Luther Seminary's 'Reproductive Freedom' Article Warns Prolife Responses Will Be Deleted

5/13/2022

4 Comments

 
The Luther Seminary student newspaper published a proabortion article highlighting a letter which instructs "Faith Communities in Working for Reproductive Freedom." (read here)

Luther Seminary is a institution that trains and teaches people who are seeking to become pastors in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. 

On the Luther Seminary "announcements" page is an announcement about the reproductive freedom article and the corresponding letter (screenshot below). That announcement contains this statement:

"​Special Reminder: Your classmate’s bodies are not topics of theological debate. The comment section of this post will be a place to share your learning. It is not a place to express anti-abortion sentiment. Any comment that breaks this boundary will be deleted."

Prolife comments are not allowed. 

In the letter that Luther Seminary's student newspaper is promoting is this statement:

"it is important to recognize that the opposition to abortion access has always been about a lot more than abortion. It is about enforcing racism and white supremacy, patriarchy, and ruling class power." 

You can read the letter here.

"Your classmate's [sic] bodies are not topics of theological debate..."

Neither, manifestly, are the babies within those classmates' bodies, according to the gutless ELCAnites who know they'd lose by first-round knockout if they ever had to debate the Biblical sanctions against murder in utero. The heretics of yesteryear used to stand and debate their heresies in public forums. Today's wusses hit the "delete" key on dissenting arguments and skitter away to their dark, safe spaces.

This is the spirit that animates manifold ELCA preachings, policies, and practices: “Jezebel represents the spirit of baby killing — in past generations, inspiring parents to burn their babies on idol altars and today, inspiring them to snuff out their little ones in the womb. She represents the spirit of radical feminism: hating men, mocking motherhood, and despising the traditional family structure. And Jezebel represents the spirit of seduction, drawing youngsters into sexual activity and selling them into slavery. She is out to annihilate our kids.“ [ https://stream.org/the-all-out-assault-on-our-children/ ]

Charles Spurgeon warns against getting sucked into the soul-destroying blandishments of these snake-oil peddlers: “Let this be a gauge to you. That kind of preaching which allows you to indulge in sin—that sort of teaching which lowers the standard of God’s Word for you, and makes you think more of your own judgment than of the teachings of Christ—away with it. Let others have it if they like. “Enter ye in at. the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.””

'Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good '

-- https://stream.org/woe-to-those-who-call-evil-good/

[ . . .]"Why do certain groups seek to silence God’s truth and adamantly oppose His Word, whereas Christians are open to dialogue and discussion? It’s because the truth invites scrutiny, and error runs from being challenged. It also has to do with the darkness hating the light because their deeds are evil. In short, God’s Word exposes evil hearts and demonic plans. . ."

You guys have lost it.

I was raised in an ELCA church and have been sad to watch the transformation this woke, virtue-signaling mess.

Does ELCA leadership wonder at all why so many churches are choosing to leave the synod?

Enjoy living in the attention-seeking circle jerk you have created.

    'See!' he said to all the people. 'This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.'
    Joshua 24:26-27
