What Do You Think About This?

Check out the video below made by a Minnesota ELCA church and posted by the Southeastern Minnesota Synod, ELCA (see the Synod's facebook page here)

What are your thoughts on this video?  Good, bad, cool, not cool, fine, wrong, mocking, sacrilegious or what?

So how does the "Jesus" character's "look at me and my cool dancing" exhibitionism fit the Bible text in any remote way? (Or are ELCA churches aware that the Bible has actual accounts of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem?)

[Matthew 21:5] "Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your king is coming to you! He is humble and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt of a donkey.'"

You've gotta admit that a jiving "Jesus" is a perfect metaphor for today's ELCA, which has invented a different "Jesus," preaches a different "Gospel," and makes occasional references to its own convention-amended "Bible." Above all else, strive for trendy relevance.

The multitude worshiped Jesus as He entered Jerusalem, loudly proclaiming “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” "Worship" means that they were showing joy-filled, reverent love and adoration to the Messiah. Emanuel -- true God and true man -- was in their midst.

Could anyone worship the "Jesus" in this video?

This event is identical to the Afro-Cuban Santeria dancing and "worship" that I have seen -- invocations of spirits and powers -- the masks and growling sound on the audio. This church must think it is cool and that it appeals to the youth. The website calls it "fun worship." Unbelievable.

The ELCA has truly become the devil's playground--it over flows with sewage

    "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
