Oh Lutheran Seminary, your latest full page ad is just as revolting as the one you wrote about Senator Doug Mastriano. https://julianalove.com/2020/08/03/lutheran-leaders/. Oh but wait! There is more. The following links are also articles I wrote in response to your organization.
1). https://julianalove.com/2021/05/26/all-lives-are-still-precious-to-god/
The first sentence of your latest article reads, “Being created in God’s image, we believe that all human beings bear this image, in many and various ways.” I guess you must have forgotten what the rest of that scripture says. Here let me refresh your memory.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJV)
First of all, there are only two ways in which God created humans and that is male and female. You also stated, “While it is true that none of us choose the sex we are assigned at birth, it is possible for different expressions of sexuality and gender to exist in the human experience. Instead of shaming these people for different expressions, we can welcome them as God’s children in an ever-changing universe.” I take it you also forgot what the “Holy scriptures” say in regard to God.
“For I am the lord, I change not.” Malachi 3:6
“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].” James 1:17 (AMP)
So, in your ever changing universe, you are stating that it is okay for people to sin against God. The God who doesn’t change! We are to be conforming to the world’s way of thinking instead of God’s way. We are to show love to transgenders, and forget about their souls; even if they continue on this path of self-destruction aided by people like you, who are on a one way ticket to Hell! Is that what your plan is?
Instead of trying to bring them back to a right state of mind, you enable them to go deeper and deeper into Satan’s grip by denial and deception. You are handing an alcoholic a drink. You are giving a drug addict drugs.
No where in your article, did I see you feel any kind of remorse or sorrow for those girls this transgender in question, undressed in front of. What about how they feel? What about their need for love and acceptance and the right to be heard? Which the Gettysburg School Board failed to acknowledge. https://julianalove.com/2023/09/06/protecting-the-innocent/; https://julianalove.com/2023/09/07/protecting-the-innocent-part-2/. What about protecting the innocent? What about how these innocent young girls were devalued? I mean after all according to your “Social Statement, Faith, Sexism and Justice: A Call to Action 2019, also declares that this church commits itself to advocate for and support laws, policies and practices that respect diverse bodies rather than discriminating against, objectifying or devaluing them.” I am wondering where the innocent victims support is!
You also used a bunch of big, long and fancy words in your ad. I guess you needed to sound like scholars. You know, to make yourselves look superior! Here, let me break it down for you. Your organization, based on your ad, is against the God I serve. It is heresy, sacrilegious and blaspheme and if you think God will not hold you accountable for the lives you are ruining, you are sadly mistaken. Transgenders do not need a pat on the back. They need truth, real truth that comes from above. God made them male and female. Yet, you sound like Dr. Richard Levine, who wants the government to approve Gender-Affirming-Care for minors. https://julianalove.com/2023/07/26/demonic-trash/ No! I did not misgender him. He misgenders himself. He was born a man, and forever more will remain one. When he stands before God, it will be as the gender of male, not of the female he portrays and so will every other transgender male and female. They will forever remain in God’s sight, the gender they were born as. Put that in your Call to Action and shove it!!! I am so sick and tired of your types of organizations, who damage society much more than you help it. Oh and please do not pray for me. Your prayers do more harm than good! I am not the one who is lost. You are the “wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” Revelation 3:17 (NIV). The difference between me and people like you, I fear God way too much. I know I have to stand before Him someday!
