Progressive Christianity Watch: Let's Hear It for the Queer, Black, Woman Jesus!

No, the rainbow isn’t a “symbol of God's diversity.” It’s God’s promise that He would never again destroy the earth by flood."


"It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I didn’t realize that it’s been over a month since I shared some of the craziness of progressive Christianity with y’all. It’s not for lack of good material, that’s for sure. And here are three examples of the wildly heretical nature of people who play fast and loose with doctrine.

"Let’s head over to Lafayette, Ark., where Clint Schnekloth pastors Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. It’s an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), so you know he’s going to have some nutty things to say.

"By the way, this shows up at the bottom of the church’s website:

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church acknowledges that Indigenous peoples were forced to leave their ancestral lands, including the Osage, Caddo, and Quapaw Nations with ties to Northwest Arkansas. We further recognize that a portion of the Trail of Tears runs near our church facilities, and that the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw, and Seminole Nations passed through what is now Arkansas during this forced removal. We acknowledge all Indigenous teachers, researchers, and residents in our community and region today. 

"All right then.

"Schnekloth recently preached a hot mess of a sermon on the Great Commission, in which Jesus commands His disciples (including us), “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

"He goes ridiculously off the rails by saying that he doesn’t like the Great Commission because he sees it as a condescending command for us to share Jesus’ message with the world:

my inherent problem with the Great Commission is how unilateral it is, right? "You all who have the Gospel, go and preach the Gospel to all those heathens who don't have the Gospel, and make them disciples and baptize them."

"Yes, that’s exactly what the Great Commission means." . . .Keep reading, it gets more in depth.
