ELCA

Being a LCMS, I can't stand ELCA. For one thing, they go against what Luther and the Bible actually said.

Where do you get women pastors when the Bible is against women pastors (1 Timothy 2:11-15)? How can a woman be a husband? She can't. Christ is the groom and the church is His bride.

Also, open communion. Do you know that the early church has closed communion? I can't remember where I read this. Why have open communion with other denominations?

I don't consider E*CA as Lutherans. They are not. I call them, Evangelical Liberals of America. It is one of the American type of religion where they don't listen to God and only listen to Man.

My synod is a Bible teaching synod. I am more of a confessional Lutheran than a conservative. My pastor is very conservative in his preaching. If I have a question, I go to him about it.

What we are doing is what the early Christians are doing, and yet, the other denominations don't see it as such?

I like traditional hymns. Very old hymns. I am not into contemp music of today. It does not sound right. Traditional means church to me. Contemp means today's world, which I do not need at church, LOL.
