Feminist Theology Babble, Pure Babble

From February 18, 2018

Ben Shapiro thinks he has discovered “the single most illiterate piece ever written on the Biblical story of Adam and Eve,” (https://www.dailywire.com/news/26947/female-rabbi-publishes-single-stupidest-piece-ben-shapiro) and we must admit it would be hard to beat. “Its central thesis is that God somehow sexually harassed Eve, and that Eve is ‘the first case of #MeToo’.”

Quick, the barf bag!

How could there be any “too” when she was the first and only woman in the world?

This pure crapola has been written by some “female rabbi” who is soon to have a book out on “Walking the Way of the Divine Feminine.” As Shapiro himself admits, “Words fail.”

It’s hard enough to imagine this person as any kind of rabbi, but equally hard to imagine her congregation. She calls God “this man-made figurehead of the patriarchy  [editor’s note: Oh, do please shut up!]…He is a fiction.” Really, what kind of congregation would sit through bilge like that? Had they nothing to throw at her?

She concludes, “Eve, our blessed mother, is saying ‘#MeToo’,” hashtag and all. With the hashtag, no less. Do any of you wonder why I say “#MeToo” is going to burn itself out?

Ben, Ben, faithful Orthodox Jewish brother, we feel your pain. We Christians are lumbered with the same profoundly grotesque feminist theology as are some hopefully small corners of Judaism. See my series of articles about paganism and goddess worship in the churches.

Blasphemy is a sin, and a serious sin at that. Being conformed to the inane and fleeting fashions of this world comes at a price: and there’s gonna be some howling and gnashing of teeth when it’s time to pay.

 

‘Is the Bible Ambiguous?’ (2018)

“Pro-faith, pro-family…” and boisterously pro-abortion. Taking the LORD’S name in vain–enjoy it while you can.

What made me re-run this post today?

Is the Bible Ambiguous?

“Private interpretations” of the Bible abound today–just as they did in St. Peter’s day, when he denounced them. Our day’s private interpretations just get wackier and wackier.

Well, you can always say the Bible supports your perverse attachments to abortion, sodomy, transgender, etc. You can keep on saying it even as that trap door opens under you and you are never seen or heard from again.

Much of what passes for wisdom and holiness today would shame a vampire.

PCUSA ‘Minister’ Stumps for Abortion

Baby Wolf Spider: Facts & Unbelievable Pictures! - AZ Animals

I haven’t the heart to post this woman’s picture. Even a mother spider (above) takes care of the babies that God gives her.

“Blessed are those who end pregnancies,” bleats a Presbyterian Church USA minister who has just been elected vice president of the Society of Christian Ethics (https://protestia.com/2023/08/18/pcusa-pastor-says-jesus-would-have-been-an-abortion-doula-blessed-are-those-end-their-pregnancies/).

Yeah, we’re in trouble, all right.

If Our Lord Jesus Christ were here today, she asserts, he would surely be “an abortion doula,” helping “oppressed and stigmatized” women kill their babies. She herself has had two abortions. Hip, hip, hooray.

She also treats us to the usual drivel about “the feminine face of Christ.” How do these people sleep at night?

She’s sort of a big wheel in the PCUSA, so we can only conclude that her pro-abort crusade has the denomination’s full approval. They certainly haven’t discouraged her from representing them in pro-abortion demonstrations.

Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin…

Church of England, Church of Trans

WHY DO BISHOPS AND PRIESTS THINK THEY OWN THE EUCHARIST? – BISHOP PAT BUCKLEY

Male and female created He them.  Genesis 5:2

“To be trans is to enter into a sacred journey of becoming whole: precious, honored and loved, by yourself, by others, and by God.”

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.  the Third Commandment

I missed this story when it first came out in April. The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, signed this anti-Scriptural screed, authored by an “activist” for sodomy

https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2022/april/ex-leader-of-church-of-england-calls-gender-transitions-sacred-pushes-for-law-that-could-ban-biblical-beliefs

And now … a senior bishop in that church sez they have “no official definition of what a woman is” because things like that “used to be self-evident” but now the times they are a-changin’, all these new “gender complexities,” dontcha know (https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/cwn/2022/july/church-of-england-wont-give-a-definition-of-a-woman-blames-complexities-of-gender-identity).

