Tuhina Tweets: A Look into Someone the ELCA Lifts Up

8/17/2021

ELCA pastor Tuhina Verma Rasche is someone who has been lifted up and placed in teaching positions by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. In 2020 Rev. Rasche was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the 2020 ELCA Young Adult Discernment Retreat (see on the right) and in the past has spoken to 30,000 ELCA youth at the national ELCA Youth Gathering.

It is important for you to see the kind of people ELCA leadership is placing in positions of authority, who they want instructing their members and leaders. Below are social media posts by Rev. Rasche. Read more about her here, including her F*** This S*** devotional, and her using God's name as a cuss word here.

Goddamn, whiteness is a hell of a drug. https://t.co/8ZQWU3evYp

Hey, God.

Thanks for accepting "God damn it" as a complete and honest prayer.

Amen.

Dear Speaker Pelosi, how about overtly stating #IStandWithIlhan, because the white nationalist rhetoric being used by 45 is putting her life in danger? https://t.co/SfcDV7JvnO

I went out for a walk between Zoom meetings. There was an old white man wearing a Trump 2024 hat eating at… a Mexican restaurant.

Asshat.

Are you critiquing Antifa and weren't in Berkeley today?

Then also talk about Berkeley PD armed & ready to go on peaceful protestors.

Lifting up in prayer those gathering in Berkeley to stand up to white supremacist Nazis.

House meeting last night with different organizations & faith communities.

The marginalized faith communities had a common thread: how do we keep our people safe in the vulnerability of worship when White Christian Supremacy is out to literally kill us?

On #GivingTuesday, the seminary from which I graduated highlighted older white cishet voices. Because of the lack of equity in representation of of the church catholic, my alma mater will not be receiving my donation.

If you are "Christian" & agree with #MuslimBan2, your religion is if Caesar & Empire, not of Christ.

Keeping the Main Things the Main Things
by Robert Benne

-- https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2021/08/keeping-the-main-things-the-main-things

"If I profess, with the loudest voice and the clearest exposition, every portion of the truth of God except precisely those points which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christianity. Where the battle rages the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battle-field besides is mere flight and disgrace to him if he flinches at that one point."

This quote is attributed to Martin Luther, though it is probably apocryphal. To paraphrase what it means: We would all agree that we are to “confess Christianity,” to proclaim and teach the gospel—the whole Trinitarian faith. But not all of the main things of the faith are under duress at all times. For instance, the world may think the Nicene Creed is simply a fantasy, but it is not specifically attacking the Nicene Creed. Right now the world is attacking other claims of the faith. If we ignore these attacks, we may be failing to prove our loyalty where the battle is raging.

Three of the main things the world...

[and world-appeasing, useful-idiot denominations like the ELCA]

...is relentlessly attacking right now are Christian sexual ethics, the sanctity of life, and evangelism.

[… ]The final main thing I wish to address is evangelism. I will never forget a lecture I once heard by a former director of Global Missions for the Evangelical Church of America, to which I used to belong. In her lecture, she recounted the sins—mostly regarding “colonialism”—of previous generations of missionaries. After listing each sin, she led a chorus of new bureaucrats in chanting: Never again, never again. Soon after that meeting, the ELCA formally gave up pioneer missionary work (“pioneer” missions being missions to those who have never heard the gospel) in favor of “accompaniment,” or helping already established churches in other countries. Instead of evangelizing those of other religions, we were to dialogue with them.

I am not against accompaniment or respectful dialogue; but I find it shocking that a church would forswear pioneer evangelism—brazenly “dismissing the Great Commission as a symbol of the past,” as my old friend Jim Scherer put it. The Great Commission is the command of Jesus himself.

The faithful still support pioneer missionaries at home and abroad; I am proud that my own church body, the North American Lutheran Church, does so. But make no mistake: These ventures will continue to be attacked in the future. According to our culture, evangelism—in other words, acting upon the conviction that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—does not honor diversity, inclusivity, or equity.

The world today is relentlessly attacking the faith on three particular fronts: the Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, the Christian commitment to the sanctity of life, and the Christian duty to evangelize the nations. These are core commitments of Christian faith and life. They are main things. Let us keep them main things.

What a "piece of work" this person is! Looks like one positive thing about "Covid" was that the 2020 ELCA Adult Retreat was cancelled & delegates didn't need to waste their $$ attending & listening to her!

Note the extra-biblical -- and unbiblical -- underpinnings of Rasche’s punctiliously woke fulminations. They slavishly toe the rhetorical line decreed by the religion of Wokianity, and they're straight out of the unholy writ of the Democrat Party, Planned Parenthood, BLM, CNN, and her own shrinking denomination, the First Solipsistic Church of the Divine Me.

Adam Clarke, 19th century British theologian and biblical scholar, described hirelings like Tuhina Rasche:

“This is a striking feature of the city of London in the present day. The itch for news, which generally argues a worldly, shallow, or unsettled mind, is wonderfully prevalent: even ministers of the Gospel, negligent of their sacred function, are become in this sense Athenians [cf. Acts 17]; so that the book of God is neither read nor studied with half the avidity and spirit as a newspaper…It is no wonder if such become political preachers, and their sermons be no better than husks for swine. To such the hungry sheep look up, and are not fed.”

As this fake administration continues to unravel with Afghanistan and the many other disasters they have foisted on this nation, so will this fake denomination unravel.
