ELCA Pastor Writes, "May the Love of the Universe...Wrap Her Thighs Around You"

8/25/2016

Exposing the ELCA has introduced ELCA Rev. Lura Groen to you in the past. (see here) A couple weeks ago, Rev. Groen proudly posted, on her Facebook page, her delight that during Reconciling Works morning prayer time at the ELCA's Churchwide Assembly, they would be using a "Blessing" and liturgy she wrote.

Reconciling Works is an organization that has been pushing LGBT rights, approval, gay marriage, gay clergy and the blessing of homosexuality in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for a good number of years.

Here is Rev. Groen's Facebook post:

Here is ELCA pastor Lura Groen's "blessing":

May the Mighty One dance Her fierce dance on all the walls of injustice.
May the Strong, Proud Mama keep all Her babies safe.
May the Femme of all Femmes paint us in beauty.
May the Seductive One change our hearts.
May the Love of the Universe wiggle Her wide hips at you, and wrap Her thighs around you.
May the Promiscuous One make love to you,
And may She rock your world. (see here)

(Reconciling Works did not recite the 4th, 5th or 6th sentences.)

This is blasphemous. "(T)he Promiscuous One make love to you," "wrap Her thighs around you." This is the direction of the ELCA. As more and more CINO's (Christian In Name Only) and false teachers graduate from ELCA seminaries, the denomination that is already rejecting much of Scripture will be increasingly championing doctrines of demons.

Here is a liturgy by ELCA pastor Groen called "a Liturgical Proclamation of Queer Holiness." It too was recited at the ELCA's Churchwide Assembly Reconciling Works morning prayer gathering:

My Beloved Queer Ones,

(y)our lives are holy.
(y)our lives are holy.
(y)our dancing is holy.
(y)our dancing is holy.
(y)our protest is holy.
(y)our protest is holy.
(y)our grief is holy.
(y)our grief is holy.
(y)our rage is holy.
(y)our rage is holy.
(y)our community is holy.
(y)our community is holy.
(y)our gender presentations are holy.
(y)our gender presentations are holy.
(y)our bodies are holy.
(y)our bodies are holy.
(y)our sex is holy.
(y)our sex is holy.
(y)our love is holy.
(y)our love is holy.
(y)ou are holy.
(y)ou are holy.
We are holy. (see Rev. Groen's blog with this liturgy here)

(The Reconciling Works speaker added a few lines to this liturgy. - Here is a video of the blessing and liturgy. The ELCA Bishop of the Southwest California Synod, Guy Erwin attended this prayer gathering and can be seen in the video below. The liturgy begins around the 5:10 minute mark)

This is vile, crazy and a heresy that permeates the ELCA.

Here's what the Bible says about Christians In Name Only:

"His [Jesus'] winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire." (Matthew 3:12)

"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:15)

"And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death." (Leviticus 24:16)

When Lura Groen says, "The Promiscuous One make love to you..., wrap Her thighs around you," she is depicting not the true God but the whore of Babylon (Revelation 17:1-5), which is a symbol of all false or perverse religion; in this case, the god of the antinomians.

"The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)

Pity the ELCA, which thinks it’s breaking new religious ground with its ever-expanding list of “progressive Christian” practices.

The ELCAnites, spiritual descendants of the Canaanites, are simply reintroducing Baal worship, cloaked in contemporary liberal parlance.

Matt Barber offers a comparison of the Canaanite past with the “progressive” present:

"Ritualistic Baal worship, in sum, looked a little like this: Adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would then be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to the deity. Amid horrific screams and the stench of charred human flesh, congregants – men and women alike – would engage in bisexual orgies. The ritual of convenience was intended to produce economic prosperity by prompting Baal to bring rain for the fertility of 'mother earth.’ ”

"Modern liberalism deviates little from its ancient predecessor. While its macabre rituals have been sanitized with flowery and euphemistic terms of art, its core tenets and practices remain eerily similar. The worship of ‘fertility' has been replaced with worship of 'reproductive freedom' or ‘choice.' Child sacrifice via burnt offering has been updated, ever so slightly, to become child sacrifice by way of abortion. The ritualistic promotion, practice and celebration of both heterosexual and homosexual immorality and promiscuity have been carefully whitewashed – yet wholeheartedly embraced – by the cults of radical feminism, militant 'gay rights' and 'comprehensive sex education.' And, the pantheistic worship of 'mother earth' has been substituted – in name only – for radical environmentalism."

