WORLD VISION ACCEPTS SAME SEX SIN - BIBLICAL IGNORANCE Here we are again, WV stumbling through another brawl regarding gay marriage . If you missed it - Rich Stearns, CEO of World Vision , a Christian humanitarian organization "dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice," announced a policy change to allow employees in same-sex marriages to be eligible for employment . To Christianity Today , Stearns said, "Changing the employee conduct policy to allow someone in a same-sex marriage who is a professed believer in Jesus Christ to work for us makes our policy more consistent with our practice on other divisive issues ," he said. "It also allows us to treat all of our employees the same way: abstinence outside of marriage, and fidelity within marriage." TOTALLY NON-BIBLICAL POSITION Regarding sexual conduct, World Vision has always h...

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America , the country's largest Lutheran denomination , now has its first openly gay bishop from Los Angeles, California , who has been elected to a six-year term. The Rev. R. Guy Erwin was elected Friday to a six-year term as bishop of the ELCA's Southwest California Synod at the church's annual assembly in Woodland Hills , Calif, the denomination said in a statement, noting that "Erwin is the ELCA's first synod bishop who is gay and in a partnered relationship." Erwin, interim pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Canoga Park , Calif., was elected on the sixth ballot receiving 210 votes of 381 cast. The synod is made up more than 120 congregations in five counties. This is the deception right here: "The ELCA is a church that belongs to Christ, and in it there is a place for all," The Associated Press quoted church spokeswoman Melissa Ramirez Cooper as saying. Further deception: "The election of Pastor Erwin i...

ELCA Pastor With Interesting View on Scripture and celebrating Homosexuality

Image
Is all of scripture God's Word or not? ELCA pastor Gary Eichhorn of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior in Oakwood, OH made an interesting statement in a recent news article. The article says this, "Gay Christians refer to the four to seven passages most often cited to attack homosexuality as 'the clobber passages.'  (Rev.) Eichhorn of Oakwood said none of them are from the gospels and none are quotations attributed to Jesus . 'I’d rather talk about the things Jesus talked about rather than the things he never talked about,' Eichhorn said."( read here ) So only the things Jesus said are important enough to warrant our thoughts, comments and preaching Rev. Eichhorn? Didn't God inspire all of scripture? If God inspired the writings of Peter (and all the writings of scripture), that means Peter wrote what God wanted him to write. What Peter (and all the Biblical authors) wrote is just as important as what Jesus said, because they all come from...

Confused liberal ELCA Lutherans claiming Homosexuality ia to be celebrated not confessed as sin

Can you pick the theological errors and assumptions in this article below? For example: Jesus never mentions smoking, therefore it is okay to smoke? Because a sin is mentioned only a few times in scripture it can be ignored? 'Women shall remain silent' is a ban on total speech? Christians were involved in getting rid of slavery therefore they should help LGBT movement? The Bible can be interpreted by an individual anyway they want and make a public statement? The question that is not being asked or stated: Is there a spirit of deception emerging around the world regarding the LGBT sin? Has God sent a powerful delusion (2 Thess 2:11) to LGBT people and people who support homosexuality as normality when Romans 1 clearly tells us that it is an example of perverse sin? Why is there no call for repentance? ...................................................................................................... CHRISTIANITY, THE LGBT COMMUNITY AND GAY-FR...
