From the ELCA: Remove Pres. Trump and Hold All Responsible Who "Supported and/or Promoted the President’s False Claims About The Election"

1/8/2021

A letter signed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is calling for President Trump's removal from office. Even more shocking, the ELCA comes against anyone who believes the 2020 election was fraudulent saying, "In addition, we recognize the need to hold responsible not only those who invaded the Capitol, but also those who supported and/or promoted the President’s false claims about the election, or made their own false accusations." (See here)

Buckle-up God-fearing Christians, in a country that was built on freedom of speech, half of our society, big tech and the faux-Christian community have succumbed to hate and are now calling for repercussions for those with thoughts and beliefs that are not their own.

It is time to reexamine your relationship with God, invest in your faith, grow in your knowledge of God's Word and train up those around you to do the same. Fear not, God is with you.

Here is the article on the ELCA website announcing the "ELCA presiding bishop joins NCC leaders in letter to vice president, Cabinet and Congress."

Presiding Bishop Shares Stage with the Most Radical ELCA Pastors

9/22/2017

5 Comments

Last week Elizabeth Eaton, the Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) took part in Augsburg University’s annual Christensen Symposium. The first half of the symposium was an "Address by Bishop Eaton" and the second half was "#DecolonizeLutheranism Community Panel with Bishop Eaton."

Giving credence to #DecolonizeLutheranism is a disappointing choice by the ELCA but even more ridiculous and shocking is whom Elizabeth Eaton is cavorting with on stage. They are some of the most extreme and radical ELCA leaders around.

Three of the five people on the panel with Presiding Bishop Eaton were:

"Jessica Davis, Christian Educator and #decolonizeLutheranism Chaplain.
Rev. Lura Groen, Pastor and #decolonizeLutheranism Chaplain
Francisco Herrera, Ph. D candidate at LSTC and Convener of #decolonizeLutheranism" (see here)

Let me tell you more about them.

* ELCA Rev. Lura Groen is someone Exposing the ELCA knows well. Pastor Groen is seeking to start a new worship community named “St. Jezebel's Church.” (see here)

She is the pastor who wrote,

"May the Mighty One dance Her fierce dance on all the walls of injustice.
May the Strong, Proud Mama keep all Her babies safe.
May the Femme of all Femmes paint us in beauty.
May the Seductive One change our hearts.
May the Love of the Universe wiggle Her wide hips at you, and wrap Her thighs around you.
May the Promiscuous One make love to you,
And may She rock your world." (see here)

She also wrote "a Liturgical Proclamation of Queer Holiness." (see here)

* Jessica Davis is a signer of the "Naked & Unashamed Statement" which said such things as "We are ELCA Lutherans…The plethora of stories we hear in our conversations demonstrate that life and liberty are being oppressed in the pressure for church leaders to be in marital relationships, or otherwise abstain from all sexual intimacy. The common good of both parishioners and church leaders would benefit from the freedom to be in a variety of healthy relationships…”

And,

"Specific changes we would like to see (with the ELCA) include:
- No longer privileging marriage as the only acceptable form of sexual relationality
- Updating ELCA policies to reflect marriage equality in the United States
- Editing out language that perpetuates heteronormativity and sexual oppression” (see here)

In a blog laced with profanity Jessica Davis writes,
- “when you’re talking to White people, you keep your shit together. People who don’t die for it.”
- “I’m done speaking softly while y’all silently watch our boyfriends, fathers, mothers, daughters, sons slaughtered. I’m going to give voice to the cries of their blood. I know one’y’all will probably murder me for it, but I’m too damn mad to care anymore.” (see here)

* Francisco Herrera was also a panelist. He has gain notoriety for saying,

- It is the "deepest, darkest dreams of so many" ELCA members to kill black people. (see here)

- "...if the God that we serve would condemn such gorgeous souls to eternal torment, let that God stand accursed — and you with him!" (see here)

- "God is a woman… who loves us, who desires us, who wants to make love to us, who longs for us in a perfumed garden, eagerly waiting to give herself to us with passion and abandon.” (see here)

This is the type of people the top bishop of the ELCA is meeting and speaking, elevating their voice and influence. They have the ear of the Presiding Bishop. This is not good news for anyone in the ELCA but this is the direction the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is going.

The ELCA’s Summer Politics

9/7/2017

2 Comments

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, in ever-increasing fashion, is spouting its liberal political beliefs. Let me show examples from this summer:

- Here we have the ELCA and Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton addressing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. (see here)

Lutherans stand firmly against policies that cause the separation of families. #WithDreamers #DACA https://t.co/uHg3E35PUy
— Bishop Eaton (@ELCABishopEaton) September 5, 2017

- A few weeks ago came this ELCA news release titled “ELCA on Gender Identity Discrimination.” (see here) Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton is quoted saying,

"Transgender individuals should not be denied the opportunity to participate in our armed forces. We should honor the courage and sacrifice of all members of our military regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation and join those who serve in upholding the respect and dignity of each person."

- Last month Bishop Eaton was tweeting her displeasure with new immigration policies (see below).

I am still trying to understand an immigration policy that only allows English speaking PhDs in. None of my grandparents would be accepted
— Bishop Eaton (@ELCABishopEaton) August 18, 2017

We are blue collar, white collar, physicians, musicians, artists, parents, citizens, clergy. We are America. Why choke hope of immigrants ?
— Bishop Eaton (@ELCABishopEaton) August 18, 2017

- In June, the ELCA’s magazine Living Lutheran wrote about Bishop Eaton addressing the topic of anti-Muslim behavior. (see here)

Some people applaud the ELCA’s political activism and their liberal views, I do not.

Seeing how the ELCA pushes their leftist political positions, it is time Republicans, Libertarians, Conservatives and Blue Dog Democrats stop feeding this Democratic advocacy organization that is wrapped in a faux Christian veneer.
