The Lutherans wants to bury the bones. The Catholics wants to display them. The dispute is over the remain of a man both the Churches claims was a saint.
This is the bones of «Knut the Holy», a Danish king found worthy of sainthood by both the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholic Bishop of Copenhagen Czeslaw Kozon
The Catholic Bishop Czeslaw Kozon, and the Lutheran Bishop Kresten Drejergaard, both in Denmark, can not agree what to do with the bones.
The Lutheran Bishop, Kresten Drejergaard
The Lutheran Bishop wants to burry the remains of the Danish King. The Bishop of the Papal Church would rather like to display them in public in the Catholic Church collection of Holy items and relics.
«Knud the Holy» was king in Denmark from 1080 A.D. He was killed in 1086 A.D, Since the year 1100 A.D, his remains have been kept in a wooden coffin. His remains have been scanned by a medical college in the Danish city of Odense, in an effort to confirm the bones are the remains of the King, and to confirm that the King was murdered.

My comment:
To this rather «strange» dispute, I can only add that our saints are presently living among us, doing the will of the Lord. After people are dead, their Spirit and soul leaves the flesh, and depart either for Heaven or Hell. We should not pay attention to dead saints, and in particular not the bones they left behind.
This is an good example of how silly religious leaders might become.
I never was, and is not in the position to read the heart of «Knud the Holy». But I hope he was a good and God fearing man.
« It’s time for Palestinians and Israelis to share a just peace» This is a slogan from World Council of Churches (WCC). They have lost their way. They have joined the forces that will put antichrist into the temple in Jerusalem.
WCC calls for an «end of the occupation of East Jerusalem» . WCC wants to force Israel to give the Jewish Biblical heartland, and give Judea and Samaria into the hands of Radical Islam, represented by Al Fatah and Hamas.
The week from 4th to 10th of June, WCC has called for an action week called «Its time for Palestine, World Week for peace in Palestine Israel». The same day, 4th of June, President Obama will agree with Islam in Cairo, that Israel has to be «forced into peace».
A united World will finally stand up against the Word of God and Israel. The last march to Jerusalem will be very colorful. There will be suicide bombers, US politicians, Roman Catholics, Lutheran Catholics, Methodists and Islamist`s, leftist politicians, «Christians» who worship men who perform signs and wonders, communist union leaders among others.
The only thing they have in common, is that they do not believe God of the Bible, and have been corrupted by the «Lord of this World. If they just had read the Bible, they would get a chance to repent and escape the coming wrath of God.
In the book of Joel it is written: 3:2
«I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land»
Even a child can read and understand this.
Jesus the Messiah said:
Matthew 13:38-40
«The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age».
Are you a member of a Church who promotes and supports The World Council of Churches, its time to get up from the chair and say:
«Our Church is wrong on Israel. I love Israel and the Jewish people. And our Church must do the same. The land WCC call «Palestine» belongs to our God. He has promised this land to the Jewish people. The Jewish Messiah did fulfill this promise to the Jews in 1948, by protecting Israel and the Jewish people through the war of Independence. The God of Israel can be trusted. His promises stands forever».

Eight out of 10 Presbyterian leaders wants the US Government to end aid to Israel, to stop “settlement expansions in disputed Palestinian territories”.
They are obeying God of Israel on the Mountains in Zion. The Messiah Jesus will bless them.
Presbyterian Church publishes report on Middle East issues that was approved with 82 per cent of the vote during the church’s annual general assembly in Minneapolis.
The report is meant as a guide for the denomination’s more than two million members The move was immediately criticized by Jewish groups.
But other aspects of the report on Middle East issues adopted by delegates of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) earned qualified praise from pro-Israel organizations, which have long taken issue with various Presbyterian statements on Middle East peace.
“We feel we’ve brought together people who previously had trouble talking about some of these issues together,” said the Rev. Karen Dimon of Northminster Presbyterian Church in North Syracuse, N.Y., and chairwoman of the committee that produced the 172-page report.
Ethan Felson, vice president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, said he still took issue with major aspects of the report, but said it contained important signals that could lessen long-standing tension between Presbyterians and pro-Israel Jews. He said it strengthens support for Israel’s right to exist and removes comparisons of Israeli policy to apartheid.
“Concerns remain, but I have hope that authentic dialogue and better relations can come of this,” Felson said.

