This is a perfect illustration about everything that is wrong with the progressive, liberal, inclusive, modern church. Once you head down this path, you end up with an effeminate, transgender Jesus with woman’s breasts, lipstick and rosy red cheeks jumping through LBGT+ rainbows. The National Church of Iceland, also called the Evangelical Lutheran Church, [1] is the state church of Iceland and professes the Lutheran faith. They paid $12,500 (EUR) for an advertising campaign to promote the big breasted transgender Jesus on the public busses in the capital city of Reykjavík. [2]
Pétur Georg Markan, a representative of the National Church of Iceland, said that the church believes that this depiction of Jesus is “positive and natural” and is meant to “celebrate diversity.” Pétur defended the artwork by saying:
“It’s just as important for us to bring attention to diversity as it is to respect the opinions of those who don’t like this representation of Christ” [2]
Guðrún Karls Helgudóttir, an ordained female priest from the National Church of Iceland [3] also defended the controversial artwork:
“Each person interprets something in this picture. Some people interpret it as a trans-Jesus, others as a woman. Some see Mary with a beard, and others see a genderqueer person. Views within the church are just as diverse as elsewhere.” [4]
Transgender Jesus, genderqueer and Mary with a beard? They have depicted Christ with every aberrant sexual inclination a depraved person could possibly have. Welcome to the “affirming” and “inclusion” movement. This is what you will end up with. But what makes this matter even more abominable is that depraved people masquerading as “Christians” are now enlisting the God of heaven into their degeneracy.
This blasphemous public advertisement campaign was a shameful attempt by corrupt humans to impute the vile and fleshly ways of sinners onto a pure and holy God. It is because of these abhorrent acts that God will bring judgments on the earth:
“Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God” Psalm 50:21-23
The apostasy within Christianity today has no limit. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Iceland and in other places have derided and ridiculed their Lord in the eyes of the world. Instead of misrepresenting the character of God with these shameful displays, we ought to be humbling ourselves before the holy God of the universe.
Remember, the men of Sodom also became confused and thought that the holy angels of God could be the objects of their sexually deprived minds when they sought to have intimate relationships with them (Genesis 19:4). The Bible says:
“The Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants.” Genesis 19:24, 25.
It’s bad enough when Christians begin teaching that chromosomes, DNA and body parts don’t determine a persons’ gender. These progressive liberal “Christians” have been doing this for generations, but now they have become so bold as to smear God himself to suit their corrupt perceptions. Now many are attacking the holiness and purity of Christ by portraying Him as gay or transgender. The following words have truly come to pass:
“But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.” Jude 1:17-19.
