Ariz. Megachurch Cuts Ties with ELCA

A megachurch in Glendale, Ariz., unanimously voted Sunday to cut ties with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and will be joining the smaller Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ.

At a congregational meeting following worship, Community Church of Joy voted 129-0 to terminate its affiliation with ELCA as the churchâ€™s vision, values and mission are no longer aligned with the nationâ€™s largest Lutheran denomination, according to the Rev. Walter P. Kallestad, senior pastor of the congregation.

"There is such a different direction that the ELCA has chosen, a path they're traveling on, and we really believe that it just was not consistent to where God has called us,â€ said Kallestad, whose congregation was the 10th largest in ELCA with 6,800 baptized members. ...

fuzzy logic, you are ignorant of the facts, now I can't help you your Antisemitism, and give you all the reasons that you should be philo-Semitic, but The Jews took no one's land.
Slandering Christian Zionists is usually the province of liberals, not conservatives. You should be happy, though fuzzy, you're right in line with the National Council of Churches!

Sold out for Israel: The 'danger' OF Christan Zionism.

So, Fuzzy, sharpen up your logic by listening to more of Gil's sermons!

Why does Jim's GOO Rugh support Israel and NOT the Palestinians?

Are not Palestinians real human beings? Are they dogs?

Are the ten commandments suspended for the government in Israel?

What happens to someone, LIKE MYSELF, who DOES NOT "support" Israel or any COVETING AND MUREDEROUS people like the Zionist Jews AND x-trians?

Is this logical: The Jews are free to take revenge for the holocaust on a different ethnic group--because the bible says so? Are you kidding me?

Am I guilty of something? If so, WHAT EXACTLY?

Reading the article, it shows that this church had good reasons for parting with the ELCA, the ELCA's lack of support of Israel, Does God Have a Future for Israel?: A Study of Romans 11, it's accepting stance of homosexuality, The Bible Says Homosexuality is Sin, and the ELCA's attack on the Bible itself, which is an attack on God, The Authority of the Bible.
