“And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Luke 18:1-8
The Rev. Jason Chesnut is the pastor of Anam Cara, an ELCA online-only church. He is the founder of Ankos Films, Slate Project, and won the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago’s 2022 Witness to the World award. The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago is perhaps the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s wokest and progressively radical seminary. With only 145 students and 14 staff, the school is so irrelevant that it recently had to sell off its campus to the University of Chicago on account of failing finances.
Speaking at their chapel on October 12, the ‘Rev’ Chesnut blasphemously alters the scripture to change God’s gender. Not content to merely refer to the Lord as a “she”, which has been a common woke trope for decades, Chestnut also refers to God as a “they”, even though he would scream bloody murder in any other situation where ‘revealed personal pronouns’ are not honored and accepted.
In that same city a widow came to him asking, begging, “Give me Justice against my opponent! Give me Justice against my opponent. Give me Justice against my opponent! Give me jus- for a while he refused. But then he said to himself “I don’t fear God or respect people but I will give this woman justice because she she keeps bothering me. Otherwise there’ll be no end to her coming here and embarrassing me.”
‘And the Lord said”-listen to what the unjust judge says- “won’t God provide justice to His chosen people who cry out to Her day and night? Will They be slow to help?” Now I tell you, God will grant them justice quickly.
