ELCA Leader is Making a Golden Vagina Sculpture and Sending out 'Impurity Rings'

11/27/2018

13 Comments

 
Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber is the face of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). She is a beloved pastor/author in the denomination who speaks at some of the ELCA's largest gatherings, including this summer's National Youth Gathering that brought in over 31,000 high school students. (See the end of this article)
​
​This week, Rev. Bolz-Weber announced her project to melt down purity rings that she is collecting and making them into a
vagina sculpture. An article in the Huffington Post says "...Bolz-Weber said she plans to melt down the rings that people send her and recast them as a 'golden vagina.' She said that the project ― part of a promotion for Shameless, her upcoming book about sex and Christianity ― is about 'reclamation of women’s bodies.'"
Picture

See here.

​No word yet if Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber and her ELCA brethren will be dancing around the golden object at its unveiling. (Exodus 32:19)

What is this about? This is about sex. This is about being sexual. Nadia does not like God's directive for sex to be between one man and one woman, who are married
and does not think it should be confined only to marriage. Rev. Bolz-Weber's new book website says her book "offers a full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies." (See here) 

The Huffington Post article quotes Pastor Bolz-Weber saying, “This thing about women that the church has tried to hide and control and that is a canvas on which other people can write their own righteousness ― it’s actually ours...This part of me is mine and I get to determine what is good for it and if it’s beautiful and how I use it in the world.” (see here)

If you think this is a joke, it is not. And Nadia Bolz-Weber is actually making a golden vagina sculpture.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm inviting women to mail in their purity rings for a massive art project. @SweetBirdStudio is collaborating with me to melt them into a sculpture of a vagina, click here to join in and get your certificate of impurity! https://t.co/tbaJJdbxeJ #shamelessbook

— Nadia Bolz-Weber (@Sarcasticluther) November 26, 2018

In return for people sending ELCA pastor Bolz-Weber their purity rings, they will be sent an "impurity" ring and a "Certificate of Impurity" as seen below. 

Nadia Bolz-Weber has said and done a lot of heretical things in the past (see here and here). For example, in 2017, Nadia Bolz-Weber signed the "Naked and Unashamed" statement that rejects marriage as the only place for sexual intercourse. (See here) And more recently, she spoke of her support for viewing "ethically sourced porn." (See here) 
​

How can this be allowed in a "Christian" denomination? It can not. The ELCA has placed feeling and belief above that of God and His Word. This is what happens when a church rejects, twists and ignores much of Scripture. It will only get worse. 

The same principles and theology of ELCA professors who taught Nadia, are and have been teaching most pastors of the ELCA. Warn people about the apostasy of the ELCA. If you are attending an ELCA church, get out and find a Bible-believing and God-honoring denomination. 

--

As you can see below, not only is Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber the brightest star in the ELCA, she is the face of the ELCA, and the defacto theological leader of the denomination. She is sought out by ELCA leadership. Rev. Bolz-Weber's Facebook page has 196,105 "likes" and 212,283 people follow her.  On Twitter, she has over 71,000 followers. Nadia Bolz-Weber's influence is wide and deep.

Here is a picture of Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber sitting with the leader of the ELCA, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton. ​

​This picture shows Nadia with former ELCA Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson.

​
​The ELCA chose Rev. Bolz-Weber to speak to the the youth at the 2018 ELCA Youth Gathering.

And also at the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering.

Then there is a video created by an ELCA synod about Rev. Bolz-Weber and her church.

(See here) 
​
ELCA bishops want to be around Nadia Bolz-Weber. The picture below shows Nadia with the Bishop of the Gulf Coast Synod, ELCA.

Next, Rev. Bolz-Weber is pictured along with the bishop of the ELCA's Rocky Mountain Synod.

​Finally, we have Rev. Dr. R. Guy Erwin, bishop of the Southwest California Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America with Rev. Bolz-Weber.

Finally, here is an ELCA church hosting Rev. Bolz-Weber's book tour.

We are excited to host @Sarcasticluther on March 3, 2019 for her Book Tour #shamelessbook! Tickets are selling fast so get yours today. https://t.co/FjfFk5vBj4

This woman is a strict conformist to the rule, "Anything goes but orthodoxy." She is obviously very skilled at speaking to itching ears and completes her message with the perfunctory tats and swears. Just like a Chick Tract in real life.

