Why is my gaydar going off?
Leftists take over everything, including churches. No one is trying to eradicate transgenders.
Another article says she is transgender - and with a name like Micah and sort of looking like a male I would say it is a woman trying to be a male. (Although Micah is also a woman’s name). I don’t care.
And while I would agree that death threats or violence against anybody that is not directly a threat is wrong, the comparison to Christ is really reaching it.
I’ll let God figure out their judgement.
Psalm 37
Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture....
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil....
The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming....
This is what a real MAN OF GOD writes for Palm Sunday and Holy Week:
“As the Great Fast comes to a close and we enter with Christ into his journey to the cross, the grave, and his third - day resurrection, I waant to encourage all of us to enter with a spirit of humility before the One who was exalted as the triumphal king on Palm Sunday, and then was “despised and rejected by men” (Is . 53: 3) just a few days later . This humble king, whose triumphal entry was astride a donkey’ s colt, leads us through the trials of Holy Week not with boastful words or demonstrations of his kingly power, but with a willing spirit that prays
“nevertheless, not as I will , but as You will.” (Mt. 26:39) The events of Palm Sunday and the successive days of Holy Week are not a deviation from the will of God, but instead are to the glory of Christ God who willing lays down his life for his friends (Jn. 15:13), and then takes it up again (Jn. 10:17 - 18) leaving behind an empty tomb on the eighth day, the inauguration of the
new creation.
As much as at any other time, these days are for our salvation through which we are set free from
bondage to sin, death, and the devil, and are enlivened through a growing communion with our humble and all-victorious King.“ And let us not forget that which Paul delivered, declaring it to the Corinthians; I mean His resurrection, whereby ‘He destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil ( Hebrews 2:14 ) ;’ and raised us up together with Him, having loosed the bands of
death, and vouchsafed a blessing instead of a curse,joy instead of grief, a feast instead of mourning . ”
( St. Athanasius the Great, Letter 2 .7)
“ O come, all ye faithful, let us adore Christ’s holy resurrection. For lo, through the cross is joy come into all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, let us sing His resurrection, for in that He endured the cross for us, He hath destroyed death by death. ”
Yours in the Crucified and Risen Christ,

Oh, *now* I understand.
As a former ELCA pastor who escaped onto the Missouri Synod clergy roster, even I did not foresee that happening so quickly.
That’s not what the Bible says. Matthew 24 say: “...to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”
But if it were possible to lead them astray, then they wouldn’t be the elect.
“Martin Lutheran”
His friends just called him Martin Luther ;)
Church of the "TRANSfiguration"!
Its been three days ... no sign of the perp.
Seems to be a she.
So, I 'll amend my statement to I hope it loses its entire congregation. But hey, perhaps the whole congregation is made up of its.
