In a ceremony that started with a public mea culpa and ended with a prolonged standing ovation, three lesbian ministers were officially embraced Saturday by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
The three were the Rev. Anita Hill, pastor of St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church in St. Paul . . . .
The picture is definitely worth 10 x 100 words. Good work!
“Good ... honest ... hatred ... very refreshing”
This Anita Hill deserves the “ultimate chutzpah” award because, after her irregular and illict “ordination”, when she was NOT on the clergy roster of the ELCA, she got her self elected to Churchwide Assemblies as a “Lay Female”—all the while bemoaning the “injustice” that she was not a bonafide Pastor.
AAAAAAAARRRRGH!
Yep, not in the least bit surprised.
1 Cor 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
1 Tim 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Could it be that she, and many others have torn these pages out of their Bibles?
It’s good, honest and refreshing. The truth always is. What it isn’t is hatred. The simple fact is that Protestantism is rebellion. The sort of idiocy in the article is just a logical development in it.
Ah yes, ELCA = Satan’s playground
After all Catholics never break rules. Those priests were permitted to molest those children....
Or perhaps rebellion is common to fallen Man?
Sounds like Protestantism.
Only to the historically dim witted.
She here stated quite succinctly the crux of the problem: Unfettered rebellion.
"better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven"
-Paradise Lost by John Milton
its one thing to "accept" people for what they are...its quite another to have social interaction with them....to make them such an important part of your life....
Anita Hill and her ilk do not merely want to be “accepted”, they demand to be “celebrated”.
Is the the same Anita Hill of Clarence Thomas infamy?
No, but this one is infamous in her own right.
Obligitory cut and paste from the book of Jude NIV-
A call to persevere
17But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
20But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 21Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22Be merciful to those who doubt; 23snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
Doxology
24To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
And prayers out to your congregation Lightman; for the vote tomorrow!
ROFLMAO! EXACTLY what I thought! Amazing revelations - she’s Lutheran AND gay!
absolutely...
Hmm...
“The sort of idiocy in the article is just a logical development in it.”
Funny, because it seems far too many priests are homosexual - as well as molesters (probably because of the former part). I thought all that was sin?
Romans 1 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie...For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature
