Lura Groen is the pastrix of All Saints Lutheran Church in Bowie, MD, and has the distinction of being the grossest clergy we’ve ever written about.
She’s claimed that Jesus was trying to SEDUCE the woman at the well, said that there are lesbian angels’ who ‘consensually’ flirt with queer Christian women, and compared the mystery of the Trinity to the luridness of sadomasochism and BDSM.
She’s argued that Christians are but one of many ‘brides of Christ’ because the Lord is “poly” and has ‘other lovers’ of different religions and faiths, and has promoted hook-up culture, premarital sex, and one-night stands.
During a recent sermon, not only did she give one of the most insane disclaimers ever to a sermon, giving a content warning and instructions for “self-care” while offending bible verses are being read, but she also told congregants:
“These scriptures are hard to preach on because I’m a little bit not sure we should even read some of them in church….I do not like these scriptures…I can’t find anything redeeming in (Paul’s) letter”

Huh...didn’t know pastors could just “throw out” portions of God’s Word. Maybe they have divine powers? /s
Stopped reading right there. She's already wrong as she's not obeying the NT as far as the injunction against female pastors/teachers.
I have a high school friend who I saw a couple of years ago.
She had become a “Methodist” female minister. She considered Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament to be an unreliable source, and she denied the divinity of Jesus.
I said: if you remove the divinity of Jesus and the scriptures written by Paul from Christianity, what do you have left?
She did not answer. All that is left is a sort of new age mishmash.
Very very very sad.
If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Look at her photo and it kinda starts to make sense.....
For a start, we need to stop calling her a pastor. She’s demonic.

Egad.
ELCA, of course, not one of the Christian Lutheran denominations.
Simple. Join the “church” of Satan.
The anti-Paulines want the entire New Testament thrown out, except for the words of Christ. The only problem is that, if you do that, all you have left is the Old Testament because Christ enforced the Torah.
They are willing to reject the Apostles in order to enforce their opinion.
Where’s Waldo?
ELCA is the gay mafia. Disregard the “L” in their name.
Well, she is free to go to spout any idiocy that is vomited up from her tainted soul.
HOWEVER, her SIN of deliberately leading people astray and perverting the Gospel, has her CONDEMNED. Unless she repents and truly submits to God’s will, which I believe is unlikely, as her conscience has been seared.
Me too. Do you think this is a classic example of those having itching ears?
That was never a woman, was it?
Well Lura, I would say that God is watching and I don’t think He is very happy with your type of “Christianity”.
Went to a church for several weeks. The male pastor was more concerned about music than his sermons. Then one day he made this statement: “we give them this crap from the Bible.” I could not believe what I heard and I never went back,
Woman is clearly unqualified, if even only for her inability to correctly pronounce Philemon. Wow...
Correct.
