Meet Luther Seminary‘s “queer theologian“ (as the seminary sells off its buildings)

Below is a new video by Luther Seminary‘s “queer theologian“, Cody Sanders, or, as he calls himself here, “a queer Baptist.“

Luther Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, my alma mater, hired Sanders (a man with a “husband”) about three years ago. Sanders made a presentation at Luther promoting his book “LGBTQ+ Religious Stress-Trauma and the Complex Beauty of Queer Faith”. Sanders preached at Luther Seminary’s Holy Communion chapel service on Acts chapter 8, the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch. Sanders said the eunuch had a “genderqueer body” and then used him to preach LGBT inclusion. Not a word, of course, about the Bible’s teaching that homosexual behavior is sinful, instead the sermon twisted Scripture to get the Bible to say something it doesn’t. To use the eunuch in Acts chapter 8 to justify LGBT behavior is, to put it mildly, a leap.

When I graduated from Luther Seminary years ago, it was moderate to liberal. Today it is radical. Luther Seminary is now having to sell off all its buildings and move elsewhere because of dwindling attendance and finances. I believe the godly Scandinavian Lutherans who founded Luther Seminary in the late 1800’s would be aghast to see what their seminary has become.

In Christ,

The Anthropological Lie of "Same-Sex Marriage”
-- https://christoverall.com/article/concise/the-anthropological-lie-of-same-sex-marriage/

[ . . .]As Scripture is the Christian’s highest authority, that alone would suffice to explain the prohibition of homosexuality and same-sex “marriage.” . . .

First, homosexuality is an antithesis to the good of marriage and family life since it is oriented toward neither of these. Homosexual couplings are by nature non-generative and thus non-marital by design. When same sex couples pursue children, they are pursuing them as a reality extrinsic to what their relationship really is: fruitless. . . .Homosexuality is thus inherently sterilized sex by nature at odds with the body and sexuality’s essential purpose—procreation.

Second, homosexuality dishonors the body’s design by violating the organization of the body as a reproductive structure. As J. Budziszewski writes, “when a man puts the part of himself that represents new life into the cavity of another man that represents decay and expulsion, at the most basic of all possible levels he is saying ‘Life, be swallowed in death.’”[J. Budziszewski, What We Can’t Not Know: A Guide, Revised and Expanded Edition (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2011), 93.] Such a stark statement vividly captures the moral repugnance of homosexual sodomy that Paul echoes in Romans 1:24–27.

Third, following from the previous statement, homosexuality is a repudiation of creation order and the generativity that is required for society’s continuation. It represents the apotheosis or culmination of an inverted creation mandate, where instead of fruitful sex meant to serve creation, sex is turned back toward the service of the self alone. Homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” do not serve the common good and in fact frustrate its fulfillment by teaching falsehood regarding what counts as human flourishing. Children in these arrangements are commodities trafficked by a regulatory regime that denies the child their natural right to their mother or father.

Fourth and relatedly, homosexuality is an idolatrous self-worship that collapses creational distinctions for the disordered love of similarly-sexed persons instead of love being directed toward “the other.”

Fifth, Scripture speaks condemningly of every instance of homosexuality within its pages (See for example, Gen. 19:1–13; Lev. 18:22; Lev 20:13; Rom. 1:18–32; 1 Cor. 6:9–11; 1 Tim. 1:8–11; Jude 1:7). Even if reason and logic were not available to confirm the problem with homosexuality, Scripture’s prohibition would be sufficient to justify its condemnation. And critically, such prohibitions are not clobber texts, picked at random. Rather, the whole tenor of Scripture frames marriage as an institution between man and woman. This is true in the beginning with Adam and Eve, in the Law of Moses, or in culmination of marriage—the union of Christ and his bride, the Church.

Pressing the point further, Scripture affirms the natural law’s evaluation of homosexuality as a misuse of the body. In Romans 1:26, Paul specifically identifies the fruitlessness of sodomy as “contrary to nature.” . . .

I graduated 25+ years ago when 1k+ were on a thriving campus but now a ghost town. It has completely given itself over to the radical agenda of political activists. Basically Marxism repackaged. This has caused the flagship Lutheran seminary of the Midwest to rightfully implode. Revelation 2:5.
