Lesbian Bishop Deems Holy Bible Flawed and
Orders Its Revision to Make God Gender-Neutral
As the
Catholic Church began its descent into the unholy practice of altering its
religious strictures, those that followed doctrine according to the laws set
down in the Holy Book, they saw a sharp rebuke from those that were offended by
the practice and ended their relationship with the Vatican through
protests. Hence the Protestant Church.
Many were
responsible for this movement and it was so hated by the Catholic rulers that
they ensnared Protestant leaders with lies of meetings or conferences and, when
the leaders arrived, were either imprisoned for heresy or simply convicted and
executed.
The
practice of accepting pagan celebrations and morphing Catholic doctrine to
“fit” with the pagan holidays and rituals was so anathema to what religious
purists believed that many of those that chose to make the long perilous
journey to the New World years later did so because they thought that the
practice would end with their separation from the Catholic Church.
It
didn’t. Now, the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of Sweden, established in 1536, has been steadily moving toward this
same practice.
In fact,
even today, the practice continues. In
Stockholm, where the Church installed
the first lesbian bishop, who then took it upon herself to order the removal of
crosses and crucifixes in another church to appease Muslim worshippers and
welcome them into their midst so that they might face Mecca without those
terribly demeaning Christian symbols distracting them, the local bishop has now
unilaterally decided that the Holy Bible is flawed and needs correction!
No longer
will God be referred to as solely male, nor will He be called Lord. These are exclusionary practices and this
radical Leftist feminist has decided that she will not tolerate it! Turn to the next page to read more!
Bishop Eva
Brunne of Stockholm Church of Sweden, an Evangelical Lutheran sect of the
Protestant Church, has been in controversial news regarding her position and
her lifestyle before, so it’s no big deal from her perspective to be involved
in yet another.
Brunne,
who is an openly-gay lesbian bishop in a same-sex relationship with another
priest (yes, you heard that right, another lesbian priest) and has a son who
was born in 2006, has taken up a stance recently that has some doubting her
professed Christianity.
The bishop
has decided that her power is very important and she will use this power to
push whatever Leftist agenda is important to her, regardless of what her
congregation believes or wishes. “I know
what it is to be called into question. I am in the lucky situation that I have
power, and I can use it for the benefit of those who have no power.”
When she
ordered that all crosses and crucifixes be removed from the Seamen’s Church in
Stockholm Harbor in September of 2015, she actually had no authority to do
so. Her order was one that was meant to
make Muslims feel more at ease in the church and she wanted the crosses and
crucifixes removed for that reason. In
addition, she wanted the western direction marked so that Muslims could face
Mecca when they prayed.
The head
of the Seamen’s Church, Kicki Wetterberg, took umbrage with the order and
rejected it outright. “This is a
Christian Church.”
Not to be
outdone, Brunne also opted to openly participate in a march against nationalist
parties who were rallying against the excessive practices of the Swedish
government of accepting tens of thousands of Muslims into the country every
year, without a viable program or plan to place these young men. Yes, you guessed it. The vast majority of these Muslims entering
the country are “refugees” fleeing war and happen to be young men of fighting
age between the ages of 18-28. The
insurgence of the Caliphate in any other truthful look at this movement.
Brunne
does not like that the Swedes (her own people whom she despises as much as
Angela Merkel despises her own people) are attempting to curtail this wave of
terror-prone people and ridiculed them in a Church address, basically
alienating them from the church forever.
Her mere
promotion to this position of power was one that was vehemently opposed by the
leaders in the Lutheran establishment.
Five Anglican bishops, including the then-Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan
Williams, declined the invitation to attend the ceremony, as did the
representatives of the Lutheran World Federation and the churches of Iceland,
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Archbishop Anders Wejryd (who consecrated
Brunne) denied that the clergy of the Church of England was boycotting the
ceremony.
Now, the
bishop has ordered the creation of a handbook for the Church; one that
basically tells the congregation of 6.1M people all over Europe that they no
longer can trust in the word of the Holy Bible.
It is flawed and it is imperfect.
Why? Because she said so. And to ensure that people begin obeying her
order, she has handed down this edict that no longer will priests who lead
prayer refer to God, the Father Almighty as that. In fact, HE is NOT a He, as far as she’s
concerned. God will no longer be
referred to as Lord, the Father, nor will the Holy Trinity be known as the
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.
This sort
of gender pronouncements are exclusionary and they are biased. Therefore, in the eyes of this Progressive
bishop, Christians who have been worshipping this book for more than 2,000
years better get with the times because the Holy Bible is being redacted and
revised!
The Church
of Sweden has voted to adopt a controversial new handbook which says masculine
references to God, such as “He” and “Lord” should be scrapped so as to be more
“inclusive”.
