 ST. PAUL, Minn. — A student at Luther Seminary in 
Minnesota, which is stated to be the largest seminary of the apostate 
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), recently performed in 
drag in the Olson Campus Center chapel as part of the annual “Lip Sync Battle” 

held at the location. The video of the performance has generated both applause 

and sorrow from viewers.

Anders Nelson, who is in his final year of studies and desires to enter into the ministry, posted a video of his performance as “Rhonda F’Plause” to social media on Dec. 10, writing, “Here’s Rhonda F’Plause’s debut performance at Luther’s Annual Lip Sync Battle! I think she did Dolly proud!”
Nelson, wearing a long blonde wig and a very short pink dress, danced to the song “Baby, I’m Burnin'” by Dolly Parton.
“Your eyes reflect love and desire/I see that you need me/I need you to please me/You touch me and set me on fire,” the lyrics state. “I cannot resist you/Each time I kiss you/Then everything goes up in flames.”

During the second verse of the song, Nelson grabbed a fan reflect the song’s “burning” theme, gyrating his hips, which drew laughter from the crowd. After kicking his legs up into the air, he later made his way down through the pews to entertain some of those present up-close. One man in the front began to clap along as others laughed.
The audience cheered at the end of the performance.
“[N]eedless to say, I had fun getting into drag for Luther Seminary’s annual Lip Sync Battle!” Nelson wrote. “Rhonda F’Plause made her debut and I took home the trophy!”
While some commented under Nelson’s video that the performance was “awesome,” “amazing” and “a powerful witness to God’s goodness, abundance and joy,” others expressed sorrow over the condition of the ELCA.
“Lord, have mercy. Call all those in the ELCA to repentance and draw them back to you. For they have swayed from your Word of truth and followed their flesh and own wills. Maranatha! Lord, come quickly,” one viewer wrote.
Nelson responded with the assertion that “commenting on strangers’ posts … doesn’t seem to reflect on God’s love too highly.”
“I can assure you that the Triune God is present here at Luther Seminary,” he wrote. “I can also assure you that amateur drag performances aren’t the only thing happening here; we witness to the abundant grace and love of God through our studies and service.”
One Lutheran pastor, R. Daniel Carlson, then replied to Nelson with exhortation, pointing to Deuteronomy 22:5, which states that it is an abomination to the Lord for a man to wear a woman’s garment.
“Do you presume to know more than God? Do you think the Lord has changed His mind?” he asked. “Be holy! Humble yourself before the Lord and do not insult Him by answering the liar’s question ‘Did God really say …’ with ‘No He didn’t, or at least He didn’t mean it.’ Pursue holiness and godliness, and do not follow the patterns of this world.”

Ryle

In his message “Profit and Loss,” the late Anglican preacher J.C. Ryle declared, “It is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’ ‘Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.’ What do you know of this holiness? Can you say that God the Holy Spirit has actually begun the blessed and never-dying work of sanctification within you?”
“… Do you strive not to be conformed to this world? Do you profess to regulate every thought and word and action by the Holy Scriptures? Do you hunger and thirst after a complete mortification of sin, and look forward with longing to the time when Satan shall be bound, and there shall be no more struggle between the flesh and the spirit?”
“… Is your Bible your daily food, a light to your feet and a lantern to your path? Are you above the fear of men, and can you think lightly of their praise in comparison with that which is of God? Do you count all things but loss, if you can but win Christ? Do you count the life that now is, as nothing compared with that which is to come? Oh! If you know not something, however little, of these things, tremble for yourself and repent!”

POLICE STATE NEW JERSEY BANS OFF-DUTY COPS FROM CARRYING MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS OF AMMO

 

POLICE STATE NEW JERSEY BANS OFF-DUTY COPS FROM CARRYING MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS OF AMMO

New Jersey –-(Ammoland.com)- New Jersey citizens are told to trust the police to keep them safe, but what if the state itself doesn't even trust them enough to carry more than ten rounds in their magazines?

This paradox is the question that the people of the Garden State have been asking themselves for the past week.

Last Monday a ban went into effect making it illegal to own any magazines that hold more than ten rounds making millions of residents guilty of a class-four felony. Anyone caught with one of the now banned magazines in their possession faces up to 18 months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines or both for each magazine found.

Gov. Murphy wants citizens to trust in the police to protect them, but the law does not exempt off-duty officers from carrying more than 10 rounds in their magazines. Depending on the department police in the State carry between 15 to 17 rounds in their duty weapon magazines.

It doesn't make sense why an off-duty officer is limited to 10 rounds when they carry much more while on duty. This artificial limitation severely hampers their ability to respond to a threat when off duty.

When Ian David Long walked into a crowded bar in Thousand Oaks California and opened fire with his .45 caliber Glock 21, the 28-year old killed 12 people. In that bar were six unarmed cops that were disarmed by their department policies. If even one of those officers were armed, then lives could have been saved.

A similar situation could play out in New Jersey due to the new magazine size restrictions placed on all citizens including  off-duty police. Police respond to crimes after they happen. These off-duty officers are out blended into the public. The chances are strong that these officers have a better chance of stopping a crime progress then the uniformed officers on duty.

Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo sent out a memo to his officers clarifying that the law does apply to them when they are off duty even when they are in an on-call status. The memo was leaked on Twitter by Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik, the Tweet reads:

“NJ Governor @GovMurphy is endangering the life of every off duty NJ cop! Gang bangers, drug thugs and really bad guys don't give a damn about magazine capacity… So he takes the good guy's ammunition, and the bad guys are loaded for bear! @FoxNews @CNN @newsmax @DLoesch @ABC”

On FoxNews Kerik went even farther by calling the law ‘insane' and by saying that the law is ‘just crazy' for taking away round that police might need in a gun battle. He pointed out that criminals do not follow the law and the Governor is giving the criminals the upper hand.

Kerik is not alone in is condemnation for the law. Willes Lee, President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) and NRA board member was also shocked by the law.

“New Jersey liberal politicians don't trust citizens. Now, they again demonstrate that Democrats hate law enforcement,” Lee told AmmoLand. “New Jersey police unions still support Democrats? Law enforcement and first responders lives are in danger when liberal politicians ban their ability to defend themselves. New Jersey just got more dangerous, even to their own law enforcement officers.”

Legislation has been introduced to amend the law to exempt cops from the magazine ban, but with the left-leaning legislature, there is no guarantee that the bill will pass. Democrats are known for being anti-gun and anti-police.

These anti-police moves are not the first time New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal has been at odds with the cops. Earlier this month the former Bergen County Prosecutor told nj.com that police use of force cases should ‘be analyzed in hundreds of ways' to make sure there was not abuse. He also has instructed departments to implement early warning systems to identify cops that might go rogue by analyzing their behaviors akin to the ‘Pre-Crime’ system used in the “Minority Report” movie.

It remains uncertain if legislation exempting cops from the law will pass the New Jersey legislature for Gov. Murphy to sign, but as of now, New Jersey is less safe than ever because of Gov. Murphy's anti-gun law.
