Augsburg University Commencement Has Prayer to Allah

6/3/2022

5 Comments

 
The 2022 commencement service at the ELCA's Augsburg University contained a prayer in the name of Allah. Just before that the University Pastor and Director of Campus Ministries refers to the “Holy and divine one, you are known and called by many names. . .”  Jesus was not mentioned. (watch starting at the 21-minute mark)

Truly our God is patient and merciful. He is allowing these people to hang themselves with their words and actions. I pray for God to do whatever He has to do to redeem deceived hearts and minds.

The ELCA is both Heretic and Apostate!!!!!! They are selling Everyone some Way Ticket to Hell. False teachings that there are many gods and Goddesses that I've s the Hallmark of Uni eralism. You can be Athiest, or Agnostic people, or just get Hooverd in by the ELCA teaching that the Bible is God's word is nothing but make up Fairy Tales and full of Magical Thinking, and then there is the War being waged by Women and son Men, against All Men and Boys. This war is being fought to put men in their place, Which is out of the church! The rev.Will Gafney, a female, who masquerades as a man male person, it is Willameanah. an Episcopal heretic who thought at Gettysburg Theological Lutheran Seminary. Dr. Will teaches and believes that both The Holy Spirit and Jesus are female, which is hard to swallow, because 8 days after he was born, He was given the name Yesuha, Jesus in English, a very popular and common name, not for girls, but BOYS. And He was Circumcised. so Dr. Will is talking Theological BullShit! According to a recent study by the elca, by a Luther seminary professor, the ELCA will be dead, within 7 years. I give the ELCA 4 years. The shortage of pastors is epidemic! The retirement and Death of Rica pastors is the writing on the wall of death and doom! Oh, if your parish has not changed their constitution, if you vote to close your parish, everything property and all financial assets go to the elca. Millions of dollars into the ELCA church coffers. This corruption of the church is more dangerous and deadly that it was 500 plus years ago. Martin Luther would start another Reformation!!! I was an American Lutheran Church Ordained Pastor, then an ElCA Pastor. Beware of the elca. They don't care!! But you can fight the evil ELCA. Just ask me how. Email: therevmichaelesimonds@gmail.com

Why shouldn't a Lutheran university have Muslim chaplains who offer prayers to Allah and read from the Koran at graduation? Aren't all religions the same anyway?

(Sorry for resorting to sarcasm.)

"Although the whole world has sought painstakingly to learn what God is and what he thinks and does, yet it has never succeeded in the least.... As we explained before, we could never come to recognize the Father's favor and grace were it not for the Lord Christ, who is a mirror of the Father's heart. Apart from him we see nothing but an angry and terrible Judge.... These articles of the Creed, therefore, divide and distinguish us Christians from all other people on earth. All who are outside the Christian church, whether heathen, Turks, Jews, or false Christians and hypocrites, even though they believe in and worship only the one, true God, nevertheless do not know what his attitude is toward them. They cannot be confident of his love and blessing. Therefore they remain in eternal wrath and damnation, for they do not have the Lord Christ, and, besides, they are not illuminated and blessed by the gifts of the Holy Spirit."

(THE LARGE CATECHISM, Second Part [The Creed], sections 63, 65, 66) [Tappert, p.419]

This at a "Lutheran" ELCA college:

The Augsburg University Pastor and Director of Campus Ministries refers to the “Holy and divine one, you are known and called by many names. . .” She quotes a verse from Psalm 118. She never once names the Name of Jesus.

The giver of the second invocation, the Assistant Director of the Augsburg Interfaith Institute [syncretism is obviously a big priority at woke Augsburg], quotes verbatim verses in the Koran (first in Arabic and then in English) and — unlike the mealy-mouthed Augsburg campus pastor — is not the least bit reticent to publicly name and extol her god. Excerpt from her invocation: “…In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the lord of the universe, the most gracious, the most merciful, the owner of the day of judgment. You alone we do worship; you alone we turn to for help. Guide us to the straight path . . . “

Think of the matching Scripture-only invocation the Augsburg campus pastor could have given if only she had Christian conviction:
"In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.”

Jesus has a word for "Lutheran" Augsburg: "If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” [Mark 8:38]
