A Letter to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America

Christians will succumb to the deception and the great apostacy will occur prior to the return of Jesus Christ. Matt. 7:22-23 says, “During the prophesized apostacy, even church leader will be led astray.”
To expose the apostacy of homosexuality in the churches, some Christians will find it difficult to accept the evidence because it may implicate prominent Christian leaders and sometimes the pastor himself. There is no denying this has happened in the ELCA, which unashamedly retains the name ‘Evangelical’ in it’s name.

The Bible condemns homosexuality as an abominable sin. “Thou salt not lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them shall surely be put to death.” Lev. 20:13, 18:25. Nor is the condemnation of homosexuality only for Jews under the Old Covenant. In Romans 1:24-32 says ‘Homosexuals/lesbians dishonor their own bodies between themselves, engage in ‘vile affections,’ which are against nature and unseemly do so of their volition.” It is a crime against nature and God. Homosexuality is a choice and not in the genes. Satan is out to deceive and kill and homosexuality is Satan’s greatest weapon because it will prevent procreation of life itself.

The increase of AIDS among homosexuals is a lethal epidemic. Christ said, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous, therefore, and repent. Rev. 3:19. It is far more loving to reprove homosexuals than to accept them. If you truly love these misguided souls, you will point them to scriptures which call their perversion a sinful abomination to God. This practice is unnatural and lethal and will bring remorse and premature and painful death.

Christians – believe only the Bible. Not what some theologian tell you. It is every Christian’s responsibility to judge teachings and to accept and follow only which is clearly according to the will of God. Do not accept this perversion of homosexuality that the Bible condemns in the strongest language, with no excuses allowed! The loving thing to do is, try to rescue all from this way of life. It is far more loving to reprove homosexuals than to accept the. Let them know it is and abomination to God.

If you are unsure of what to believe, go to the Bible first. It is the true word of God. Do not believe or follow what some man says as he may be even a pastor and under the influence of Satan. We all need to be watchmen on the wall and see evil invading the church and warn others. So what is happening to Mankind today 2009? There are no moral absolutes. The non-Christian believes they have been developed by man in a past age and are not relevant today. So man has a right to reject, change, or ignore them.

Society has experienced and incredible breakdown of morality. The idea that sexual relationship outside of the bonds of marriage are immoral is rejected. The killing of unborn human beings has been legalized. This is a result of rejecting divine revelation with God. Man is losing his dignity through immorality. While praising his moral freedom, man becomes a slave to lusts.

A biblical believing Christian, who takes a stand against the great moral decline in society and oppose the radical agenda that liberals are trying to force on them, can expect to be attacked and ridiculed. It is easy to see how Satan has used sex to destroy mankind. Women and men have no dignity and will give into the lusts of the flesh without a second thought. It brings untold suffering to them and their offspring. God must look down at the creatures he created and feel sick at what he sees.

The result of immorality is divorce, drunkenness, illegitimacy, obscene language, immodest dress, public display of nudity and a foundation of society with anything goes. If you confront these people, they will try to make you look like a fool and out of touch with reality. What it really is, is a willful rejection of the true and living God. God’s word is not understood by the goats. Only his sheep can understand, those who are “born again.” It is a closed book to the educated. “Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be open to you.” “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.”

Let this letter be a warning to pastors and church leaders who are leading their flock to hell.
