Paying For and Promoting the Heresy of Nadia Bolz-Weber

1/5/2014

6 Comments

 
Exposing the ELCA has documented for you, numerous times, the false teachings of high profile ELCA pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. Scroll through the articles here to read about it. Even with this information so readily available and apparent, the ELCA continues to lift up this pastor.

The Northeastern Iowa Synod (ELCA) has given a grant to fund the appearance of Rev. Bolz-Weber this month in Iowa, and they are promoting her appearance in the synod's newsletter. (see here – page 5) They are spending your money to fund someone who believes the goddess of Wicca is just another aspect of our God (see here). I would not be happy if I was in the Northeastern Iowa Synod.

And just a few days ago the Southeastern Synod ELCA posted this on their Facebook page -

“Happy New Year! Over the Christmas holiday, I read Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner and Saint, by Nadia Bolz-Weber. It was a quick and thought-provoking read. Quick because I couldn't put it down and thought-provoking because Nadia's honesty and straight talk about grace and her experience in the church (throughout her life) gives me hope for Christ's church. She paints a picture of resurrection and of God's promise of faithfulness to all of God's children that so many need to hear. Definitely a book to share, not to put on the shelf! If you read this book, share your thoughts. What good books have you read lately?

Michelle Angalet, AIM
Assistant to the Bishop
Southeastern Synod ELCA”

One ELCA pastor responding to the Facebook message said “Many in my congregation have read it as well after I mentioned it in a sermon,” while another ELCA pastor writes, “Read Pastrix over Christmas as well... highly recommend it. I've gifted it to several folks.”

If you want to read the latest publicity surrounding Bolz-Weber, an article by NPR talks about the ELCA pastor officiating at civil union ceremonies and the beloved pastor displays her foul language for all to observe. (see here)

ELCA Feminists 'R' Us masculine pronoun pogrom alert! ". . .of God's promise of faithfulness to all of God's children. . ." Michelle Angalet practices the lessons Michelle Angelet has learned from Michelle Angelet's ELCA leaders, who've taught Michelle Angelet that Michelle Angelet should sedulously avoid using any masculine pronouns in Michelle Angelet's reviews of Michelle Angelet-endorsed books.

Is it possible for the ELCA to make the ELCA any more of a world-kowtowing caricature of the ELCA than the ELCA already has done? Probably. Stay tuned to Exposing the ELCA.

It reminds me so much of Orwellian Newspeak that it is almost a caricature of itself.

Just for fun: These quotes are from the January newsletter of St. John's, Summit, NJ -- the church of a friend of mine.... my personal favorite is the Choir Announcement... "God" is used 5 times.


About the Magnificat from Vicar Blake: "... my soul magnifies the Lord. 'God has done wondrous things for us and holy is God’s name.'"

From Pastor Gladys Moore: "In thanksgiving to God for you, and for the mission and ministry that God has entrusted to us for the sake of the world, I wish you all a blessed Christmas and a healthy and joyous new year."


Announcement:

Join a Choir! As 2014 begins, consider participating in a choir or ensemble (or be part of a new start-up)! The Association of Lutheran Church Musicians states that "worship is the indispensable center of the Church’s Life" and "Music in the liturgy is God’s good gift to the Church to glorify God and edify God’s people." Let your voice or instrumental talent be part of proclaiming
God’s word and sounding our praises and prayers. The opportunity to share in making great music, finding new friends, enjoying good fellowship, growing in faith, and using our talents to worship and serve God are just a few of the many reasons why serving in the music ministry is exciting!

From Luther's Large Catechism: "Since the devil is not only a liar but also a murderer, he incessantly seeks our life and vents his anger by causing accidents and injury to our bodies."

I realize in this age of supposed reason, waxing eloquent about the supernatural must seem intellectually inadequate. Invoking the presence of a literal archenemy to humanity is considered backwards in a world where we boast that our wisdom and great learning exceeds that of our Savior, His apostles, the early church fathers, and, of course, the Reformers themselves. However, I say with confidence that great harm has been wreaked upon the body of the ELCA by the satanic coils of the serpent who clearly has stalked them in order to consume this once great church. He has cornered them into a hermeneutical conundrum that, as Luther puts it, "scorns and despises the Word and the works of God, tears us away from faith, hope, and love, to draw us into disbelief, false security, and stubborness."

They have broken the First Commandment committing the greatest idolatry of all by lauding their great works in the world--their presumed inclusiveness and "works of supererogation." They have transcendentalized the virtue of biblical revision and profaned the Eucharist in order to bring a flawed sense of consolation and tolerance into a world that, honestly, openly mocks and derides our Lord and Savior. They subscribe to heretical doctrines that teach credence solely to individual beliefs rather than the resolute certainty that God alone must be trusted and revered.

Consider your iniquity. You are no better than the atheist who shrouds his god with the veil of science while communing with the elements of presumptive knowledge and a vainglorious mirror. You have breached the covenant with God deserve the penalty of eternal wrath.

The ELCA has been reduced to fools and beggars! Implore God to restore them and plead that He lead them away from wordly temptations and abandon this march into the chasm of self-importance! Prostrate yourselves once again to the one and true God who gives us all temporal and eternal blessings, so He can work through us to bring His Message to creation.
