as long as her followers do the opposite of what she says
I think she’d have a problem with the idea that she has ‘followers’.
This is what you took away from actually watching what she had and has to say? Reason I ask is that my knee-jerk reaction to her upon seeing her and hearing some out of context stuff is the same as yours.
I think she could draw people to God that other people would have no success in ever getting them to even entertaining the notion of God. Along those lines, she is tilling the same fields every Christian is called to till.
Last lines of her presentation to an ELCA youth summit this year was, “Your parents thought that getting having an alcoholic, drug-addicted, promiscuous, foul-mouthed person talk to you about God is no a good idea. Your parents would be right, however . . . .”
Historically, compared to the actions of Saul of Tarsis, Moses, David, and Solomon, Nadia Bolz-Webber’s issues are MINOR.
Saul had Christians killed by the bushel. Moses had committed murder just before God called him and his brother to lead his people. Moses was so stupid in his responses to God that God assured him that Aaron would be doing the talking. David killed one of his best soldiers to sleep with his wife. Solomon took up Baal worship to please a girlfriend (this after having built the temple).
She’s worthy of consideration.
