Committed Lutherans must now realize that the ELCA no longer has the Bible as its foundation. Staying within the ELCA is an admission that you value your denomination more than you do your Savior. Time for some hard decisions.

ELCA is to Lutheranism what Pope Frank is to Catholicism.

The liberal wing of the Lutheran church. Like Jesuits in the Catholic church.

Being lukewarm results in becoming spittle on the ground.

Sadly, like so many church “leaders” these days, Eaton is an idiot. Mindlessly mouthing the platitudes of the far left as if they had something to do with Christianity.

“This church’s 1991 social statement Abortion argues that ‘the number of induced abortions is a source of deep concern’ but teaches that the practice should be legal

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits....Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice iniquity!" - Matthew 7: 15-23

Lutheranism is a strain of Christianity that is deeply opposed to the teachings of Christ.

Fake Christians come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors, no matter the denomination.

The Democratic Party as one of several Protestant-flavored religions. Episcopalianism is another. Just as Reform Judaism is the Democratic Party as a Jewish-flavored religion. etc.

ELCA Lutheran churches are anti-babies and therefor anti-Christian.

LCMS Lutheran churches, however, are for the Right to Life.

The PCUSA PRESBYTERIANS, EPISCOPALS, ECLA LUTHERANS, UMC METHODISTS,UCC and other woke denominations fail to understand the connection between being pro-abortion and the lack of kiddies in Sunday School.

Yeah when you have a woman leading your congregation, that sure does fly in the face of Biblical teachings.

I’ll add that the ELCA is run by satanists who despise the Real Jesus. They invented the one they claim to worship.

giggle, snicker
A female “presiding bishop” says this stuff? My Bible says that an elder (and that would include bishops) must be the husband of but one wife.
So this fraud is obviously a total fraud. Why do denominations put up with this?
Seems like the “falling away” is in full swing. And seems like true believers in Jesus Christ and His Gospel are being told “go away, we don’t want you here”.

Tell us you love abortion without telling us you love for abortion.

The finger of God in the form of a tornado that struck Central Lutheran Church in 2009 as ELCAs Assembly voted to ordain homosexuals should have left no doubt in the minds of the faithful as to the apostasy of this denomination. Anyone left after that clear sign has made the wrong choice.

Or they could just read a Bible and compare what is clearly said in it to what is coming at them from their pulpits.

Maybe time for Lutherans to rethink their support of murdering babies?

“As we live into this new legal framework, we can respond to and minister in the current situation, for instance, by ministering to individuals who seek abortions; advocating for laws that provide free or affordable health care, child care and education; providing and promoting sex education; continuing to be a community of discernment where thoughtful and diverse perspectives can be shared and heard; and advocating for state laws that provide legal, safe and affordable abortions, and against legislation that would outlaw abortion in all circumstances

When a "church" becomes a religious arm of a political party or movement, they are no longer a church, but a controlling and manipulating organ of the state. ELCA is no different than the Russian Orthodox church or Iran's Ja’afari Shia, where political leaders determine church dogma, and that is pushed to the masses as if divine doctrine. As if killing the unborn and sexually grooming the young is somehow divine.
