Swedish "christanity"

Who Do Christian Leaders Serve?
Nima Gholam Ali Pour, writes;

In Swedish Christianity, Jesus has been reduced from being the son of God, to an activist fighting for multiculturalism and open borders. According to Archbishop Antje Jackelén of the Church of Sweden, Jesus has clear political positions on both migration and integration policies.

According to a senior official in the Church of Sweden, the call to wear a cross to show solidarity with persecuted Christians is "un-Christian".

One might describe the Swedish Christianity as a new religion that worships multiculturalism and leftist values in general.

"The leadership of the Church of Sweden no longer wants to lead a Christian community; they want to lead a general ethical association for humanistic values." — Ann Heberlein, doctor of theology and lecturer at Lund University.

One can have different interpretations of what Jesus did or what opinions he had, but we can all agree that he did not serve the Emperor or other earthly rulers. Too many Christian leaders in Sweden have become the servants of earthly rulers by conveying the message of the political establishment in Sweden.

No surprise there, then.

Where do who get what from?

//Jesus was 'an activist fighting for multiculturalism and open borders'.//

No idea who said that - but where did he/she/they get it from?

[hc4361]

This man said it, it is his own opinion based on his observations, I think

[naomi24]

Based on his observations of what?

[hc4361]

Of the effects of immigration and multiculturalism in Sweden as seen through his eyes. His a politically motivated man with his own agenda, like all politicians.

[naomi24]

Having just read this I realise that he isn't promoting those ideas - he's questioning them.

So the question remains where do the people who promote these ideas get them from?

hc; naomi reads the article correctly; it questions the views of Archbishop Antje Jackelen, who seems to have dreamt it up himself and is a prevailing new attitude in Sweden, it doesn't come from anywhere else I know of.

The daughter of an American friend of mine has lived in Malmo, Sweden for many years and has just removed herself and her family to Florida, removing them from a climate lacking moral guidance and common sense, rising violence, and no longer wishing to live in what is being described as the "rape capital" of Europe.

It appears that there is so little broad and dynamic debate in that (failed?) country, due to an excess of PC. A letter from Malmo in last week's Spectator says; "Every so often we hear British tabloids accused of lowering the tone of debate. Sweden stands as an example of what happens if frank discussion does not take place.

It doesn't come from Christian scripture, that's for sure.
