A church in Malmo, Sweden has a new altarpiece meant to celebrate gender ‘inclusivity’ by replacing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden with sodomite couples in suggestive poses, while depicting the serpent tempting them as a transgender woman:
The controversial work of art is not new. Photographer and artist Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin painted it in 2012 and tried to donate it to the Skara Cathedral just before the church was preparing to conduct the first same-sex wedding in its 1,000-year history.
The openly lesbian artist, who has a history of blending religious imagery with pro-minority activism, said at the time that she wanted to test if the Church of Sweden was as gay-friendly as it claimed to be when it embraced same-sex marriage in 2009. The Skara Cathedral politely declined the gift, saying it was about political activism and not faith.
But over seven years have passed, and now Wallin has got her way, even if it isn’t in her home city. St. Paul’s Church in Malmo accepted the painting called “Paradise” as its new altarpiece and unveiled it on Sunday, the first day of Advent. Helena Myrstener, the pastor, said that “history was written” in the hanging of the “LGBT altarpiece” as she tweeted a photo of the painting.
Wallin’s re-imagining of paradise was inspired by one of the works by Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder. The artist/activist said she wanted to show that, since the beginning of time, the place for gay people was in paradise rather than hell. The modern interpretation interestingly seems more prudish in terms of nudity than the 16th century originals as both “lesbian Eves” have their breasts covered by leaves rather than concealing only their genitals, as is traditional.
But it’s probably not because the artist has problems with nudity. After all, her most famous photo exhibition – the 2012 Bible-inspired “Ecce Homo” – featured an image portraying the baptism of Jesus with the model standing for Christ having his penis fully exposed.
The Church of Sweden, the state Church of the Scandinavian country until 2000 and still by far its largest denomination, prides itself on embracing a laundry list of woke agendas. Despite this, Swedes have been leaving the Church in record numbers lately, according to surveys.
It should be noted that the church in question is in Malmo, one of Sweden’s notorious Muslim no-go zones, which makes the church useless anyway, but considering the general high levels of atheism in ‘woke’ Sweden, perhaps it’s best that Christianity be relegated to the dust heap of this judeo-socialist Utopia.
The Swedes clearly found life under the rulership of Christ too distasteful and oppressive for their ‘progressive’ sensibilities, and they’ve opted to give the empty promises of jewish socialism and multiculturalism a try instead.
Within another generation, after living with a brutal jewish boot heel constantly on the back of their necks, the Swedes will again cry out for Christ to save them — if there any Swedes left to cry out.
Judging from the iconography: though titled ‘Paradise’, the central theme depicted in the picture borrows its motifs from ‘The Fall of Man’, which is here glorified (as only satanism does) as a deification of man. As is typical in other depictions of ‘The Fall’, the central, serpentine figure perched in the tree’s crotch, represents the Deceiver (fitly rendered here as ‘transgendered’–a man in the guise of a woman);
–also typically placed, the figure of Adam is on the very left and that of Eve is on the very right. In this case, both are shown as having idolized gender disorientation–“adam” as a sodomite drag queen, and “eve” as a crop-haired, Butch lesbian.
–Joint ‘pontiffs’ over their masturbative religion, each is, in turn, “blessing” it’s suborned children, mortally coupled-up in impotent partnerships.
–You will notice the atmosphere of the setting is starkly devoid of warmth and comfort, for the quasi-sacramental activity in the foreground takes place quite outside of the orthodox Christian faith, as is indicated with the distant cathedral in the misted background.
–Implicit, as well (since none of the trees in the painting bears leaves, much less, fruit), the noxious gift each couples’ ‘lead’ pretends to give the other are figments only of what is Desired. They fundamentally know that what they have embraced is not a true identity, but a lie.
I cannot say Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin is a good artist, but she takes proper pains to communicate well! Overall, her picture is a very thoughtful, true and accurate rendering of general sexual dysphoria.
It is my privilege to pray for Elisabeth: “Lord Jesus, the resurrection and the life, I pray that your Spirit will lift Elisabeth into the Father’s presence where she may find forgiveness in your name. Relieve her of self-deceit, renew her mind that she should be at peace with you, herself and others. Amen”
ADORED Sweden like Holy Virgin til this moment. Mother of White GODS and white people. What happened and happening right now with this ball ? who’s in charge?
Besides the obvious…………..what the heck happened to Sweden???!!!
When did it start?
You could say the (( devil ))) was in the US at it’s inception. What is the history of Sweden and when and how did the SoS get it’s hooks into it?
Seems we are going down fast too……but not that fast!
All of these “Christian” churches will fall in the same fashion if they don’t reverse their tendencies and return to the worship of the God of our fathers. This particular ‘church’ will be nothing but the center of a hedonistic cult in a few short years.
When the Commies took over Russia in 1917, they went about either destroying Christian churches or turning them into bars and brothels, along with murdering close to 60 million Russians who didn’t want to bow down to Godless Communism.
In Sweden, they welcome the same nation wreckers with open arms.
During the collectivizing of the Russian and Ukrainian farms, the jewish Bolshevik apparatchiks also converted many of the churches into barns to house cattle, pigs, and other livestock.
Or does LGBT..xyz Eden Paradise look more like the ashen heaps in the Valley of Siddim
Sodom and Gomorrah – a visual tour of the ancient Biblical cities. Even the tar pits still there – today with warning signs. The purest grade sulfur in the world still embedded in the ruins. Burns with a purple not a blue flame. Whole new take on Purple Rain.

Hmm… is it any wonder then, that as God used the moon god worshiping people of Ur of the Chaldean’s to rebuke Israel Sweden is plagued by the same moon god worshipers today in the form of Islam? As is much of the West for our promotion perversity.
Jeremiah 52:12-14
12 – On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
13 – He set fire to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.
14 – The whole Babylonian army, under the commander of the imperial guard, broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Boris, choose Christ, Islam or the Left.

1 Corinthians 10:6
Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.
The article mentions Elisabeth Wallin’s “Ecce Homo” piece which denigrated Christ. When it was publicly displayed in Serbia, it had to be protected around the clock by armed guards for fear that Christians would destroy it. What kind of “art” needs armed guards to protect it from outraged viewers? What kind of versions of a “historical event” needs laws that make questioning it illegal? I suspect the usual suspects are at work in both instances.
And just last week the Belgians desecrated a historic altarpiece in Ghent. I guess the Swedes thought they could do the Belgians one better by throwing a tranny satan into the mix. Dear Swedes: God shall not be mocked. You can take that to the Rothschild bank which owns your countries.
