!!!
