So... no longer Lutheran?
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
This won’t end well.
“So... no longer Lutheran?”
Who has the Lutheran Ping? I want some Lutherans or even ex ones to come in and answer that question!
This sound smore like a Unitarian church than any Lutheran church I ever visited.
Astrology, really? Also known as Flat Earth astronomy. Only the most foolish of fools believe astrology.
Marin Luther would have hammer in hand
Not only no but hell no not a Lutheran church in any form.
No longer Christian.........................
It reminds me of what Ezekiel saw when he was told to dig through the side of the Temple and report what he saw there.
Then the order went out to mark everyone crying for Jerusalem, and then the slayer went through and killed those without the mark, starting at the Temple.
Mushrooms for communion
ELCA is not Lutheran.
I’m baptized, educated, and confirmed as Lutheran.
Progressive stuff is bullshit!
I have no churches close to me that match my beliefs,
Hawaii big island is kind of remote.
I stream a Presbyterian service and attend their bible studies.
But I will not support a church that glorifies and accepts faggots and women priests in violation of biblical teaching.
Weeping for Tammuz
Is not for kosher Jews.
Praying to the poltergeist
Is not for followers of Christ.
Apostasy: It’s Not Just For Breakfast!™️

“We have seen where the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) will be in 30 years, and it’s in the form of herchurch, a heretical church in San Francisco...”
San Fransisco.
Figures.
I do NOT miss the Bay Area!
And then there is this-
I was waiting for statement which tells us this is a big joke, but that line never came.
I have my own beliefs and I think all Christians believe in something slightly different if you really get into the nuance. I also believe that a divided community makes us weak and allows the enemy of Christ to win. I try to remain an ally and accept the broadest definition of Christian and realize that I may not have it all right either, “but lets work together” on the bigger issues.
That said, even I who tries to throw the biggest possible tent and include all Christians have a hard time stomaching this crap.
This isn’t Christian. It’s as simple as that.
In fact, if Luther (E Lutheran CA) were alive today, he would literally whip and push these heretics from the pulpit. Realize, he was a Catholic priest and very conservative. His goal was never a split from the church, rather to reform it because of the 95 thesis he saw wrong. These people are cult members, their leader a heretic, and the ELCA should change its name, removing Luther from it.
They are allowed to do whatever they want, but when you use names like Christian and Luther as defining terms, but rebuke everything these teach and stand for, when you adopt some entirely new philosophy and doctrine but still want to use some symbols from some other group which you are not part of, that is akin to what liberals like to define as “cultural appropriation.” That cross, Bible, terms like Christian and Luther don’t belong to them anymore. They are something entirely new and different.
...Who are now probably rolling over in their graves.
That is why I left the Catholic Church. As an altar boy in the mid 80’s, I remember holding a statue of Mary while everyone lined up to kiss the statue’s feet. If that is not idolatry I do not know what is…
