Radical Group's Goals for the ELCA

12/15/2016

#DecolonizeLutheranism is a group made up of extremely radical ELCA pastors, seminary students and leaders (see here) and has gathered a sizeable following in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. They held their first gathering in Chicago this year which 200 people attended (they cut off registration at this number) and have been featured on the ELCA's Northeast Iowa Synod website. (see here)

Below you will find @decolonizeLutheransim's goals:

Here is a link to the group's Facebook page. Check it out and you will see how radically liberal they are.

ELCAnites are nothing if not slavishly devoted to their quotas. Their creed: "It's not enough that we've sold out to the world and its favorite sins. We want to make sure we can infiltrate by force of edict any church that hasn't yet capitulated to our denomination's manifold apostasies."

The only quota subgroup they'll disdain and disallow is "confessional Lutheran." So hit the road, Martin Luther. The ELCA can't abide any Lutheran who's denounced homosex, abortion, universalism, and who knows how many other of the ELCA's trendy heresies.

Why shouldn't the ELCA now "decolonize" itself? It's already de-Lutheranized and apostatized itself so many times it's in no danger of being mistaken for a confessional Christian denomination anymore. Except for a few fellow heretics in Scandinavia, world (read, confessional) Lutheranism has long since severed all formal ties with the ELCA.

Any number of Martin Luther denunciations of heresy and apostasy would serve as a fitting epitaph for the Ersatz Lutheran Church in America. This, for example:

"54. Here then we have these two, the faith and the Gospel, that these and nothing else are to be preached throughout Christendom. Let us now see who are to be the preachers and who the learners. The preachers are to be angels, that is, God's messengers, who are to lead a heavenly life, are to be constantly engaged with God's Word that they under no circumstances preach the doctrine of men. It is a most incongruous thing to be God's messenger and not to further God's message. Angelus means a messenger, and Luke calls him God's messenger (Angelus Domini). The message also is of more importance than the messenger's life. If he leads a wicked life he only injures himself, but if he brings a false message in the place of God's message, he leads astray and injures every one that hears him, and causes idolatry among the people in that they accept lies for the truth, honor men instead of God, and pray to the devil instead of to God.

55. There is no more terrible plague, misfortune or cause for distress upon earth than a preacher who does not preach God's Word; of whom, alas, the world today is full; and yet they think they are pious and do good when indeed their whole work is nothing but murdering souls, blaspheming God and setting up idolatry, so that it would be much better for them if they were robbers, murderers, and the worst scoundrels, for then they would know that they are doing wickedly. But now they go along under spiritual names and show . . . and are at the same time ravening wolves in sheeps' clothing, and it would be well if no one ever heard their preaching."

Considering that this DCL manifesto has zero mention of God, Jesus Christ, or the Bible, their real purpose must be to DeChristianize Lutheranism. Just another moment in the slow-motion train wreck that is the ELCA.
