Lutheran Pastor Announces He’s Going to Preach ‘Against the Text’ + Torches the Great Commission
Protestia ^ | June 28, 2023 | Protestia Staff

Posted on 06/30/2023 10:59:03 PM PDT by Morgana

A Lutheran pastor announced on Facebook that he was going to be preaching “AGAINST the text” that contains the Great Commission, declaring that he’s doing so “in solidarity with the millions around the world who have been the targets of this non-reciprocal and colonial discipline.”

Clint Schnekloth is the impastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Lafayette, AR, an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) church that promotes the full inclusion of LGBTQ folks and Queer Camps for children.

Claiming to have common cause with Episcopalians and “Unitarian Universalists,” the church is committed to “offering open space for doubts and exploration” where “belief and doctrine are not gates for entry, but furniture to try out.” Schnekloth writes that atheists and agnostics would feel very welcome in their church because “the system of belief that we host among us is subject to inquiry and challenge. It’s okay not to believe everything. And it certainly isn’t an expectation to conform to specific behavioral patterns or types of “decency.”

In an announcement on Facebook, the impastor explained the topic of his upcoming sermon:

True to his word, his sermon engages in some hardcore higher criticism of the scriptures, freely admitting that much of it is untrue and self-contradictory but that he’s okay with it. Specifically, he goes after the Great Commission as against the spirit and teaching of Jesus, ties it into gender affirming care for children and then ends his sermon strangely and abruptly.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is functionally one of the most heretical and demonic denominations in America. It has denigrated to basically one massive pen for goats, run by spiritual criminals and hirelings, with barely a sheep to be found anywhere. From Planned Parenthood Logo on Clergy Clothes? to Queer ELCA Pastrix Ordained With Drag Queen Nuns While Jennifer Knapp Serenades, this pro-LGBTQIA&$#@!, pro-abortion cauldron of wokeness and deviant perversion runs neck in neck with the PCUSA in a contest to see which denomination hates Jesus more, and they usually come on top.

He’s ELCA. Its the fruits and nuts folks who claim to be Lutheran but are not.

The two large conservative denoms of Lutherans are LC-MS (Missouri Synod) and WELS (Wisconsin Synod). These are the two large remaining bastions of biblical Lutherans left in the USA. There are other much smaller ones, but these two most people would by chance know about.

Personally, I’m fed up with hearing about colonialism! I don’t know if this “reverend” realizes this or not, but every single square inch on planet earth is stolen from one group or another!

On the link there is a video of a sermon he did. He’s supporting trans rights.

I can’t understand why people didn’t walk out.

to that pastor:

The Bible is the Word of God (’...and the Word was with God and the Word was God.’ as John writes.

and therefore the whole Bible is inerrant, infallible, and eternal. period.

Yea and if he’s supporting trans rights, which he did then he missed the part in the Bible where it said “God made them male and female”.

As I said, because its an ELCA denomination. All the people who are conservative left long ago and are either in LC-MS, WELS, or a smaller conservative denomination.

THEY’RE NOT LUTHERAN, D*****T!!!

Pork is not kosher.
Biden is not a patriot.
ELCA is NOT Lutheran.
It’s a God damned fraud, and I don’t mean that as a swear but as a truth.

What kind of dressing would you like with that word salad?

I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at all the people who call ELCA Lutheran, or Christian.

The world sees the frauds who are anathema, and thinks they’re the “good Christians,” the “Christians who really get Jesus,” unlike those sonsab*tches who just hate everyone.

I miss the good old days when Catholics and Lutherans and Methodists and Baptists and Presbyterians could argue about the secondary points of doctrine because we all agreed on the essentials. Instead, half the churches are no longer guideposts to heaven, but highways to hell, and the devil laughs his head off while we, like Paul with the Galatians or John with the Laodecians, have to shout out to the world, “Don’t listen to their smooth words, they’re frauds sending you to hell!”

They at least have the common courtesy to fly the Flag of Sodom outside their doors to alert you that they serve Satan and not God. So, they have that going for them...

“itching ears”.....wolves in sheep’s clothing, clouds without rain....all playing out in real time...watching the destruction of souls....shake the dust off your shoes...Never forget how Israel grumbled in the desert after being freed from Slavery. So much for human loyalty.

I see I’m not the only one jumping on you tonight. And now seeing how it looked, I offer my apologies for my earlier churlish behavior. God bless.

This spirit entered, when freedom of assembly, was violated with the covid set up. Bill of Rights, 1st Amendment.
Fear of incarceration. Fear of reprisal.

Those that took a stand stayed free. The rest chose:

Bondage fear, right out of the Nazi-Lutheran spirit. This DEI, is about to destabilize buying and selling, in the name of DEI sacrament.
