This is actually quite funny and worth a view. She says she doesn’t understand Elijah’s duel with the prophets of Baal, and then confuses Elijah and Elisha. She attributes Jezebel being a strong women oppressed by the patriarchal religious system of the day. There is a moment where she pauses, and looks like she’s listening to someone before carrying on. And she’s weirdly smiling through much of her ridiculous “sermon” which is a tell. And someone rightly pointed out in the comments where Jezebel led a crusade against the priests of God where those that lived had to hide in caves. And God was involved in her death having foretold how she would be eaten by wild dogs which indeed transpired. Consequently, in Revelation Christ told the church in Thyatira not to tolerate the woman Jezebel. thought to be a reference to Ahab’s Jezebel as a archetype, leading that church away from God. In the end you can conclude she doesn’t reverence or believe the Word of God, or even read it very diligently. She might even be locking in her eternal destination with her “religious diversity” and mockery of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Debra McKnight is the senior impastor and founder of Urban Abbey<\/a>, a United Methodist Church. According to her bio, she is \u201cpassionate about connecting with the people and helping them grow in their faith\u201d and an \u201cadvocate for social justice, women\u2019s rights, and the LGBTQ+ community\u201d where she seeks to \u201cheal the wounds created by conservative Christianity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent sermon<\/a>, wearing her The<\/em> Spirit of Jezebel<\/em> shirt, McKnight claims that the \u201cJezebel Spirit\u201d is basically any woman who is \u201ccompetent, attractive, and smart,\u201d just like Jezebel herself and presidential nominee Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McKnight reveals that when she was getting married to her husband, she looked for a \u201cbiblical model of marriage\u201d to highlight and represent her at her wedding She settled in on Jezebel and Ahab, calling them \u201ctrue partners,\u201d but ultimately decided to forgo her choice so she didin\u2019t have to spend half the wedding explaining her affection and affinity for those two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She admits that Jezebel made a mistake when she urged Ahab to kill the man for the vineyard, but argues that Jezebel didn\u2019t do anything David didn\u2019t do, and yet he was called a man after God\u2019s heart, while she was unfairly labeled \u2018the worst.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting even more blasphemous, she praises all Jezebel\u2019s good qualities and defends\/ justifies her Asherah worship, saying she wasn\u2019t the only one in Israel practicing this faith and in fact, was \u201cbringing about an openness to religious diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She seems to lament that Elijah killed all the prophets of Baal \u201cin an act of violence\u201d and then wonders why we all can\u2019t just forgive Jezebel, before going on a rant about men controlling women\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, McKnight is delighted that the totems, household deities, and false idols were not all destroyed in Israel, reveling in the stories of them being hidden. She insists that worship of false gods was \u201cnot a threat\u201d but instead represented God being \u201ccelebrated\u201d in wild and diverse ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After doing this for over two decades, listening to literally 10,000 sermons, this is one of the craziest thing I’ve ever heard.

Broken into 4 parts, a United Methodist impastor offers a *DEFENSE* of Jezebel and Asherah worship in ways that blow my mind \u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\ud83e\uddf5