I just removed myself from the ordained roster of the ELCA. It is stuff like this as well as other issues such as a lack of Christian identity on that church which caused me to leave for the LCMS.

"No word yet if Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber and her ELCA brethren will be dancing around the golden object at its unveiling. (Exodus 32:19)"

It's official: Nadia Bolz-Weber has just ensconced herself as the High Priestess of the Everything Luther Cautioned Against ELCAnites. If she ever tires of sacrificing souls to Eros, she could certainly slide right into a job as a columnist for Cosmo.

Pagan promo from the High Priestess:
"SEND IN YOUR PURITY RINGS!
Mail in your purity rings to be melted down into a special sculpture. In return you’ll receive a Certificate of Impurity, an “Impurity” ring, and the support of all those ready to support a sexual revolution!"

Two messages for you, ELCA members who think there's nothing wrong with remaining in a denomination that's actively, purposely proselytizing for hell:

From Jesus: "I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet [pastor, "public theologian"]. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality. . ."

From Robert Benne: "After watching these recent proofs that the ELCA is pretty much both “in the world” and “of the world,” however, I want to write this as a warning. First, to those orthodox souls who remain in “evolving” churches. They belong to and support churches that increasingly depart from right teaching. Indeed, those churches suppress it. And it will get worse in the future." [ ELCA Hits Bottom -- https://www.firstthings.com/article/2018/10/elca-hits-bottom ]

This is a perfect example of idol worship. So you think you are smarter than God and His laws. And shame on you for encouraging teens to make their own rules. Our bodies are a gift of God, made in the gender that He chose for us. And so, we praise Him for the way He made us and honor Him with abiding by His statutes. Matt 18:6

Robyn you hit the nail on the head with your comment. It is because of apostasy like hers I left the ELCA after 25 years. But there are still a lot of confessional people in the denomination who are still fighting for God. Bless their endeavors.

As a p k whose father was an LCA minister, I continue to be absolutely appalled by the acts of the leaders of the ELCA. Martin Luther must be turning in his grave.

The ELCA (through its predecessor, the LCA) became the chaplain of the far Left a half century ago.
Now comes the end of their long journey to the precipice led currently by a prophetess of Baal. Where is our Elijah to challenge them?

She is a pig, and the ELCA has become a cesspool of heresy, idolatry and profane living. They will be held accountable, make no mistake!
On second thought, she is an affront to pigs! I apologize to pigs everywhere for the comparison!

As a minister in an ELCA church, I am increasingly pained by all of the scratching of itchy ears the ELCA is doing. I was on a track for ordination until I got into the pool with these people and found out that it isn't just a Baby Ruth floating on the water. I am torn as I fight to reform what I can from the inside and also want to leave and lead my congregation somewhere else. It seems the ELCA is making their echo chamber louder and louder, making it increasingly difficult to not be drowned out by their hypocrisy. I ask that you all pray for those of us struggling against the tide as we work with what hope we have for revival of true doctrine in the ELCA. As a note, I am currently reading her book (Shameless) for research purposes to know exactly what is in the belly of the beast. The level of hypocrisy is incredible and the tearing down of orthodoxy is beyond painful. I don't recommend it unless you truly want to go through it as to understand their positions so you can push against them. However, they don't want a debate, they want their truth, not God's.

Rod Dreher has a similar caveat about reading Nadia's book:

"Read the whole thing — especially if you’re under the illusion that progressive Christianity has a future. You may be drawn to Bolz-Weber’s Didache for decadents. She certainly is making a name for herself as the chaplain to Weimar America. Still, Scripture and 2,000 years of tradition are a more solid basis upon which to construct one’s Christian sexual morality than the juvenile enthusiasm of a potty-mouthed pulpit-pounder who is staring at menopause bearing down on her like a freight train."

Sex and the Single Pastor: Sexual permissiveness is the prosperity gospel of the Left and Nadia Bolz-Weber is its prophet. --

This is blasphemy, so dishonoring to God! We need to learn the truth about the Bible and hold to it, not try to make it say what our itching ears want to hear!

It is rumored that "Rev" Nadia B-W is penning her latest iconoclastic blockbuster:
"How I Killed my Church Body and Can Help to Kill Yours!"
