ELCA Elects Openly Transgender Bishop

I believe we can apply, in principle, the same words God spoke through the prophets to the Israelites to this situation:

I take no delight in your solemn assemblies . . . offerings, I will not accept them . . . Take from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. (Amos 5:21-23)

But they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them. (Hosea 5:6)

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:6)

For a spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the whore. (Hosea 4:12)

Instead of starting with man’s ever-changing and depraved opinions and compromising with the pagan religion of our day, we need to start with God’s Word in all areas. I would urge this bishop to repent of her compromise, believe God’s Word, and encourage others to do the same.