The Baalite/ELCAnite checklist:

1. Child sacrifice. Check. The ELCA funds preborn child sacrifice for any reason up to 20 weeks in its self-funded health plan. Lura Groen should be careful about what she prays for. If the God of the Bible decided to mete out retribution and "dance on the walls of injustice" and "keep all *His* babies safe," the abortion-funding ELCA could well disappear in a puff of brimstone.

2. Sexual immorality. Check. Reconciling Works and countless ELCA pastors, bishops, and professors are hard at work weaving Biblically proscribed sexual immorality into the warp and woof of the ELCA.

3. Mother Earth worship. Check. ELCA churches and conferences are rapturously enamored of goddess worship and every trendy Earth-worshiping environmental cause.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. In the shabbily derivative ELCA, the more “progressive" things change, the more they stay the pagan same.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! So very beautiful. ELCA women clergy are the best!

God Bless the ELCA. I guess there is no historical precedent for passionate merging with God in the Christian mystical tradition...

I trust you are either using sarcasm or are just trolling.

What never seems to surprise me is the complete and utter contempt for Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. I don't understand the fascination with almost a narcissism of distorting the truth of The Greatest Story Ever Told: Jesus Christ Our Lord. But then the ELCA thinks that by catering to culture, it's answering the Gospel's mission.... All it is doing is alienating those who are hungry and thirsting for the real, TRUE Word of God... not this self pandering BS

May God forgive you, for you know not what you do. God has given you over to your desires and you don't even know it! Please consider this and seek God's forgiveness before it is too late!

As long as the ELCA keeps ordaining these little wiccans with their vile and disgusting anti-Christian "thealogy," there is simply no hope for the ELCA--none! As an orthodox confessional pastor with years of experience, I could not find another call in the ELCA, yet "this church" bends of backwards for lesbian wiccans and sodomites. The bottom line is that any church that tolerates this heresy and blasphemy is not a part of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. Faithful Lutheran Christians, get out of the ELCA!

Under the Old Testament law, prostitution and lechery could not be even remotely associated with the worship of God.

"If a priest's daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire." (Leviticus 21:9)

"No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute. You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both." (Deuteronomy 23:17-18)

"Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.... [Therefore the Lord declared to him,] 'What happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you--they will both die on the same day.' ...And Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died." (1 Samuel 2:22, 34; 4:11)

It's completely sad, disgusting and vile that this heresy in the ELCA continues. But God is sovereign and just, loving and merciful and He will deal with these false teachers and apostates in His own time.

This is not a "pastor.". I miss the days when every pastor seemed to me like only a few do now... Charles Stanley and John MacArthur come to mind. And I'm not that old. What the heck happened?

Thanks for posting the video with this. I would not have believed this if there wasn't video proof. I'm...haunted.

Will this "proud mama" keep the unborn safe?

I couldn't help but notice this was presented in front of a garbage can.

I belong to a conservative Lutheran denomination. I wish ELCA would not call themselves Lutheran. They are becoming too removed from solid Lutheran teaching. Enlightening creative insight should build from solid theology, not the mush I read from some ELCA theologians – theologians who seem to be trying to impress their listeners with novelty. A creative dancer needs a solid floor on which to dance. ELCA's floor is getting soft.

Dear God, what next! There are no words to convey my disgust and horror at the path the ELCA has chosen to go down! My parents (Daddy was an LCA pastor in the 1950s and 1960s) are turning over in their graves! I would not be surprised, in the least, to hear that the ELCA is connected to Pizzagate, either!

It would be better never to have been born, than to teach this non-Christian dun.