Despite
heavy criticism from organisations including Royal Swedish Academy, on Thursday
the church approved the new handbook with a large majority.
The Church
Handbook — which was last updated in
1986 — sets out how services, baptisms,
weddings and funerals should be conducted, in language, liturgy, theology and
music, and is therefore central to the church’s activities.
According
to local media, many priests have objected to directions in the new handbook
regarding language, which have been added with the goal of making the church
“more inclusive”.
The first 20 pages
of the pope's book "Crossing the Threshold of Hope", are, according
to Christ, (yes Christ, read on for the PROOF) filled with blasphemy and
extremely bad advice, that, if anyone takes it, will lead them unavoidably to "the Lake of Fire and Brimstone". If it
takes a grip on anyone then they will BURN. The
rest of his book is filled with absolutely nothing of any help and is empty of
everything of any VALUE, just like all of his teaching -
filled with "hot air" to fan the FLAMES.
BEWARE,
Christ has warned YOU not
to be led by the "Blind Guides" of Religions or you will ALL fall
into the PIT - (Matt. 15:9,14) the Lake of Fire and Brimstone.
Anyone with ANY
"common-sense", who has read "Crossing the Threshold of
Hope", will already have seen for themselves and know, from its total lack of substance, that the person who wrote it
is an "empty vessel"; not a "cup
that runneth over" with the "Knowledge of God", and will
probably have been very disappointed, dis-illusioned and feel let down, to say
the least; if not actually feeling deceived and "ripped-off".
A man
speaking wisely once said," It is better to remain silent and be thought a
fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt (prove that you are a fool).
This
includes instructing clergy to refer to God in a gender-neutral fashion,
without “unnecessarily” using the male pronoun “He”, or terms like “Lord”.
God should
be referred to as “Mother” as well as “Father” in some prayers, according to
guidelines in the manual, which gives the following as an example:
“God, Holy
Trinity, Father and Mother, Son – Sister and Brother, and Spirit – Lifeguard
and Inspirator, lead us to your depths of wealth, wisdom and knowledge”.
Speaking
after the vote to adopt the new handbook passed, Mikael Löwegren, commissioner
for the church in Småland Ljungby, said the decision signifies that the Swedish
Church has “ceased to exist as a coherent spiritual community”.
“Under the
guise of ‘diversity’, society is being broken down into different groups,” he
said, asserting that there are “so many alternatives and optional variants”
included in the new manual that “it will be hard to claim this is the same
church from parish to parish”.
Highlighting
language guidelines recommending God be presented in a gender-neutral fashion,
Löwegren also warned that the new manual “takes the Church of Sweden further
away from the major churches instead of bringing it closer to them.”
“Christianity’s
most basic doctrine holds that there is a triune God — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,”
he pointed out, adding that the new guidebook “throws away the progress made by
the church through in-depth ecumenical dialogue, and brings in a new worship
system that is both anti-ecumenical and anti-science.”

Church of Sweden Officially Drops Calling God
‘Lord’, ‘He’ to be More Inclusive
The Church

Sofia
Camnerin, the deputy chair of Sweden’s Equmenia Church, defended “inclusive
language” in the church, stating that the need for it “is based on an awareness
of different types of discrimination and inequality in our society.”
“Referring
to God as ‘Lord’ consolidates [gender] hierarchies and the subordination of
women in a white, Western feminist context,” she argued in a blog.
“Liberation
theologises, along with feminist and postcolonial theologians, have been
crucial in identifying how legitimising hierarchies leads to violence and
subordination,” she said.
But Priest
Helena Edlund, who blasted the church as having shown “a total unwillingness to
listen to criticism”, expressed concern over the new language guidelines.
“The risk
is that we fail to notice the small changes and then gradually over time we
find ourselves looking at drastic changes we never would have accepted if they
were put to us immediately,” she told Världen Idag last year.
“Is it
unlikely, for example, that in five years we will be praying ‘Our Mother Who is
in Heaven …’ in our churches? A few years ago, this was called an impossibility,
but the church handbook proposal makes it possible.”

THE MASTER’S PLAN
‘When Thy Judgments are in the earth, the
inhabitants
of the world will learn righteousness’
ISAIAH 26:9
by ALBION
S. GAUNT
(First
published in 1968)
Edited and
corrected by JAH in 2001
THE BACKGROUND OF THE PLAN
In order
that we may understand this great Plan, the Bible narrative, first of all,
takes us away back in thought to the remote past before ever the Earth or the
Universe existed. The opening words of the Bible simply state, "In the
beginning God..."
