Nadia Bolz-Weber’s Gospel of Shame-Free Sexuality

Christianity Today ^ | 7 Feburary A.D. 2019 | Wesley Hill

[lightman]

...Unfortunately, the pastor who talked up the liberation that comes from admitting you’re in the wrong now seems more interested in helping people understand why they don’t need to. In her new book, Shameless: A Sexual Reformation, Bolz-Weber is out to set Christians free from the angst and humiliation churches have often foisted on them because of their sexual proclivities and behaviors. But the way the book goes about doing so is by rejecting wholesale the idea of “sexual purity” and, with it, the need to confess sexual transgression....

Not Lutherans. The apostate Sunday social club known as the ELCA is no longer worthy of the name Lutheran

[yldstrk]

God does.

Even if it frightens the horses?

I don’t consider horses able to consent

What all the perversions have in common is that they are anti-life.
All of them celebrate the use of human bodies for no purpose other than masturbation, and all celebrate infanticide.

[Antioch]

She’s the freakazoid that called for women to send her their purity rings to be melted down into a vagina sculpture as part of “healing the psychic damage of the purity movement.” At the Makers conference on Valentine’s Day, 2019, Bolz-Weber presented the sculpture to a clearly delighted Gloria Steinem.

[mumblypeg]

Sadly, a lot of airheads will flock to her church only because she looks “cool.”

[mumblypeg]

We mustn’t forget, the Lutheran church split in pre-war Germany, too. The “modern, progressive” half supported Hitler.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Lutherans stayed with Christ.

[Veto!]

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

What isn’t?

I can’t imagine anyone of any gender or combination of genders wanting to have sex, shameless or shame filled, with this creature. Ugly from any perspective and hardly a turnoff. Unless you like having sex with trucks.

[Veto!]

Correction: Turn on, not turnoff.

[a fool in paradise]

free love isn’t free

I am sure on judgement day when perverts tell the L ord Nadia Bolz-Weber said it was oaky for them to go against Gods teaching it will carry a lot of weight

[ConservativeMind]

We know this from the Holy Bible.

You do know you are posting in a religion thread, right?

[trebb]

Yeah - treating nakedness and sex like it was before the Fall....what is they thinkin’?

[yldstrk]

The Bible doesn’t say anything about single people.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

But, Lord...it was that WOMAN you gave me!
- Genesis 3

[ConservativeMind]

The Bible most definitely does say sex outside of marriage is wrong.

I’m at work now, but I found this site to give an initial rundown:

Will catch up later on this.

“Most American churches are synagogues of Satan.”

“Most??” - how do you know??

[elpadre]

It seems to me Wesley is writing a criticism of the book and its author, not a recommendation or endorsement.
