Nonbinary ELCA Seminary Student's Devotional

9/27/2019

3 Comments

 
In a recent series of "Lenton Devotionals of LGBTQIA+ Lutherans," Micah Louwagie shared her "devotional" which in part said,
​
"My journey of coming out as nonbinary has been a journey of discovering the life that my bones hold, and of realizing that this life is good and holy. Living into my identity has been a breath of fresh air, a renewal of the spirit in my bones. The bones I once feared were too worn and weary to carry me any farther still have plenty of life left in them. God bless these beautiful queer bones." (See here​)

"Nonbinary gender is an umbrella term to describe any gender identity that does not fit into the genderbinary of male and female." (See here)

"Micah is pursuing a Master of Divinity at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota." (See here) Lutheran Seminary is a school of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. 

This is the state of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) Celebrates 10 Years of Being LGBT Approving (RIC)

9/1/2019

2 Comments

 
Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) celebrated their 10th anniversary of becoming a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) seminary. The first ELCA seminary to do so. 

Reconciling in Christ is a designation that means they have "made a public commitment to welcome, include and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people." (See here)

Anyone wonder what Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary is teaching their students?

ELCA Seminarian Courtney Smith

1 Comment

 
Courtney Smith is "a graduate student at United Lutheran Seminary (formerly Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia and Gettysburg), studying for my Masters of Divinity...(and is) on the ordination track in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) to become a pastor." (See here)

Here is some of what she has been saying on Twitter:

​

Fact check: Jerusalem is the Capitol of Israel. 

Don’t tell me you care about the Middle East if you don’t think Palestine should be free and lifted from oppression #SOTU2019

America is not first in my heart and it never will be. It is merely the country I live in. My faith and my God are first in my heart. #SOTU2019

Future ELCA pastor Courtney Smith says "America is not first in my heart and it never will be. It is merely the country I live in."

Land of the free? Only if you’re a straight white male...

— Courtney Smith (@cdsmith421) July 4, 2019

I love when our churches replace two kick ass women with an old straight white male. Can we please move forward and not backward in 2019?

— Courtney Smith (@cdsmith421) May 30, 2019

Two tweets aimed at "straight white males."

​Now for some of her politics:

So you’re going against nuclear disarmament and you’re going to bring about nuclear war on the world. Tell me how this is going to end well. #SOTU2019

Don’t bring God into this. Separation of church and state. I don’t want to hear your civil religion. #SOTU2019 #civilreligion

DONT. TELL. ME. WHAT. TO. DO. WITH. MY. BODY. Full stop. End of discussion. #SOTU2019

— Courtney Smith (@cdsmith421) February 6, 2019

Build bridges not walls. It didn’t work well in Germany. It’s not working well in Palestine. If we are supposed to be a great country, why do you think it will work here. Don’t do it. #SOTU2019

— Courtney Smith (@cdsmith421) February 6, 2019

So, I’m a pastoral kinda person, but what happened to that separation of church and state? https://t.co/dhulS5ZdUK

Spotlight on an ELCA Seminary Student

6/11/2019

2 Comments

 
What kind of pastor is the ELCA producing? And what kind of person is seeking ordination in the ELCA? Good questions all ELCA churches should ask.

A person's social media account will often tell a lot about a person. Jacob Krueger is a student at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Wartburg Theological Seminary who is active on social media.  Here is some of what he is saying on Twitter.

Christmas isn’t about the individual. It is about the community. Jesus, a refugee and non-white person, came into this world to liberate us from our sin sin of unjustly treating the refugee, our sin of killing those on death row, and many more. You should talk to your bishop

Attacking America and Israel

5/25/2019

1 Comment

 
Elle Dowd is a student at the ELCA's Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. Two recent Facebook post by this student are posted below. The first contains a picture of Elle in or near Israel with a head covering and a closed fist up in the air. Part of her comments with this picture were:

"Our US tax dollars fund an occupation that is violently enforced, including the use of the same chemical weapons against the Palestinians that we choked on in St Louis during the uprising."
Picture

"Free Palestine.

​
From Ferguson to Palestine, occupation is a crime."