My comment:
The US do not send “aid” to Israel. The US have trade and defense relations with the Jewish state.
What this Church in the US is asking for, is similar to what 20 Muslim nations have done since 1948. “Boycott Israel, till we have got our hands back on our Palestine”.
To end “settlement expansion in disputed Palestinian territories”, is to declare war on the Word of God. Because these areas are the ancient Mountains of Zion. The Biblical districts are called Judea and Samaria.
And if the mountains of Zion ever gets “Juden free”, than the Presbyterian Church has managed to make Satan the true God. Because than the Prophetic books of the Bible are nothing but lies and falsehood.
You better chose wisely which side you want to be on.
Ultimately, the aim of groups like the World Council of Churches is not biblical.
WCC Secretary General Olav Fykse Tveit and the Pope agree that Zion does not belong to the Jews.
The World Council of Churches recently sponsored a debate on the situation of Christians in the Middle East.
This debate went unnoticed by most, but which provided another huge red flag in regards to the direction the Church is going as it relates to Israel and the Jews.
Meeting in Volos, Greece, a collection of 30 theologians, social scientists, politicians and church representatives. They labored for five days to decisively identify the reason for shrinking Christian communities across the Middle East.
They could have saved their time and their money for other things like, you know, feeding the poor, because everyone already knew what the conclusion was going to be.
Israel, and specifically Zionism, is making life untenable for Christians in the region, announced the group in its closing statement. “…conflict situations such as Palestine…have seen significant drops in the Christian populations because of Israeli occupation,” said the World Council of Churches, ignoring the myriad other reasons why Christians no longer feel comfortable or safe in a society where Hamas can win a landslide electoral victory.
In place like Egypt, where Christians are increasingly being targeted for their faith in the wake of “democratic” revolutions, the council attributed the shrinking Christian demographic to “economic and immigration realities.”
This was to be expected from the World Council of Churches, a Geneva-based organization that represents 347 Protestant churches and denominations, and counts among its constituents more than 500 million Christians world-wide.
In a 2007 conference in Jordan that also focused on dwindling Christian communities in the Middle East, the group called for a political crusade to end the Jews’ “occupation” of their biblical lands.
When it comes to the Christian situation in the Middle East, Islam is just not a problem. It’s all those pesky Jews.
The Church in general has a long history of dedicating resources to harassing the Jews and painting them as the “enemies of Christ(rians),” which the Bible specifically warns against.
Many thought we had moved beyond all that, that the horrors of the Holocaust had finally woken the Church to how wrong it had been.
In fact, those Christians involved today in this new brand of Israel-bashing will most loudly protest the label of anti-Semitism. But, as the saying goes, “methinks they do protest too loudly.”
What the World Council of Churches and others like it are doing is rebranding that most anti-Semitic of doctrines – Replacement Theology.
Instead of calling for their heads, this new brand of Replacement Theology sheds crocodile tears for the Jews as mistreated lost souls who once tasted God’s goodness, but have since been replaced as His “chosen” because of their rejection of Jesus.
They do not hate the Jews (at least not openly), but they believe the biblical promises made to national Israel have expired.
And that is where the State of Israel comes in. If God’s promises to national Israel are no longer valid, then modern Israel has nothing to do with biblical prophecy or God’s plan of global redemption.
And, if God’s big picture plans don’t include the reborn Jewish state, then these Christians feel freer to pursue their unbiblical humanist agenda – seeking what they call “social justice” for Palestinian Christians.
But Jesus never taught his followers to fight for “social justice” by seeking political sovereignty. He taught that His followers would be persecuted and should endure that situation with humility and meekness in order to reach their oppressors, real or perceived, with His message of love.
Ultimately, the aim of groups like the World Council of Churches is not biblical, it’s not even about genuine social justice.
Whether they know it or not, whether they accept it or not, their agenda is about advancing the cause of Islam and reversing what God is doing in this land.
Well said. Even though Jesus would have made it even more clear.
Mark 7:8-10 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
Another way to express the same:
Those who let go of the command of God, are doing the devils work. In regards to Israel, a lot of the devils work is being done in the name of “Jesus”.
Dear Jewish brethren.
That many false Christians do harm to you in the name of Jesus, must not block you from seeking and embracing the true Messiah, Yeshua from Nazareth. Many who believe in Jesus (English translation) are lovers of Israel and the Jewish people.
