On the Streets of Babylon: Glitter Ash on the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..

Come out of her, My people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be  " Glitter Ash" thrown around on the Streets of Babylon....

"Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, is one of the main seminaries of the decrepit and apostate Evangelical

Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
Yesterday, the seminary held a Glitter + Ash worship service, linking to a primer on Queer Virtue, which states: "Glitter is an inextricable element of queer history. It is how we have always displayed our gritty, scandalous hope. We make ourselves fabulously conspicuous, giving offense to the arbiters of respectability that allow coercive power to flourish.
Glitter+Ash is an inherently queer sign of Christian belief, blending symbols of mortality and hope, of penance and celebration." Protestia

On the Streets of Babylon: Transgender Bishops Rule the Streets

 Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..

Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be  "Transgender Bishops" Ruling the Streets of Babylon...

"The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America installed its first

transgender bishop, Megan Rohrer, in a service held in San Francisco's Grace Cathedral on Saturday, September 11 (Megan had been elected bishop on May 8th).

The ELCA, with about 3.3 million members, is the liberal branch of Lutheranism in the United States. The presiding bishop of the ELCA is a woman, Rev. Elizabeth Eaton.

The Rev. Megan Rohrer, a biological female who claims to identify as male (or at least as non-binary), will lead one of the church's 65 synods, the Sierra Pacific Synod, overseeing nearly 200 congregations in Northern California and northern Nevada.

Reverend Rohrer’s preferred pronoun is the non-gendered plural “they.” She doesn’t say how many they are, whether they are legion or just a couple." Fulcrum7

On the Streets of Babylon: Luther would roll over in his grave if he knew...

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..

Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

 
There seems to be "Transgendered Bishops" spotted on the Streets of Babylon..

 

"In continued acts of demonic rebellion, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has elected their first transgendered bishop to lead the mainline protestant denomination, continuing to demonstrate they have no fear of God and no sense of the Lord’s impending wrath towards them.

On Saturday, California’s Sierra Pacific Synod elected Rev. Megan Rohrer to rule over them as Bishop. This woman, who refuses to use female pronouns and instead insists on identifying as “they/them” and even the occasional “he,” was one of the first LGBTQ “pastors” to become reinstated into the ELCA after they voted in 2010 to allow clergy in “committed relationships” to lead churches.

She is married to a woman." Protestia

On the Streets of Babylon: Drag Queen Story Hours Held On The Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be some  "Drag Queen Story Hours" spotted held on the Streets of Babylon...

"Drag Queen Story Hour....In New York, one Lutheran Church

even participated.
A drag queen who goes by the name “Reverend Yolanda” (how fitting?) is seen here dancing and dressing provocatively in Park Church Co-Op in Brooklyn, NY.
And how fitting that there is a dead Jesus in the background?"

On the Streets of Babylon: Irreligious Tweets on the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be some "Irreligious Tweets" on the Streets of Babylon ....

"The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America garnered

controversy this week for posting a prayer on their Twitter and Facebook accounts addressing God as “Mother" instead of Father. 
“Mother God, you have fed us with the nourishment of your spiritual food. Raise us up into salvation and rid us of our bitterness, so that we may share the sweetness of your holy word with all the world,” the ELCA tweeted on Tuesday as part of their #Bread4theday series of Twitter posts."

On the Streets of Babylon: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence spotted

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to have been a "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" seen on the Streets of Babylon ....

 

"It’s the tale of the ordination of Pastrix Dawn Bennet into the

ELCA.....On one side of the sanctuary, a black choir belted out gospel tunes.

On another, 10 drag queens dressed as nuns, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, sat and cheered. These performers are an LGBT protest group that uses  "religious imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and satirizes issues of gender and morality."

The lecterns (those who read the scripture for everyone) were comprised of a “pagan wiccan priest who loves Jesus,” an agnostic best friend, and a gay pastor.
While they took communion, Jennifer Knapp (yes, that one) sung some of her “old stuff” over them. Communion occurred while wearing her rainbow colored sneakers- holy shoes that she only wears while she preaches to remind herself of the necessity of

radical LGBT inclusion.