Gee, if he ever needs a career change, we could offer him a seat on the Supreme Court. One of them doesn’t know what a woman is, either.

Is the Church of England even a church anymore? In light of  current public declarations, I think we’re more than justified in asking that.

‘How Religious Reprobates Defend Abortion’ (2015)

False prophets

I wonder how many so-called churches, this very Sunday, are defending abortion and the politicians who promote it.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

How Religious Reprobates Defend Abortion

As hard as it is to believe, false prophets, clothed in the sheepskin of the church, have beguiled untold numbers of people who think of themselves as Christians into supporting the murder of babies in the womb. Well, no one ever said false prophecy was anything but a growth industry.

There are many of those Mene, Mene, Tekel moments.

This is one of them.

Sorry, Charlie, You Ain’t Foolin’ Us

Yeah, right…

Susan sent me a column by one Mark Wingfield, writing for Baptist News Global, with the provocative title, “Three words for the church in 2019: ‘we were wrong'” (https://baptistnews.com/article/3-words-for-the-church-in-2019-we-were-wrong/#.XhzGXYh7n3h).

Uh-uh. Not buyin’ it, sunshine. You’re the one who’s wrong.

I smelled a rat, so I peeked behind the curtain. Baptist News Global is, according to itself, part of “the wider progressive movement.” Gotcha. But let’s see what he says the churches were “wrong” about.

Wrong about 1) “race.” Here he just rehashes boilerplate left-wing “white privilege” blather. Apparently he doesn’t know any white people who are poor. 3) Women. Ordain ’em all. To me it’s a debatable point, but he’s not here to debate it. 4) “What it means to be ‘pro-life.’ He seems to be saying it’s wrong to focus on abortion when there are other bad things, like genocide and slavery, going on in the world. Is he saying tackle everything in the world that’s really bad, and only then can you oppose abortion? Or is he just putting words on paper that he thinks sound smart?

“Sexual orientation and gender identity”–some of us think the latter is a lot of bunk–is No. 5 on his list. Churches were wrong to expel homosexuals et al and probably should’ve made them pastors and elders instead, he says. Somehow the Bible got that wrong. 6) Something about measuring progress “by numbers instead of souls.” How does he know what kind of progress a church has made in saving anybody’s soul? And no such list would be complete without 7), we “put our hope in politics.” Translation: Christians voted for Donald Trump. So it must have been “right” to vote for Hillary Clinton, the most corrupt woman in the world?

No. 2 was a charge of churches ignoring sexual predators among the clergy. Do you know anyone who thinks that should have been ignored? Do you know anyone, besides a few leftids, who thinks there should be more sexual predators among the clergy?

The key to understanding where this guy is coming from is his assertion that the churches need to have “various ways to understand Scripture.”

Oh! You mean like the doctrine of “the living, breathing Constitution,” in which the meaning of the Constitution is subject to incessant reinterpretation, depending on whatever innovation Democrats wish to extract from it?

So here we have a kind of “living Scripture,” which changes all the time according to the worldly fad of the moment–never mind how many times God reminds us, in the Bible, that He does not change.

“Living Scripture” is why the liberal churches are dying on the vine.

“Clergy” whooping it up for abortion

Be thankful for churches that have refused to go over to the dark side–as the Presbyterian Church USA did, by formal vote, five years ago.

The Whole Damned Package

Well, Paul did warn us that there would be a great falling-away from the truth, before Christ returns. If this isn’t the kind of thing he was talking about… what is?

Rejoice in faithful churches.

 

Oh, Boy! A Blasphemous Lie for the Kiddies!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

See? Here’s the kind of thing that makes it tedious to me to report the nooze.

An “abortion activist,” co-founder of (sheesh) #ShoutYourAbortion (“Ooh, look, it’s got a hash tag, it must be important!”), has told children that abortion is “part of God’s plan” (https://townhall.com/columnists/katieyoder/2018/12/31/prolife-abortion-activist-tells-kids-abortion-is-gods-plan-n2538308).

Satan’s mouthpiece.

Yeah, this jidrool took part in “Kids Meet” so she could tell little kiddies that the baby she didn’t have, but aborted instead, was just “a mistake.” No problem, one visit to the abortion doctor and the mistake is gone. Oh! And #ShoutYourAbortion encourages women to share their “positive abortion stories.” (“Wheee! I felt so good about myself!”)

