What happened?
The
Church of Sweden today announced that Antje Jackelén has been elected
as the next archbishop. The very liberal theologian had been teaching
at ELCA’s
Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago before being elected bishop of
Lund in 2006.
Meanwhile,
Church of Sweden female priest Eva Hamberg announced over the weekend that she is
quitting the Church of Sweden, finally
finding it too apostate. Her decision came in the wake of an interview
with the five final candidates for archbishop in which none of the five
would say that Jesus provides a better path to God than Mohammed.
The wonderful hymns are sung now as a memory of what was but has been surrendered on the altar of modernity. God rest the Swedish saints who were among those who first taught me the faith. I am glad that they can no longer be harmed by the empty word that has replaced the saving truth that was once spoken and heard with faith and joy.

Female priests don't qualify? Maybe not apostate, but certainly disobedient and contrary to God's clear Word....
Sadly, the historic Sweden had been totally obliterated by izlam, and is now a muzzie state. They even say such foolishness as, "we have no heritage, we have no traditions of value." This from the once great Swedes!! It is appalling, but not surprising. This is the result of liberal thinking carried to the limit. They have largely forgotten God, and become a welfare state with no history, no tradition, no ethnic identity.
Liberals forget (or deny) that it was God Himself who separated the nations and gave each one a separate, distinct place on the earth. When they deny God, they no longer see His hand in history, and no longer value His arrangements for different peoples to live in their own lands. To the liberal, all lands on the earth belong to anyone and everyone, and there are no national borders. just look at our own sad state in the USA! We have no effective southern border any longer because we have had liberals (from both parties) in charge for the past 50 years.
Sweden seems to be lost now. There are parts of Malmo that are strictly off limits to white people, and are considered "muzlim only." Swedish white women are routinely called "whores" and rape is rampant, all blamed on the "provocative behavior" of the white women of Sweden. This is the "Religion of Pieces" at work, building a better Umma!
The Swedish State Church (Lutheran) abandoned true Christianity long ago. Bo Gertz wrote about this in his book, "The Hammer of God." There is, however, a faithful remnant, that is being actively supported and encouraged by the LCMS and some Anglican groups.

"O Sweden. I hardly know you anymore..."
Soon it will be: "Oh Europe, I hardly knew you anymore..."
"...none of the five would say that Jesus provides a better path to God than Mohammed."
Why is there zero pressure to change Islam? Why only Christianity?
Why go through all the hassle of trying to destroy the Church through violence when it can be deconstructed peacefully. Who would be interested in joining a meaningless social club?
Postmodern Christianity, coming soon!
