St Francis parish has been reinstated into the synod and the lesbian pastors are in good standing with their bishop now that the ELCA has recognized gay clergy and gay marriage.
This is indeed heresy. God is the Father, and Mary, the holy virgin, is the Mother of God. But she is not a part of the Trinity, therefore this is heresy.
But otherwise: she is an ordained pastor, not an properly ordained priest, ordained by the laying of hands of a bishop in apostolic succession..however if gay she should live in celibacy.
God the father-mother, god made flesh? That's exactly how Jesus referred to GOD THE FATHER and himself in the gospels, right? Not on your life! This is straight apostacy! This church puts their will and practices above God's and will incur His judgement upon themselves. Please don't lump all Lutherans into this bunch. There are still synods that are 100% scriptual and confessional (e.g. Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, WELS, and the AALC). What a shame to see them damming their salvation.
Regardless of what one thinks of gay ordination or gay marriage, a church that gets sucked into political and social issues abandons Transcendence and has no authority to speak for that which is beyond the world system.
The ELCA is heading down the same path now to apostasy! The Bible clearly teaches the qualifications of an "overseer" be a HUSBAND of ONE WIFE. So having women in the office of public ministry is a heresy to begin with and NOT orthodox. This makes me sick as a Christian.
Is it then OK to be a piligimist? How about incest? Should diving into pornography be an acceptable behavior? Neptmod2, I see you lack godliness by your last statement. Rany2468, it's not OK to be gay, if you want to inherit the kingdom of God.