You should read the whole post because not only does it proclaim a lie, saying Israel occupies "Palestine," but she makes no mention of the violence, terror tunnels, arson, knifing, rockets attacks and pedestrians being hit by cars, perpetrated by Palestinians.
​

(See here) 

The second Facebook post by ELCA Masters of Divinity student Elle Dowd equally contains falsehoods. She writes: 
​
"...Michael Brown was sacrificed to the false god of white supremacy."

"...we sacrificed Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin and Felipe Alonzo-Gomez to the false gods of nationalism and security."

​"...Christian counseling centers...torture lgbtqia+ children and call it 'reparative therapy,' leading to the death of countless children."

'Parent' of our Lord Jesus Christ

3/7/2019

1 Comment

 
"Blessed be the God and [Parent] of our Lord Jesus Christ..."

That is what an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) seminary wrote when announcing the death of two people connected with the seminary. They replaced "Father" with "Parent."

Jesus called God "Father." Why is this ELCA seminary not content using the same name for God that the Lord Jesus Christ did?

The ELCA's Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) Providing Condoms?

3/4/2019

1 Comment

 
From the sound and look of this tweet, by seminarian Kevin Beebe (in 2016), Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary may have been providing condoms to their seminary students. Mr. Beebe writes, "#PLTS caring about sexual health and resources for assault and abuse. @ELCA @ELCAYoungAdults #theologyinpractice". Then he posted a picture of a basket full of condoms and brochures.

'A More Inclusive and Loving Church'

2/22/2019

2 Comments

 
Below is a Facebook post that the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC), an ELCA seminary, shared. Under the homosexual rainbow banner, the prayer addresses the United Methodist Church (UMC), which will be voting on allowing homosexual weddings and practicing ordained homosexuals. The prayer talks about "being a more inclusive and loving church." 

And read the second paragraph. The ELCA continues to push their LGBTQ supportive narrative on its membership and give no credence or equal time to the Biblical view on homosexuality and marriage. 

How can anyone, who believes the Biblical view of marriage and homosexuality, feel welcome in a denomination that sees this traditional view as wrong, unloving and hurtful? 


​Below is a tweet by ELCA Pastor Lenny Duncan, with a "like" from ELCA Pastor Emily Scott, regarding the United Methodist Church (UMC).

ELCA Pastor-To-Be Posting anti-Trump, Anti-Israel and Pro LGBT Comments

1/10/2019

0 Comments

 
​Kevin Beebe is an ELCA "Pastor-to-Be" studying at the ELCA's Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary. He loves to post LGBT supportive information, Palestinian propaganda against Israel, and anti-Trump materials on social media. This is the type of pastor the ELCA has, and is producing to lead your congregation. 

Picture

The ELCA seminarian supports the BDS movement, which advocates boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel, as you see below.  
​
Picture

Here future pastor Beebe complains about Israel building an underground wall to prevent Palestinian terrorist tunnels used to invade and kill Israelis. That is mind-numbing stupid.  

Time to stop this violence from occupying soldiers. End the Israeli occupation. Looking at you, @realDonaldTrump. Stop defunding hospitals and schools, rather stop selling guns to Israel.https://t.co/c0mO9okTRQ

— Kevin Beebe (@kevbeebe) October 13, 2018

When God's people are supposed to multiply, why do we let the children die? #FreePalestine #refugees #asylum #godspromise #adventhope

— Kevin Beebe (@kevbeebe) December 16, 2018

If globalism is bad, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, then how about we stop our activity in one of largest ways the USA contributes: arms sales. Stop selling weapons around the world, particularly to occupying nations like Israel.

— Kevin Beebe (@kevbeebe) September 26, 2018

Even if you don't think it is your fault, @realDonaldTrump @POTUS, it is your responsibility as President of the United States to offer words of calm, unity, and peace. #growup

— Kevin Beebe (@kevbeebe) October 29, 2018

Stop calling the press the #EnemyOfThePeople @realDonaldTrump! You're only proving you can't responsibility for creating a heated atmosphere which promotes shooting of Black people, Jews, reporters, and sending bombs in the mail... https://t.co/EA1LSowwkX

— Kevin Beebe (@kevbeebe) October 29, 2018

Some of us are guilty of not listening to the stories. God, have mercy on us who are white #decolonizeLutheranism

​Finally, a post sharing the vile devotional made by two ELCA pastors. (language warning)
