Cancel culture at its worst: Haas receives the Kavanaugh treatment and is guilty until proven innocent.

“Gender-based violence”?

Does this include women who assault men, or even mutilate their genitals?

What about abusive partners in same sex relationships?

Do they get a free pass?

Many mommas physically abuse their children and some even kill them.

But we are always told that there would be no wars if women ran the world.

What difference does the character of a writer make on the quality of a hymn? If it’s a good hymn—if the writer is a sinner or not, so what?

Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

Bingo!

Three days ago the Orthodox Church Commemorated St. Nektarios of Pentopolis, the wonder-worker and in many congregations his beautiful hymn Agni Parthene was sung.

During his lifetime this Saint faced many false accusations but the Final Judge has declared him AXIOS (worthy!)

This is really weird. Even if Haas turned out to be a serial killer, does that make the songs any different? I’m glad if the songs are never sung again, but all these revelations do is confirm that yes, they do come from a diseased and wicked soul.

There’s a lot of mediocre or bad music/lyrics/theology out there written by really solid Christians and there’s some really good, theologically sound music written by some with whacked out theology. God seems to be able to use both.

Perhaps the screenwriters took liberties, but anyone who has watched “Amadeus” could not help but conclude that the composer of “Ave Verum Corpus” had a diseased and wicked soul.

“Blessed are they” is one of the finest 20th century settings of the Beatitudes...and nothing about Haas’s character can take that away.

No disagreement, FRiend.

Many of their false shepherd “Bishops” have advocated ignoring Our Lord’s command “Do this in remembrance of Me” until there is “a safe and effective vaccine”!!!

“Gender-based violence”?

Bingo!

It appears that the author has defined "gender-based violence" to mean any crime involving people who have an identifiable gender.

The ELCA got it right on this guy. He’s an absolute monster. Broken clock is right twice a day.

Some of the best Christian music was written by Bob Dylan.

I admit I don’t know the first thing about this. Maybe you do.
