Church of Sweden Announces That it is “Trans”
summit.news ^ | May 18 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 05/18/2021 1:31:18 PM PDT by RandFan

The Church of Sweden has published an open letter signed by a long list of priests, deacons, and other church staff, proudly announcing that it is “trans.”

Whatever that means.

The Church of Sweden represents Europe’s largest Lutheran denomination and the letter was published on the Västerås diocese’s official website.

“We write to you from a church that is also trans. A church is made up of people. People are different. We have confirmees, employees, churchwardens, elected representatives, non-profits, and other parishioners who define themselves as trans people. The church also consists of trans people. Therefore, the church could be described as trans,” the letter said.

The letter then decried the fact that some feminists are trying to protect female spaces from biological men, such as female sports or changing rooms, for which they are often denounced as TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) by LGBT campaigners.

“This contributes to the normalisation of trans hate,” asserts the letter, betraying total ignorance for the fact that LGBT rhetoric is now embraced and amplified by every major cultural institution, transnational corporation and government entity in the west.

“We believe in a church and a God who welcome people beyond power, national boundaries, ethnicity, sexual orientation, sex and gender identity. A humanity in all the colours of the rainbow, absolutely amazing and infinite in its diversity. We are different and that is good. And God saw that it was good”, the letter concludes.

The ancestors of many Swedes in Wisconsin and Minnesota fled to America to get away from the Swedish Lutheran Church.

“A church is made up of people. People are different.”

Yes, in fact the very concept of “people” can be deconstructed to the point where there’s no such thing as “people.” Impressive. They are defining themselves by their weirdos and freaks. It will not end well.

Where did this idea come from that a proposition is invalid if one exception to it can be found? Because some fraction of a percentage of people are born with male and female genitalia, male and female don’t exist, but infinite genders do?

Without reading the article this is about transubstantiation right? The church I attend does that.

Wellll ... if a “trans” man is a fake man, and a “trans” woman is a fake woman, then it would stand to reason that a “trans” church is a fake church, right?

The Swedish church is run by immature, non serious, imbeciles.

The day will come when we are all suffering, and then no one will think about transsexuals and their mental problems.

The Church of Sweden is a member of the Lutheran World Federation.

THEREFORE:



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!

Church of Satan. There is no trans, only perversion. Gender is identity. Acting like the other gender is perverted. Simple.

That’s why you should read the article. : ) The Lutherans would refer to that as consubstantiation. I guess the short form would be “cons” .

Here’s an idea!
How about making the Eucharist the object of worship again, not our genitals? Try it, you’ll like it!

The Swedish translation of the Bible doesn’t have Romans 1?

Not to go down into an end times rabbit hole, but it has been surmised that via “the mark” the evil one will offer to bring people into a new kind of humanity. Perhaps a “trans” one where there are “no differences”?

Being Antichrist, of course this is a slander against the Lord and His unique design of Male and Female.

This “church” will mow down anyone that tries to get in their way to get that mark!

This “church” is actually just a morgue for the spiritually dead. Twelve to eight months and they will close their doors.

And God saw that it was good.”

Hmmmm ..., seem to remember something about God rained hellfire and brimstone on Sodomites and Gommorah.
(then again they might not have had any trannies which would have revealed God’s bigotry according to the Danish Lutheran “Church”)

My bad, the Swedish Lutheran “Church”, not that there’s any difference.

Church of Sweden Announces That it is “Trans”

I'm sure most transgender people are HIGHLY religious and will be attending Sunday services in full drag! /S
