Real TRUTH invites 'testing', is not afraid of being 'tested', and is often truly revealed once the 'test' is over...

This is getting more and more ridiculous

[Protestia @Protestia]

"We celebrate you being 'divinely queer,' created in God's image. Because Jesus was a drag queen. Jesus is a lesbian woman with two kids...Jesus is a young trans man...God is a God of any pronouns you embody as what is affirming to you."

'Pastor' at Zion Lutheran Church (ELCA)

For me this illustrates perfectly two things:
1. If you hold a position on faith you can find and misrepresent a portion of scripture to apparently fit.
2. You need to ignore the full counsel of scripture to not ruin point one.
Jesus and then Paul’s teaching contradict his point

[Protestia @Protestia]

"Paul suggests many if not all world religions can be a path to God... I no longer believe Jesus is the only way to know God."

'Pastor' Glenn Seefeldt of Nativity Lutheran Church' (ELCA) telling folks what he really believes.

I am struck by the phrase, “is that what Jesus meant?”, it reminds me of another phrase “Did God really say…?”. IYKYK. As usual someone’s desired interpretation, without scriptural basis seems to drive their doctrine.

[Protestia @Protestia]

"If I make it to whatever the heavenly banquet looks like and the Dalai Lama and Gandhi aren't there, I'm going to be dissapointed."

UCC 'pastor' denies the exclusivity of Christ, says people who follow other religions are saved.

Sorry but Scripture warns us that teachers will be judged more harshly, implying at the very least to be careful what you teach others.
It warns of not adding to the text, with pretty strong language.
I do believe that God loves everyone but doesn’t ignore what we teach others.

St. Michael Lutheran Church, in Unionville, PA, preaches on the 'Queer Beatitudes'

"Blessed are the broken, for they are not broken. Blessed are the hated, for they are not worthy of hate. Blessed are the closeted: God sees you shine anyway"

[Locky McNeill @lockymcneill]

@Protestia This is not just peak form it is peak performative presentation.
Similar to performative politics.
It is “look at me and my amazing pants while I ‘perform’, pretending to preach the Word of God.

[Locky McNeill @lockymcneill]

don’t agree and not sorry to say that…

[Protestia @Protestia]

"The New Testament is NOT the word of God'

UCC Bishop says we need a 'Third Testament' because the first two are 'problematic,' and contain bad theology.

As a result, "we need to pull those pages out"

The term "theological liberalism" is thrown around a lot.
When push comes to shove though, it still boils down to Richard Niebuhr's summation of what theological liberalism truly is: "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross" (Kingdom of God in America, 193).

Liberal/progressive Christianity is more than that but it is no less than that, and it will always come down to it. Niebuhr's words 89 years ago are just as applicable in 1937 as they are today.

I believe the world is changed by big things and the so called big people, but also by small things and those who feel small in the middle of it.

Can I encourage to do small things where you can and for who you can.
You have no idea the impact your actions can have!

#failedpastor
Started sharing a short series of clips talking about what I learnt as a “failed pastor”.
I didn’t fail because of morals.
I did fail because of how I led.
Hope this helps other leaders?
