It is disconcerting how the ELCA slipped so far away from Biblical Christianity, embracing cultural norms and sinful sexual relationships, as well as social activism. In order for any church to fall into apostasy and heresy, it is necessary to deconstruct and subvert the word of God first. Essentially, it is necessary to call God a liar, and dismiss the inerrancy of scripture. It is demonic, Satanic, and the word of God predicts this happens to churches, and so the ELCA, with its tainted doctrines and practices, will take many unwary souls to their own destruction as well.
