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

8/28/2017

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."

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.

The ELCA needs to repent of racism against whites, and repent of searing LGBTQ consciences against inclusion in God's Kingdom of repentant, forgiven sinners.

Or they can continue to dwindle and morph into a movement that closely resembles an arts-college picnic, as the photos above indicate. Hmmm....

Pastors from the abortion-funding, profanity-loving, sin-promoting, pagan-goddess-worshiping ELCA actually think they can issue a "moral rebuke" to Trump?

Google "irony" sometime soon, ELCA.

"The great masquerade of evil has played havoc with all our ethical concepts. For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity, or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on our traditional ethical concepts, while for the Christian who bases his life on the bible, it merely confirms the fundamental wickedness of evil.
The "reasonable" people's failure is obvious. With the best intentions and a naive lack of realism, they think that with a little reason they can bend back into position the framework that has got out of joint. Disappointed by the world's unreasonableness, they see themselves condemned to ineffectiveness; they step aside in resignation or collapse before the stronger party." Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and papers from prison, new greatly enlarged edition, edited by Eberhard Bethge, Touchstone(Simon and Schuster) 1997. This quote was taken from a paper which he wrote prior to his arrest. It was found in the attic of his father's house after the war. It should be noted that "social, Justice, charity and fairness were slogans used by the national socialists in order to deceive Christians of that day. It seems that nothing has changed. What is the difference between those pastors who abandoned their beliefs and joined with the so-called national church and the those who are doing the same thing today?

These protesters simply joined the first harebrained cause that they came across, as part of their 12-step treatment for alcoholism or drug abuse.

    "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
