Less Summer, More Here



Backstory

Triple Double Backflip.




Tobias Haller did a great article on how "porneia" can't be used in reference to homosexuality.

Speaking of Progressive Christianity...

People assume I'm one because of my stance on homosexuality when I'm as traditional as an old Pentecostal pastor with saying "The Bible says it and I believe it!" Pretty much the definition of a traditionalist. But I wonder, how did a seemingly more loving Christianity called "Progressive Christianity" turn into chipping away at Bible inerrancy to where few pieces are left over? I think the fear traditionalists have is that this is a slippery slope of; "If we interpreted wrong about homosexuality, what else was interpreted wrong?" Undermining the reliability of the Bible when this is ONLY ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY WITH SPECIFIC VERSES and not a "type" of Christianity, progressive or otherwise. The Church had no problem revising their Biblical view with African-Americans. Some will say "but sexuality is not race," But it doesn't matter because there was no distinction with both from what was then an understanding of specific verses with only one group (African-Americans) being revisited with the verses later and the Biblical view changed. When these same people are asked to revisit the verses with the other group (homosexuals), they scoff at the very thought of it. My argument is; "The Bible didn't change, our understanding of it did." But this will only come about by sound hermeneutics without bias and real love for our LGBTQ neighbor.

Freshly Sliced Sandia

My Summer has been a bust, I blame the anti-Christ. And to stick it to him I'm posting some news that happened while I was gone.

Remember Tony Perkins? I know you don't because I never posted about him. This elder statesman with the anti-gay set says natural disasters are from God for being pissed at the likes of gay marriage happening. Well, a flood of "Biblical Proportions" (his own words) gushed through his home with him and his family barely escaping in a canoe they happened to have had laying around.
Maybe God will get him next time.

This has been in the news because people are relishing in the delicious irony. But what isn't widely known is that the people who were giving donations for the flood victims in the area through a local church called "Greenwell Springs Baptist Church," were actually giving to Perkins (who's their "pastor by absence") to rebuild his own house (Greenwell is a front for Perkins' designated hate group the "Family Research Counsel"). On top of THAT, the FRC is one of the richest hate groups around with support from the wealthy and well hidden DeVos family who are also supporting racist school vouchers along with other unsavory endeavors.



When I first posted this in 2016, I had no idea Trump would bring these ghouls (Perkins and the DeVos kin) together.

The "Other" White Meat

I once received a comment telling me not all Christians are anti-gay. I wrote back; "Then why don't you stand up to your brethren that are?" I try to nudge these Christians who sit silent in a corner to actually speak up. These loud-mouthed, anti-gay, Christian bullies are the face of Christianity to the un-believing world while other Christians who actually get what the 'Golden Rule' is all about seem to all be hiding under blanket forts, in caves or making every effort to hide themselves. These "Good" Christians with homosexuality don't want to make waves with "Bad" Christians with homosexuality because they tend to be less confrontational unlike their anti-gay kin who can't shut up. That's now changing. NALT

Tutti Fruttuti

Italian Christians celebrate "Day Against Homophobia." Makes you wonder if French Christians, Belgium Christians etc, are celebrating the day hiding behind their sofas so you can't see them from the front window.
