9/3/2020

9 Comments

 
ELCA Bishop Michael Rinehart is a social justice warrior and loves the internet.  He is the bishop of the ELCA's Gulf Coast Synod. 

Let's learn more about Bishop Rinehart by checking out some of his social media posts. As you can see, he loves marching for his favorite liberal social justice causes.

Basking in the world's praises: the ELCA lives for them. Just as it lives to eradicate every vestige of confessional Lutheranism in its ranks on its descent into extinction.

S. M. Hutchens understands the malign cause of speech-muzzling coercion by today’s sexual pagans, both secularists and churchgoing "progressives": "What assertive homosexuality wants of Christianity is something it can never have. The movement for rights it claims to have been denied by traditionalist societies is not the deepest part of its quest, which is for approval by those who regard it as sinful -- which is at root approval by God. It cannot place high value on the approbation of 'welcoming' churches, for it understands perfectly well that liberal religion, with its vaunted inclusivism, has no more moral authority to gratify it in this regard than a prostitute has to absolve her patrons. So the public homosexual is in the impossible situation of seeking approval in places where he can only find forgiveness, among those who are obliged to tell him, "It is written. . . ."

"This insistence fixes him in frustration and anger against those who hold to biblical religion, and may be relied upon to assure development of justifications for the punishment of the illiberal religions wherever homosexualism wins the power to do it." [S. M. Hutchens in the November-December 2011 issue of Touchstone Magazine: A Journal of Mere Christianity

If he was honest, he would voluntarily give up his Bishop's miter to a black transgendered woman. He isn't woke enough to do that...

Why would he ever put his money where the ELCA's mouth is when he's having so much fun riding the wave of public adulation into his denomination's extinction: "...the ELCA’s Office of Research and Evaluation predicts that by 2041, it will dwindle to 67,000 members."

It likely won't take until 2041 to sink below 67,000 especially with the churches dealing with the issues of the virus problems & limited in-person worship. Soon the ELCA will not need all these "enlightened Bishops" so they can consolidate their areas. "Will the last ELCA congregation please remember to turn off the lights when you close your doors!"

Crazy Joe Biden did a town hall at Grace Lutheran in Kenosha. The pastor at that very liberal church is a HUGE supporter of the Green New Deal. His name is “Rev” Jonathan Barker. He is so insane that he once did a public 12-day fast in support of The Green New Deal

https://www.kenoshanews.com/news/local/local-pastor-begins-12-day-fast-in-support-of-green-new-deal/article_bc0aa4e5-77fc-5aac-bb5e-982759090ca4.html

Anyone else remember those three ELCA pastors that rode their bikes across America to support “the environment” and even published a “green letter bible” that had all the allegedly “pro-environment“ verses in green letter? Notice that none of these pastors spend their time spreading the gospel. Only promoting secular lies.

After reading the link to the pastors activities it makes sense why it was held at this church. Since everyone is going to heaven anyway & some of our ELCA leadership says there may not be a hell or it is empty so perhaps the only people that will be going to hell in a hand basket are the people who won't buy into the Green New Deal to save the planet

If these nitwit pastors would read Hannity’s latest book, they would know that American households, footing the bill for the Green New Deal can expect to pay $70k per household for the first year of it. $45k per year for the next 4 years. Then, $37k per year for every year after that. That doesn’t include their current taxes, nor does it include paying for everyone’s “free” govt health care (incl illegals), nor does it include paying for everyone’s “free” college. The collection plates will get pretty bare!!!!

Right! It’s ridiculous. My response to these libs, like AOC and Greta “How dare you” Thunberg, is simply Genesis 8:22...

God promised Noah (and all of us) “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night SHALL NOT CEASE.”

Tribulations are coming, but they have nothing to do with climate change. Like the plagues in Egypt, God will be in full control of these things and promises deliverance for his flock.

I personally believe in pre-trib rapture, but even if that didn’t happen, I know that I can endure any tribulation because I am saved. Like the lamb’s blood upon the door posts, the saved will be covered by the blood of Christ to deliver us through all tribulations.