As if taking the name of the Lord in vain weren’t bad enough, the kiddies got a strong dose of slimy logic and sophistry as well.

Slimy logic: “I should be the one to decide if my body creates a life!” Her body “created” a life? Shazam! How did that happen? But this totally ignores the fact that the baby’s life was created as soon as the baby was conceived. That is a fact, and nothing said by any abortion freak can alter it.

Sophistry: “You guys aren’t pro-life. I’m pro-life!” I guess if you say it with enough conviction, you can get a bunch of six-year-olds to believe you. But really, this is just a lot of playground s***.

Finally, all the problems with abortion in America, the moral imbecile proclaimed to the defenseless children, are the fault of “old white dudes in government.” Darn that pesky patriarchy! Alyuhs turnin’ us Wimmins inta Hand-mades!

A final question: who’s the idiot who decided to let this creature speak to children in the first place? There’s someone who needs a two-by-four upside the head.

Thou Shalt Not!

They’re making too much noise to hear the Siloam tower cracking.

One of the many low points of the Brett Kavanagh confirmation hearings was the ease with which the Democrat Party managed to dig up an ordained minister of the gospel, from the Free Methodist Church, to testify in favor of abortion. Indeed, this trendy preacher went so far as to cite a Bible verse as “proof” that Jesus thinks it’s okay to force people to pay for other people’s abortions (https://www.lifenews.com/2018/09/07/methodist-pastor-uses-bible-verse-to-defend-forcing-christians-to-fund-abortions/).

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. –The Third Commandment

The verse shanghaied by the trendy minister was John 10:10, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Obviously an abundant life would include as many abortions as you like, paid for by someone who objects to having to do it. If you can follow this woman’s labyrinthine reasoning, 1. she doesn’t want to “force her religious beliefs” on anyone else, 2. therefore persons allowed by Judge Kavanagh to not fund their employees’ abortions, as required by an Obamacare “mandate” that Judge Kavanagh ruled against, 3. must have secular beliefs imposed on them. Honk if that makes sense to you.

To anyone but a blithering moron it’s obvious that “abundant life” is hardly in the cards for an aborted baby.

Oh, I almost forgot! The trendy minister is also a “reproductive health advocate,” with “reproductive health” as a euphemism for abortion, and a “community development organizer,” whatever than is. Your community can almost certainly get on swimmingly well without any community organizers of any kind.

The trendy minister got into the abortion wars–she describes herself as “pro-life,” but I don’t think she understands what that word means–when her employer churlishly refused to pay for her IUD. Uh, like, call me simple, but why couldn’t she pay for her own IUD? Libs are always screaming about keeping the government out of their bedrooms; and then they turn around and drag the government into the freakin’ bedroom. They’re always doing that.

And of course the big thing the trendy minister has done here is to take God’s word and try to make Him bear false witness against Himself. She tells a lie in the name of God Almighty.

Yo, chuckles, it’s time to repent.

Before something like the tower of Siloam falls on you. That’s in the Bible, Luke 13:1-5.

But she’ll probably twist those verses to mean that God wants us to worship iPads.

You Won’t Believe This

Did you know Planned Parenthood has a “clergy advocacy board”? I didn’t; but it seems they really do–a coven of alleged religious leaders who support the abortion industry and say Planned Parenthood is “simply doing God’s work” ( http://cnsnews.com/news/article/brittany-m-hughes/clergy-advocacy-board-says-planned-parenthood-doing-gods-work ).

This is blasphemy of a very high order–just what you’d expect when Reformed rabbis, Episcopal ministerettes, UCC and Unitarian pagans, and self-proclaimed “progressive Muslims” get together. The absence of anyone from the Presbyterian Church USA from this board of directors can only have been an oversight, easily corrected.

Yep–God’s work is abortion, and then selling off the baby’s parts. Did you know this helps “oppressed groups”? I didn’t. Did you know the only people who’ve done anything wrong are those who caught the organ auction on videotape? Just ask any of those clergypersons.

Every time you think the news has bottomed out, that it just can’t get any worse than this, along comes something worse. I am afraid to try to imagine something more odious, more shameful, more wicked than this gleeful support of Planned Parenthood by persons claiming to be servants of the living God.

But that’s just what you have to expect from all those pseudo-churches.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
