Pastor compares Christian school shooter's trans identity to Jesus' crucifixion
Workd Net Daily ^ | 4 April A.D. 2023 | Kate Anderson

A Lutheran pastor appeared to compare Jesus’ crucifixion with the transgender Nashville school shooter in a sermon delivered just days after the attack.

Pastor Micah Louwagie, who leads the St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Fargo, North Dakota, delivered a sermon on Palm Sunday discussing Jesus’ crucifixion and how it was “baffling” that “someone’s existence can be so threatening” that they should be killed. Louwagie then claimed that those who point to 28-year-old Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale’s transgender identity as a potential motive for the shooting are calling for the “eradication of trans folks” just like those who called for Jesus’ death.

“The chief priests and the whole counsel were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death, those leaders were looking for any excuse, valid or not, to crucify Jesus,” Louwagie said. “They would kill the one whose reputation as a teacher and healer and whose mission of love and dignity was so very threatening to their own reputation that they needed to kill him in order to preserve their own good image. There are a significant number of people who have deemed that the fact that the Nashville shooter happened to be a trans person, so it’s been reported, is just the excuse they need to call for the eradication of trans folks.”

Louwagie later went on to criticize the lack of focus on “gun violence” and that “six people were dead.” The pastor said that the desire to cause “harm” to certain communities “has happened before,” citing the Holocaust, Japanese internment camps during World War II, racial segregation and “migrants being held in cages.”

Don’t recall Jesus killing innocents before he was crucified.

Sick. Now the murderer is taken to be a saint and martyr, or even like Christ.

One TINY fact this “Pastor” seems to have overlooked:

Jesus didn’t go around murdering children…

The world, and many of the churches, are going stark raving mad. Include this pastor on the list.

The female creature/shooter was a cold-blooded mass murderer, nothing more. It was good that the cops took her down.

Somebody should have stood up and said that was blasphemy. Say it to his/her face. Call them a heretic then shake the dust of the place off their feet as they leave.

I hope he loses his entire congregation. That is a toxic church.

"whose mission of love and dignity"

There's the problem right there. Jesus' mission was NOT one of 'love and dignity' - it was to die for our sins so that we don't have to.

Guessing it’s a female trying to convince others “it” is a male, but who knows.

discussing Jesus’ crucifixion and how it was “baffling” that “someone’s existence can be so threatening” that they should be killed.

Maybe this moron can explain how the nine year old children and senior citizens attending school inside a locked building were SO THREATENING that a transexual felt the need to kill them. Comparing a mass child murderer being shot down in mid-spree to the crucifixion of Jesus is the most offensive thing I have read in a long time. This bastard needs to resign and shut his blaspheming mouth.
