Pastor Bolz-Weber on the Bible

6/9/2019

This is a case in point on how the ELCA views God's Word.

Last year, popular ELCA Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber remarked:

“We should never be more loyal to an idea or an interpretation of a Bible verse than we are to people."

Yes, because people can so obviously save themselves?! (insert eyeroll here). Here's a thought: If the ELCA wants to stop the hemorrhaging of people and dollars, perhaps they should reign in the single biggest asset for driving people away that they have. But what do we hear from the ELCA? Crickets.

It's just another Nadia Bolz-Weber (and ELCA) rationalization for Sola Feels "Christianity." Translating the ELCAspeak: "If it feels good and the world approves it, put a God label on it and indulge yourself."

". . .You may be drawn to Bolz-Weber’s Didache for decadents. She certainly is making a name for herself as the chaplain to Weimar America. Still, Scripture and 2,000 years of tradition are a more solid basis upon which to construct one’s Christian sexual morality than the juvenile enthusiasm of a potty-mouthed pulpit-pounder..."

"Loyal to people" -- this from a pastrix who left her husband for a better time in the sack. So loyal to people really means loyal to self, surprise, surprise. Egoism. My t9 autocorrected pastrix to pastry, and maybe it was right after all.

She preaches her own truth. It's all part of "herstory." She is a celebrity pastor, part of the big tent "evangelical industrial complex", ear tickling and church-ertainment.
