What’s the World’s Grossest Pastrix Up To?
Lura Groen, the pastrix of Abiding Savior Lutheran Church in Columbia, MD (part of the excretable ELCA) is quite possibly the grossest clergy we’ve ever written about. Over the past few years she’s claimed that Jesus was trying to SEDUCE the woman at the well, that there are lesbian angels’ who ‘consensually’ flirt with queer christian women, and has compared the mystery of the Trinity to the luridness of sadomasochism and BDSM.
Last we wrote about her, she was praising and endorsing hookups, premarital sex, and polyamory. and saying that Jesus has ‘Other Lovers’ besides the Christian church.
A quick perusal of her social media shows it’s more of the same:
Though some may want to dismiss her as a crackpot loon, Groen isn’t a nobody, even though it wouldn’t matter if she were. Instead, she continues to rise in the ranks through the ELCA. Five years ago, she was elected to the Discipline Committee of the Delaware-Maryland Synod, where she enjoys a close friendship with the Bishop. She has also spoken on at least one panel with Elizabeth Eaton, the head of the ELCA. Those in power know who she is and how she behaves and are entirely and utterly supportive.

I wouldn’t want to be standing within a mile’s radius away from that woman for fear of the immense judgment she is calling upon her head.
So much for Eph 4:29. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Proverbs 23:2
This man/woman/whatever is a servant of Satan. Judgment will not be kind to this demoniac.
I mean, she’s not wrong about getting rid of cops and jails. Neither one of those things was ever a part of God’s good and wise law.
Everything else she said was pure Satanic evil, of course.
It is the God-given responsibility of the government to keep order and peace. So yes, police and jails are part of God’s good and wise law.
Uh, no. What’s a part of God’s law is what is actually written in His law (sad I have to state that). Incarceration is never a God-given just penalty for any crime. Do you have a chapter and verse that you can cite that instructs God’s people to implement a police force or imprison someone for a crime?
ELCA no longer is Christian much less Lutheran!
Jude 8-13
John MacArthur writes about sellout — and moribund — “churches” like the ELCA, which decades ago decided it would forfeit the praise of God to gain the praises of men:
“The Character of a Compromising Church”
“…And as the world grows increasingly hostile to the gospel, the sinner-friendly church must compromise more and more to maintain its attractiveness. Leery of offending anyone, they emphasize physical and emotional experience, not spiritual worship; superficial affirmation, not conviction; sentimentality, not theology; entertainment, not edification; and frivolity, not solemnity.
“Worse still, they’re petrified of rejection and persecution, so they will always fall in line with the world’s expectations and ever-changing social norms. Many churches today turn a blind eye to sexual immorality; others won’t talk about sin at all. They ignore the topic, occasionally focusing on troublesome issues in life but never declaring the power, presence, and destructive damage of sin or naming it as an offense to God’s holiness requiring judgment. It’s a therapeutic church culture, designed to make sinners feel comfortable, welcome, and validated at any cost.
“But worldliness does not make the gospel look attractive; it makes it look impotent. These churches need to realize the grave disservice they are doing to the cause of Christ and the progress of the gospel. A church that’s just like the world has nothing to offer to the world—it’s merely another mode of disposable entertainment. And how could they think such worldliness could be offered to God as worship?”
