Bishop Says We Need a ‘Third Testament’ Because The First Two Are ‘problematic’ And ‘not the word of God’

Yvette Flunder is the senior pastor of the City of Refuge United Church of Christ (UCC) in Oakland, California, as well as the Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries.

An avowed “womanist” and proponent of liberation theology, she is “gay-married” to another woman and is about as progressive and liberal as they come.

During a recent message for the Center for Public Theology & Public Policy, Flunder shared:

“This a very dangerous thing that I’m about to say now… a bit dangerous. I’m of the opinion that we need a Third Testament. because the Bible has become problematic.

‘Slaves obey your masters as you do the Lord’- It’s a text.

‘Let the women keep silent in the churches and if they have any questions let them ask their husbands at home.’

Now I’m a believer. My whole heart, I trust God with my whole heart. I wake up in the morning talking to God and God talking to me.

But I am completely frustrated with the ways in which the text speaks to the kind of vitriolic God that makes those kinds of things.

And people will say, ‘well, it’s in the book.’ And I said, then we need to pull that page out.

And they said, well, you can’t do it. It’s the Word of God. I said, no, it’s words about God. Come on now. But is it the Word of God? No. It is not the Word of God.”

I won't say it, I'll let you all say it.

[SkyDancer]

So says this bishop.

An avowed “womanist” and proponent of liberation theology, she is “gay-married” to another woman and is about as progressive and liberal as they come. That explains a lot.

[Tell It Right]

United Church of Christ is the same denomination as “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright. It’s one of those non-Christian churches posing as a church.

She making God in her own image

I thought Yvette was a girls name? What is this bishop? A drag queen or a tranny?

Correct.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Flunder shared: . . . "I’m of the opinion that we need a Third Testament because the Bible has become problematic. ‘Let the women keep silent in the churches . . . ."

I this case, the text is right. Sit down and shut up, Yvette.

Let’s just remove their tax exempt status then.

Another bizarre creature in a long line of false teachers.

She making God in her own image

Yes, but with a little g. Who does she think is qualified to speak for God in writing a third testament? Grok?

[ansel12]

Another example of how recognizing God can interfere with things humans want to do.

[No name given]

Which is idolatry.

[Morgana]

Are we even sure that is even a “woman”?

[No name given]

She’s a false teacher.

‘Let the women keep silent in the churches and if they have any questions let them ask their husbands at home.’

Of course . That way he can’t let his mind drift to his bass boat when he should be listening to the sermon.

It’s obvious she’s a heretic.

[dayglored]

We've got a population of roughly 340,000,000.

If only a 1/10 of a percent (0.001) of those 340M are certifiably insane, that's still 340,000 crazies.

Here's just one of them.
