'Today, history was made in our church! ELM celebrates a church that now recognizes the gifts of queer leaders like Bishop-elect Rohrer and we anticipate the day when all queer ministry leaders will be called to ministry settings without hindrance or barrier and will be affirmed in their God-given calls.'


Satan is having a toast to celebrate

At this rate, when Christ returns there won’t be many left to greet him.

These are NOT the Missouri Synod Lutherans, folks. These are the unbiblical heretical Lutherans.

He won’t last long. Next week he’ll want to identify as the Pope. More money in that religion.

I must be the only person who still believes trannys are mentally ill and should not be empowered.

Playing church white actively rejecting the knowledge of the Lord ends in disaster for those doing so.

She identifies as a He and uses the pronouns “They/them”. It goes on to say “their” children. Shouldn’t it be “they” children? They/them should get their act together.

And the Great American Freak Show continues! The ELC nut-jobs may call themselves Lutherans, but they are nothing less than demonic heretics.

There are lots of layers to this trainwreck of a story.

This person uses third-person plural pronouns. I still haven’t figured out the significance of that.

This person got kicked out of the church youth group as a teen when he came out as a lesbian.

This transgender lesbian is the father of two children.

In other words, they is (sic) probably just the right kind of person to lead an apostate religious outfit.

We flaunt God’s design and declare ourselves better than God and the sole arbiters of what is Good.

I grew up in the Wisconsin Lutheran Church synod. It was Bible based. The pastor was a man, the church council members were men and the women who were active in church affairs were chaste ladies, married or waiting to be married.

The marriages blessed in church were M/W. We kids not confirmed were in Sunday school while mom and Dad were up in church. I knew Jesus loved me and we said grace before meals. I knew not to talk to strangers and I didn’t know what “queers” did during sex until later when someone in college explained it to me.

I may have been sheltered and naive but I was happy.

Not that I think my faith in Christ and personal theology is head and shoulders above anyone else.

In the mid-late 1980s my wife an I were up to our eyeballs in our local ELCA church. I was a board member and would on occasion fill the pulpit. At some point I decided to do a study on the actual historic theology of Luther and started to read a biography of him (Bainton).

The first real cause for pause happened when I asked the pastor if I could borrow his copy (I assumed he had a copy) of the Book of the Concord. He refused.

A while later he asked me my opinion on installing a lady on the board who with her husband owned the local strip joint.

I was asked to give the sermon on one of 3 weeks he was on vacation. The other two who gave the message were simply awful, painful to listen to. Why he chose those particular people to do this task was a mystery to me.

My message included an offer to accept Christ as Savior. No one took me up on the offer but several (older) members thanked me for my message one told me she had not heard anything that inspirational in decades. Here is little old me non-seminary trained but I will admit that I put a lot of time into the message, practiced it a few times and tried to present the gospel as best I could.

By 1989 my wife an me were fed up enough to make the move. I would never get close to an ELCA church ever again and would in general avoid any of the mainlines. By the 1980s they had watered down the gospel message so much that even to my theologically untrained ear they were basically a religious social club with no real goal in service to Jesus. It has only since gotten worse, a lot worse. I pass by an ELCA church on my way to work every day, they do “drive-through” Ash Wednesday services and fly the rainbow flag and still the parking lot is empty on Sundays.

I remember thinking to myself towards the end of our Lutheran experience that if Martin Luther were sitting next to me he would get up mid-service, go outside and take his name off of the the sign out front.

One more example of the ongoing hypocrisy in organized religion...ALL organized religion.

They're/you're all hypocrites. Which is why I'm opposed to ALL organized religion.