Logical
thinking demands that there must have been what is known as a ‘first cause’ as
the beginning of all things that now are. It is believed that this ‘first
cause’ had the power of thought and that it was capable of transmuting thought
into action; and, in fact, the power of turning thought into substance. The
Bible makes the claim that this ‘first cause’ is the mysterious Personality of
God, Who Himself is uncreated and eternal, complete within Himself
(self-existing - YHWH - "I AM") and possessing all wisdom. David the
Psalmist declared, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou
hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting,
Thou art God" (Ps. 90:2).
Of the substance of His Own Being
(Spirit - energy), and from His Own Being, the Father created the Son, who
himself is spirit, being of one substance with the Father. There also proceeded
forth from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth.
Thus was the Godhead constituted, still one in spirit and unity, but manifested
as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The human mind is surely incapable
of comprehending the infinite nature of God. Zophar, in the Old Testament -
Covenant story, wished to emphasise this fact to Job when he said, "Canst
thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto
perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what
canst thou know?" (Job 11:7-8). We can but behold the glory of His
handiwork in nature and accept, by faith, the Divine revelation which we have
been granted, realising that we may spend all eternity still discovering more
of His greatness.
"In
the Beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Now follows what the
Bible calls ‘Heaven’, which became the abode of God, Who created the angelic
host, spiritual beings (of light - energy) whose chief attributes are wisdom
and strength (2 Sam. 14:20; Ps. 103:20). They also inhabited Heaven. Among the
angels there was a higher order of archangels, amongst whom were Michael,
Gabriel and Lucifer. Further creative activity by the Godhead followed, in
which the Heavens (Universe) and the Earth were made (Gen. 1:1, John 1:1-5,
Heb. 1:1-3). This seems to be the divine order, and the Book of Job declares
that the angelic host rejoiced greatly at the creation of the Earth, "When
the Morning Star’s inhabitants sang together, and all the sons of God shouted
for joy" (Job 38:7).
While the
Son (Michael - Dan. 10:21) sat upon the Throne with the Father in Heaven, the
archangel Lucifer (created from energy - Sura 7:12) and his followers were sent
to the Earth after the war they had fought against God (Rev. 12:7-9), once it
had been created to be the prison for these sinners as a result of the Divine
Judgement against them. Isaiah, chapter fourteen, supplies a clue, for here is
revealed the story of the great fall of Lucifer who fell through arrogance, and
because of his jealousy of the Most High. Thus it is written: "How art
thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the Morning (Star)! How art thou cut
down to the earth, which did weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine
heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
North: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like (take the
Place of) The Most High. Yet, thou shalt be brought down to hell (Earth), to
the sides of the pit (Hell-Fire)." (Isaiah 14:12-15). This passage marks
the beginning of evil in the Universe. When Lucifer said, "I will",
(his will not God’s Will) sin began.

Isa 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
There are very few instances that God called sin ‘abomination’. Not just sin, but abomination.
Abomination is defined as a thing that causes disgust or hatred. Synonyms: detestation, loathing, hatred, aversion, antipathy, revulsion, repugnance, abhorrence, odium, execration, disgust, horror, hostility. atrocity, disgrace, horror, obscenity, outrage, evil, crime, monstrosity, anathema, bane.
Lev_18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
In total, there are about 76 occurrence of the word abomination, all of which speak of something that God hates.
God made man perfectly holy and happy; and the fair earth, as it came from the Creator’s hand, bore no blight of decay or shadow of the curse. It is transgression of God’s law–the law of love–that has brought woe and death. Yet even amid the suffering that results from sin, God’s love is revealed. Steps to Christ pg 11
It is horrible to imagine that the same God that created man perfectly holy and happy ‘installed’ some ‘genes’ that he hates. It would speak of a ‘confused’ God to create man with attributes He already hates and expect man to be holy.
Pro_15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Pro_15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
In the video below, this ‘pastor’ makes a false claim that his ‘sexual choices, or the more acceptable word, sexual orientation is a gift from God.
Surely, of all the gifts that God will give, why would God give you a gift that is something He hates?Mat_7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
The Bible is very clear,
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
In heaven, anyone that does what God has called an abomination shall not enter the City of God. How much clearer can this ever be?
Make no mistake, homosexuality is a sin. If you are a gay ‘christian’ who thinks that the same God who allowed His own Son to be killed for sin on the cross is going to bend His word to accommodate your lifestyle choices, you are fatally wrong and eternally mistaken. There is no such thing as a born again gay Christian or a gay pastor, it doesn’t exist. Because if you are LGBT and you actually get saved, the first thing the Holy Spirit will do is convict you of your lifestyle choices, and empower you to fight against them.
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”Romans 1:26,27 (KJV)
