True Discernment

And they wonder why mainline churches are closing down. Woke “Preachers”

from The Post Millenial:

A “woke” preacher was speaking at a panel during the summer of 2021 in London and he mentioned that, in his opinion, Jesus “transgendered himself” many times in the Bible.

Speaking in front of a rainbow-colored altar cloth, the preacher told the panel and his audience that “God is queer”, and that we have misinterpreted him through the ages due to our heteronormativity.

“I think Jesus ‘transgenders himself’ on a number of occasions,” said the preacher.

“I think, even just a little phrase: ‘Jesus is lamenting after Jerusalem, longing to gather Jerusalem as a mother hen gathers her chicks.'”

“I think if you look at the foot-washing from John’s Gospel, foot-washing elsewhere, in both [the] Old and New Testaments, it’s consistently done by women, and yet Jesus takes that on.”

“People often cast that as being the servant’s role; it was the woman’s role. And Jesus does it, and becomes the woman at that point.”

“Here’s the wider context. From a panel on “Queer Theology” last summer. Speaker is Simon Woodman, of London’s Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church,” tweeted Woke Preacher Clips, who originally uploaded the clip to Twitter:

In a similar speech, another controversial “woke preacher” said back in Nov 2021 that America should be called a “tossed salad” instead of a melting pot.
