I stopped going when the ELCA decided to embrace gays.

Jesus embraces gays too, although he probably doesn't condone their behaviour.

If the ELCA condones their behaviour, then that is something else.

All mankind is flawed,

Yes, that's why we need a Saviour to "embrace" us.

Why accept someone else’s flawed interpretation?

No need. Go to the source and let Him interpret things for you.

I think the Bible mentions something like that...



1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