Her vestments were smattered with rainbow stripes and accessorized with rainbow pins.
She was prayed over and blessed by an assemblage of theologically aligned ELCA ordained ministers, rejoicing as they laid hands.

In the months since she became ordained, she’s led an active and aggressive inclusive church-type group. The Easter sermon she preached on Sunday was about not being afraid to affirm one’s true, authentic gay/transgender self.
She made the point while reading from the inclusive Bible and prayed to “Holy Father, Holy Mother, Holy Parent”, thanking…(They?)….for our collective queerness."

On the Streets of Babylon: Paying for Sin & Destruction

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be  some actually willing to PAY for "Sin & Destruction" on the Streets of Babylon....

"The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (the first three

words italicized are lies) is proudly paying for one of the pastors to inject their preteen son with hormone blockers in order to “make him a girl.”
An ECLA pastor’s wife, Jamie Bruesehoff, celebrated getting hormone treatment torture for her son earlier this month on Facebook.
The harsh and foreign chemicals will attempt to keep the boy from going into puberty so he will appear more girl-like.
According to Jamie Bruesehoff’s website bio, she’s “an openly queer woman married to a Lutheran pastor and mom to three spirited children.”

On the Streets of Babylon: Porn Littering the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be "Porn" littering the Streets of Babylon......

"A liberal female pastor has said viewing pornography is just fine, especially if it is “ethically sourced porn.”

“I refused to pick the low-hanging ‘Moral Outrage Fruit’ of Liberals and Conservatives about porn,” said the tattooed pastor.  “Now, there are issues of justice and exploitation within the porn industry, no question, but it doesn’t mean consumption of pornography should be shamed.”
“There is ethically sourced porn,” continued the Colorado pastor.
“I’m not going to shame people when they already feel ashamed,” declared Bolz-Weber, who claims, “If we took shame out of the fact that people like to view erotic imagery, the compulsive behavior around consuming pornography would decrease.

“If the teachings of the church are harming people, then we need to rethink those teachings,” said Bolz-Weber.

“The church is saying that the Creator of the Universe, God in the heavens above, knows if you’re involved in self-abuse, and God is super disappointed.  How ridiculous.  That causes harm because these teachings are done in God’s name,” she said."

On the Streets of Babylon: Fruit Bombing the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 

Come out of her, my people,

Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be some "Fruit Bombs" dropping on the Streets of Babylon....

"Nadia Bolz-Weber retired from her pastorate at the House for All Sinners and Saints (ELCA) and was replaced by a gay Episcopal man who is married to a drag queen who goes by the name “Fruit Bomb.” This is not satire.

Bolz-Weber is the giant Amazon-esque, tattoo-graffiti’d, potty-mouthed impastor who has referred to herself as a “dyke” (she is married to a man, however). She is growing in popularity among the pagan world (who she refers to as a “secular” audience) and has successfully used her ordination credentials with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) to bolster herself as a spokesman for a new kind of Christianity that is more or less divorced from any concept of Christian holiness.

Her replacement is the Rev. Reagan Humber, who is not Lutheran, but Episcopal. Apparently doctrine doesn’t matter much ... Humber from St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco. He is “married” to a man who pretends to be a woman and is a “drag queen.” His partner’s drag name is “Fruit Bomb.”

The new ‘pastor’ said:

 Sure, we’re going to screw some things up. But when we screw things up and then still come back the next week, that’s where the grace happens. That’s when church gets real and the dead are raised." Pulpit&Pen

Lutherans on Green Religion

They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator... Romans 1:25 NIV

 The Green Glue that could help bring the world together spiritually....

Lutherans on Green Religion

"The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), released a statement June 18 on behalf of this church in response to Pope Francis' encyclical

on climate change...

As members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we share a deep concern with our Catholic brothers and sisters for the well-being of our neighbors and of God's good creation.
An accounting of climate change that has credibility and integrity must name the neglect and carelessness of private industry and the failure of government leadership that have contributed to these changes.
However, it also must include repentance for our own participation as individual consumers and investors in economies that make intensive and insistent demands for energy."
