Popular ELCA Minister Flips-off "Masterpiece Cake Shop" for Its Traditional Marriage Stance

1/30/2020

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's (ELCA) beloved and notorious pastor, author and speaker continues to show the world why to stay away from ELCA pastors and their churches.

A couple of days ago, ELCA Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber sent out this Tweet,

Masterpiece Cake Shop, which made national news, is the business that was taken to court for not baking a cake, and thereby not endorsing, celebrating and participating in, a same-sex wedding.

The Tweet, which looks to have been taken down by Rev. Bolz-Weber, has caused an uproar, even bringing some criticism from people who support the radical pastor (see here).

If you do not know a whole lot about ELCA Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber, we have a collection of information about this pastor who is admired by many ELCA bishops. (see here)

My 12 step meeting is literally next door to Masterpiece Cake Shop (of anti-gay fame) so as an act of resistance I always choose to take up their best parking spaces. It’s the little things...□□ pic.twitter.com/eqn2nVX439

I belong to the 12-step program this person does (different state), and NOWHERE in that divinely inspired program is this level of anger and hate encouraged or condoned.

To attend a meeting where love and tolerance of others is the creed, then to flip the bird to someone you disagree with and proudly take up prime parking (presumably to hurt their business...somehow?) is a level of pettiness I can't wrap my head around.

This woman is simply not living the steps, which is not a promising sign for long-term sobriety.

Take your pick, ELCA member. Whose theology will you heed?

** 'Sex and the Single Pastor' -- https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/pastrix-nadia-bolz-weber-sex/

"The thing that strikes me most about Bolz-Weber’s theology is how utterly trite it is, and how perfectly suited it is to our therapeutic culture. Wow, the pro-abortion lady pastor who divorced her children’s father and started having robustly hydraulic sex with a man not her husband is telling Christians that chastity isn’t cool, and that God wants them to indulge in guilt-free getting-off. That’s just about the least radical thing that a pastor could say to American culture in 2019, isn’t it? She’s the left-wing version of a prosperity gospel preacher, peddling the sanctifying power of lust as surely as her right-wing counterparts peddle the sanctifying power of greed."

** Martin Luther (on John 3:16): “What the Lord Christ wants first & foremost is your heart—a heart that believes in him alone..When you believe in Christ, your heart becomes clean..You will act differently than before. Faith won’t permit you to be a sinner, fornicator, or adulterer any longer. So your entire life will reflect what’s in your heart.” (LW, 22:374)

Can our civilization survive if there's no cake at gay weddings?

Officially resigned from the ELCA yesterday. More affirmation I did the right thing. Better late than never

Scott,

Welcome to the light brother!

I left my ELCA church in June of 2019. I still miss my local pastor and many of the good folks that attend there even now, but every time the ELCA releases one of the silly "statements" or they make the news somehow, it only re-enforces that I made the right decision.

The horrific updated abortion stance of the ELCA as presented last spring was the final straw for me, but in the case of Weber, I can't help but wonder if it would be possible to put a number on how many folks have left largely because of this one so-called "pastor"? She is a train wreck.

Train wreck indeed! The ELCA has invested so much into universal acceptance of anyone and anything that they seem unable to call her out for her despicable behavior. Strange how they can accept her, but not those who oppose abortion on demand or those who are not on board with the celebration of homosexual behavior.

And despite declaring in August '09 that they would respect every member's "bound conscience," the ELCA brooks no dissenters to the apostasies (especially sexual sins) they preach and practice.

They're the embodiment of 1 Peter 4:3-4: "For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles [and ELCA clerical pagans] want to do, living in sensuality, passions,... and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you…”

Predictably, Martin Luther destroyed the ELCA’s “bound conscience” burlesque: “God wants our conscience to be certain and sure that it is pleasing to Him. This cannot be done if the conscience is led by its own feelings, but only if it relies on the Word of God.”
