Lady-pastrix Says the Story of The Egyptian Midwives Was About Defending Abortion
Disntr ^ | July 1, 2024 | staff

In what can only be described as a clown show, ladypastrix and imbecile, Jen Strickland of Claremont United Church of Christ has redefined absurdity with her sermon. She claims, “Reproductive rights, as it turns out, have been under attack since 1500 BCE,” and that the Egyptian midwives were champions of “girl power” for defying Pharaoh. This nonsensical take is an insult to anyone with a modicum of common decency.

Strickland asserts that Shipra and Pua in Exodus 1 were defending reproductive rights by deceiving Pharaoh. In reality, these women actually feared God and would be rolling over in their graves if they knew how modern feminists were defiling their history. Her claim that “women of all ages have been around to save the day” reduces their divine obedience to mere feminist activism.

Adding to the lunacy, Strickland drags Ruth Bader Ginsburg into the mix, suggesting that the midwives’ actions somehow paved the way for 20th-century legal battles for equality—it’s laughably absurd yet disturbing the think that we share a common lineage with such stupidity.

In her closing remarks, Strickland urges her congregation to “subvert the system in your specific context,” drawing inspiration from both ancient and modern figures. This call to rebellion against God’s created order epitomizes the doctrinal and moral apostasy that occurs when churches abandon scriptural authority.

It’s just so stupid it’s unbelievable. You have to hear it for your self to believe someone would actually say it.

Exodus 1

18 And the king called for them and said: What is that you meant to do, that you would save the men children? 19 They answered: The Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women: for they themselves are skillful in the office of a midwife; and they are delivered before we come to them. 20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied and grew exceedingly strong.

>> United Church of Christ

Really, nothing more needs to be said to understand the situation here. UCC basically defines heresy.

I’m sure this lady-pastrix would believe the Bible told a better story if the midwives killed the babies as they were delivered. But then, Moses wouldn’t have survived birth, and the enslavement of the Hebrews would have continued indefinitely.

Abortion is Child Sacrifice.

"Pastrix"

There is one redeeming quality about Leftists. Based on stances, or even the use of key words or phrases, it is possible to make 100% accurate and reliable snap decisions on the person who uses them.

This allows us to use time more efficiently.

In this case, the use of the term "Pastrix" is a reliable indicator that the subject is a woke-imbecile. (There is no doubt the subject mandates the "pastrix" identifier from her "followers")

Is a pastrix kind of like a dominatrix in the pulpit?

Sad to see that so many will not pick up a Bible and read it themselves.
Not long ago I realized Aaron was Moses’ older brother.
