Transgender 'Man' is New Assistant to the Bishop

9/11/2021

0 Comments

 
The ELCA's South-Central Synod of Wisconsin has a new "Assistant to the Bishop for Generosity."  Rev. Peter Beeson, formally Rev. Rose Beeson (see here), is joining the synod staff.  

This is the third known transgender person to be placed in a leadership position in the ELCA this year.  The Sierra Pacific Synod of the ELCA elected transgender pastor Megan Rohrer bishop of their synod in May, 2021 (see here) and the East Central Synod of Wisconsin of the ELCA installed pastor Asher O'Callaghan as associate to the bishop, also  in May . (See here) 

Theological liberals control the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  If you believe God's Word, it is time to get out of this denomination.

ELCA Proudly Announces They Have Their First Transgender Bishop

5/11/2021

0 Comments

 
On May 8, 2021, the Sierra Pacific Synod of the ELCA elected transgender pastor Megan Rohrer bishop of their synod. 

Thrilled with the news, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America issued a press release with posts on their website, Facebook page and their magazine Living Lutheran announcing the historic action of the ELCA's "first openly transgender bishop..." (See below)


The news has been picked up by many national news outlets including this one from NPR. 

The ELCA mocks God. They mock God's Word.  They lead others astray and they twist the Truth.  The ELCA:
  1. Supports abortion, even paying for employee's and their family's abortions.
  2. Celebrates homosexuality, same-sex marriage and allows practicing gay pastors.
  3. Teaches universalism, that all are saved and that there is nobody going to hell.
  4. They ordain transgender pastors.
  5. Continually signals out Israel, the only Jewish nation, for condemnation, seeking to harm them. 
  6. Teaches evolution.
  7. Publicizes and advocates their leftist political beliefs.
  8. Denigrates the truth of Scripture.
  9. Uses gender neutral or feminine words for God.
  10. Pays for sex change drugs and surgery of those on their insurance plan.
  11. Allows goddess worship. 

I can no longer have any respect for anyone who remains in the ELCA.  That includes churches that remain too, from the very smallest to the biggest (the ELCA's Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines and Nazareth Lutheran in Cedar Falls, to name a few). Shame on you for staying in a denomination that is not Christian but is leading people into sin and away from Jesus.  Your participation is your shame and you have no excuse. You can not justify being part of this evil, faith destroying denomination. 


(See the new release the ELCA published where they brag "Rohrer is the first transgender bishop in the ELCA" here)

Megan Rohrer was elected May 8 to serve a six-year term as bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the ELCA. Rohrer is the first transgender bishop in the ELCA.

ELCA Leaders Renewed Calls for Gun Laws and Restrictions

10/3/2017

5 Comments

 
The 2nd Amendment, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" is a hot topic of debate, especially when a gun toting wacko or terrorists strike within our country. So it is today in the aftermath of the Las Vegas killing spree. 

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America advocates for laws that restrict gun ownership. (see here and scroll down toward the bottom of the page) 

For those ELCA members who hold the 2nd Amendment close, I'd like to share with you what the ELCA leadership has been saying the past week. Many have been on social media sharing a 2013 letter from the ELCA Conference of Bishops. It is very carefully worded but you can see though their intentions with this statement, “To focus only on guns is to miss the depth of our vocation. Yet, guns and access are keys to the challenges we face.” (see here) 

In contrast to the carefully worded and cloaked intentions of the 2013 letter some bishops are very clear on their feelings, making blatant statements about having new gun laws. For example:


Sierra Pacific Synod bishop, Mark W. Holmerud writes, “I hope we will use our voices to advocate for legislative initiatives which will finally stem access to weapons such as those used in this Massacre…” And,
 
“Let a last word be our voices calling for a change in gun and ammunition laws which makes these acts possible.” (see here)  

Then there is this from ELCA Southwest California Synod Bishop R. Guy Erwin:

​The Southwestern Washington Synod of the ELCA writes "Violence is in our nature and unregulated armament has become our national idolatry." See below:

The ELCA Leadership Taking Part in a "Ministers March" the Washington Post Calls "A Moral Rebuke to Trump's Presidency"

8/28/2017

4 Comments

 
Well here we go again with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America taking part in leftist politics.

Today there is a gathering called "Ministers March For Justice." The event's Facebook page describes what it is about. Here is part of the description: 

"Clergy will hold the Trump Administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions accountable in the wake of an increase in hate crimes, mass incarceration, and discrimination just to name a few.


We are in grave times that call for vigilance and a mobilized effort to confront the Administration on issues that are taking us backwards." (see here) 


As mentioned, the ELCA is heavily involved. The Metro D.C. Synod of the ELCA shared a post of an article titled "Religious leaders plan rally in Washington as a moral rebuke to Trump's presidency."

The Delaware-Maryland Synod of the ELCA is posting about the march: 
​
Bishop Bill Gohl, of the Delaware-Maryland Synod is marching. Here are some of his Facebook posts which shows a lot of ELCA leaders participating:
 

How Bible-believing Christians, Republicans or Trump supporters can remain in this denomination I will never understand.

    "Then he (Joshua) took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the LORD.

    'See!' he said to all the people. 'This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.'
    Joshua 24:26-27
