Pure Evil

12/18/2013

As the The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod invites members "to join two marches this month to show their support for the sanctity of life" (see here) you hear and see nothing promoting the protection of unborn children coming from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  In fact, the ELCA supports the killing of unborn babies. Evil has taken over this denomination.

How anyone who is pro-life, who believes children in the womb should not be burned to death and ripped apart limb from limb by abortionists
remains in this denomination is beyond me.

While the ELCA funds abortion for any reason up to 20 weeks in its self-funded health care plan, the LCMS is using its denominational resources in the cause of preserving the innocent little ones' lives.

"Following is the LCMS statement, signed by Synod President Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison and Maggie Karner, director of LCMS Life and Health Ministries [ http://www.lcms.org/life ]:

“The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is deeply concerned by the news that Thrivent Financial has recognized Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota as a potential recipient of funding through its Thrivent Choice Dollars grant program. The LCMS always has been, and will continue to be, clear and faithful in its proclamation of the sanctity of all human life from conception until natural death. We are currently in conversation with Thrivent Financial and pray for a God-pleasing resolution to this matter so that the pro-life witness of individual Lutherans and the LCMS will not be compromised.”

[ . . . ]

Sanctity of all human life “is not a matter that we take lightly,” Karner said of the Synod and its leaders. “The biblical understanding of the intrinsic value of human life was played out for us in Bethlehem, where a little child was born from a mother who experienced an unexpected pregnancy.

“That same little child later suffered, died and rose again to show His love for all humankind, no matter what age or stage of development, from conception until natural death,” she said. “We are all vulnerable and in need of God’s saving grace. This is the message that the LCMS will continue to share, and this is the message that we hope will be upheld by any organization with which we work alongside.”

    "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
