ELCA Lesbian Lutheran Minister To Become 'Official'


In open rebellion of God’s Holy Word, the ELCA, or Evangelican Luthern Church of America is making a lesbian minister official. In the post Christian era that we now live in, I suppose it’s ok in their way of thinking to do what one wants to do as in the case of a lesbian minister becoming official within the ELCA. But to those of us who believe and defend God's Word, we can now conclude that the Evangelican Luthern Church of America, because of this stand it has taken against the Lord and His Word, is part of the end time apostasy or falling away. While the ELCA has made official a lesbian minister, that doesn’t make it official with God. He still has the last Word in this.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
  • For seven years, the Rev. Mary Albing has been pastor of Lutheran Church of Christ the Redeemer in south Minneapolis. But the official roster of pastors lists the job as vacant.

Albing, a lesbian, couldn't be recognized as a minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Her stealth status ends Sunday morning when Bishop Craig Johnson of the Minneapolis Synod signs the original Letter of Call that Albing got from the church in 2003. She is believed to be the first lesbian to become a rostered ELCA pastor since the denomination voted last year to accept gays and lesbians in committed relationships. Read the rest at link
