Woke bishop tries to lecture Trump about LGBT agenda, immigration — but the Bible fires back

 

 

“Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

Matthew 15:7-9

I didn’t come up with the heading for the following article. That is from Blaze Media. I never would write the heading as they have. It’s an abomination. Of language. For so-called educated people.

No literate, English as their primary language, their native language individual should be speaking or writing like an uneducated illiterate person. English your language? Did you finish high school? Attended some English classes even if falling asleep, not getting straight A’s? No excuse to speak or write as if you only went to the third grade and are ignorant. Stop using the word woke, unless in the following type of sentence and usage, “I woke up later than I wanted to.”

Period.

Stop accommodating the decline of language which is overseen by the prince of the air, he who is over this world for a season — Satan. Because it is Satan who twists, perverts, corrupts, and erodes language. Not God. And it shouldn’t be carried out then by people claiming to be God’s.

If you’re a Christ follower, why would you be weak, and fall prey to the destruction of language that Satan has installed in the lexicon rather than speaking and writing — thinking, believing speaking writing as a true Christ follower? Not like the world.

Secondly, if you are a true Bible-believing Christ follower you would not attend a church where a woman is the installed pastor, bishop, preacher, or minister, teaching in sermons to congregations comprised of men and women.

It doesn’t matter what you think, like, or agree with. God has said, made it crystal clear that women are not to be installed in positions in the church as pastors, preachers, bishops, or in positions where they present sermons to men and women.

Not according to me.

Directly according to God.

If you are truly a Christ follower, Bible fluent, and you actually know, believe, and live to obey God and His Word;

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.”

1 Timothy 2:21

Don’t like those words? Too bad. They’re from God to every true believer in the body of Jesus Christ, as the Head of the Church.

Those words of the apostle Paul come directly from the Holy Spirit of God as instruction. Because God knows better than any of us ever does. He has a good reason behind this instruction.

Do you allow the pagan feminism to trump the Word of God? Do you permit the beliefs of the world to supersede the inerrant infallible unchangeable living and active words of God?

This should have been clearly mentioned first in every reporting of this matter even before all the Scripture references to sin, homosexuality, and disobedience to God.

You might not like this, you may gasp audibly, you may immediately click off this page but the so-called Right Rev. Mariann Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, is not a Bible-believing faithful disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

By their fruit, they are known.

She speaks directly against everything in the Word of God. Speaking the words of her master, Satan, and not having her Master being God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. If this were not so this would never have occurred and become a news story.

She made the claim that there are no absolutes.

Well, there are plenty of absolutes.

Plenty of them.

Contrary to the Relativistic philosophy that has saturated and destroyed the minds of most folks today, including the overwhelming majority processing to be Christians;

And as for strong secure borders and walls? Read what God has to say about those in the Holy Bible. That book in most homes collecting dust and never opened, read, studied, or lived out. That book. Because borders, walls, and what to do regarding them are in that book in more than one place.

Do not be deceived.

Do not become weak, weary, accommodating, and appeasing of the erosion of language — the sin of language and thus the philosophies behind the corrupted words. No reason to have anything that the world says or throws at us to make us feel guilty or the need to accommodate the world and its vile, truly evil utterly against God ways. Why listen to and follow such a person and their enemy of God ways and teachings? The so-called Right Rev. Mariann Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington is one such person. One of the apostate, wolves in sheep’s clothing speaking fables to those with itching ears just as the Holy Bible tells us it will be in these times.

Do not fear standing out boldly and different from the world.

Enough weakness and accommodating sin and the world already folks. The Bible is clear about doing such. Sadly, with only 4% of the population possessing a Biblical worldview, only 37% of pastors possessing a Biblical worldview and only about 6% of those professing to be Christ followers, Christians, thus supposed to be disciples of Jesus, standing out differently from the world what else can we expect in these last of the last days?

“Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

Woke bishop tries to lecture Trump about LGBT agenda, immigration — but the Bible fires back

Should God be used as a mere prop to justify the liberal agenda?

Aradical Episcopal bishop gave President Donald Trump a stern lecture on Tuesday during a prayer service meant to encourage national unity.

About halfway through the service at the Washington National Cathedral, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, used the end of her sermon to scold President Trump.

First, she advocated that Trump “have mercy” on LGBTQ-identifying Americans.

“Millions have put their trust in you. As you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde said. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in both Democratic, Republican, and independent families who fear for their lives.”

Then she turned to illegal immigrants, using a dehumanizing argument that contradicts federal law.

“The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals,” Budde said. “They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors.”

Budde further pleaded that Trump “have mercy” on people “in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here.

“Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land,” she said. “May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God.”

The problems with Budde’s comments are obvious.

First, despite many claims otherwise, the Bible and Christianity do not support the LGBTQ agenda.

This, of course, does not mean that people who identify as LGBTQ are not made in the image of God with the same inherent worth and dignity as every other human. But God created humanity to reflect a binary of biological sex: male and female (Genesis 1-2). And God’s word teaches that it is only through the covenant of marriage that humans should engage in sex, an ethic that Jesus and the apostles upheld (Matthew 5:27-30, 19:1-12; 1 Corinthians 5-7; Romans 1:24; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19).

The problem with the LGBTQ agenda is that it not only promotes a type of “marriage” and sexual relations that God does not ordain, but it leads adherents to make their core identity about who they are attracted to or what type of people they want to have sex with.

God, however, wants all humans to make their identity congruent with a Christian ontology, that is, as the apostle Paul would say, to be “in Christ.”

Importantly, Trump’s belief and declaration that only two sexes exist — male and female — reflect God’s truth. God makes a human either male or female; he does not make mistakes, and people are not born into “the wrong body.”

Second, God’s commands to be extremely generous to immigrants were given to Israel (e.g., Leviticus 19:33-34). This does not mean it is not God’s wisdom to have mercy on and care for immigrants and the vulnerable among us. To the contrary, Christians have historically been the most generous to such people.

What it does mean, however, is that God did not give such commands to modern nation-states like the United States. It is a wise command, but its historical context must be respected. Moreover, the apostle Paul implores Christians to submit to “the governing authorities” because “there is no authority except that which God has established” (Romans 13:1). In this case, the U.S. is a nation of laws — including immigration law. Moreover, the vast majority of illegal immigrants are not violent criminals who have committed further crimes since arriving in the U.S., but by nature of residing illegally in the U.S., criminality is involved.

Finally, Budde repeatedly appears to abuse words like “compassion” and “mercy” to justify a progressive agenda, using the terms to mean affirming and approving the LGBTQ agenda and a liberal view of immigration policy. But to have mercy and compassion on people is not limited to adopting a progressive worldview. And certainly, Budde’s identification of immigrants as people who merely “pick our crops,” clean office buildings, and wash dishes is dehumanizing.

Trump was later asked for his thoughts about the service.

“Not too exciting,” he reportedly said. “They could do much better.”

Budde, meanwhile, hides neither her woke views nor her apparent disdain for President Trump, telling an ABC News reporter in the midst of the 2020 racial uprisings, “We need to replace President Trump.”
