I can. I don't care if you "gay is a choice" morons believe it or not, but I just hit puberty and found myself attracted to men. I accept it that there are idiots out there who will never understand this. I have accepted losing jobs because of my sexuality, I have accepted the fact that people will assault me, hate me judge me and criticize me, and I accept that if there is a hell, I am going. However I do know my bible, and a sin is a sin in thought word and deed, correct? The bible says that being gay is a sin, but it also says that "whatsoever you do to the least of (Christ's) brothers that you have done unto him." Judging is a sin, be it in thought word or deed. When you judge you place your own judgements above God's. Thou shalt have no other gods, especially not yourselves. Repentence is not a simple "I'm sorry God!", it's a solemn oath never to commit the same sin again, but when you commit these sins in thought word and deed, you aren't even sorry--you don't think you have done

Who should I tithe to more... Santa Claus or Jesus? Both want my money for something. I prayed to both and Santa said (I think), "Ho ho ho!" Does this mean I should give my tithing to "Ho's"? Please help!

People, I don't mean in prayer, not your assumption you are having a conversation with God. I mean like a WTF? moment. Complete with a head jerk, a booming voice etc. Lets rule out voices heard while intoxicated, pranks, mental illness, brain tumors, not realizing your bluetooth is in your ear, your Tivo going to live television over your suround sound speakers and your TV was off, clock radio coming on.....etc, etc.

Exodus 13:20-22
20 After leaving Succoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. 21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

I have the true answer to this so called miracle..but do you know? Forget the hocus pocus stuff. There is a simple explanation which I seem to be the only one on the planet who knows. Should I make a Movie to explain it? And also to explain the other so called miracles and enigmas of the Bible? I think it will open things hidden from the foundation of the world! Revelations for the human mind, still stuck in cave mode for the most part, to understand.

It doesn't make any sense. And Christians put so much emphasis that he gave us his ONLY son. Why doesn't he just make another one. I mean he is all powerful. It can't be that hard when you can do absolutely anything. I mean he created light in an empty vacuum of space, I'm sure he could manage one more son.

I apologize if you see my comparisons as satirizing. I don't believe in religion and have a satirical view towards it. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to serious answers and explanations.

Black Liberation Theology is not the only Liberation Theology movement among minorities. Blk Liberation assumes Blk people speaking for themselves as in the case of Feminist Liberation Theology, Asian Liberation Theology and (the most popular) Latin Liberation Theology.

Most accuse Liberation Theology of having Marxist overtones or suggestions but I have not found that to be true. Most Liberation Theology movements are really "voices from the margins of society" who speak directly to a people who experience systematic, racial, gender discrimination or biases. (Some Evangelical Scholars make the case that Liberation Theologies are reactionary movements, I still disagree with that).

(HERE IS THE MAJOR POINT)

Most of what we consider Standards Biblical Interpretation is based on Euro-centric Evangelical models. (I will blog often on this site please ask if you want specifics).

WHY IS THIS: Most published conversations (books and commentaries) about theology are based in Europe (Germany, England, Spain and Italy).

I have been to seminary so I know this for a fact: MOST OF THE STUDY OF CHRISTIAN HISTORY IS BASED IN EUROPE. However, Europe was not the only continent to make global contributions to Christianity.

(A BASIC POINT ABOUT THEOLOGY)

Theology is not simply based on DIRECT DIVINE INTERPRETATION. Everyone who interprets a text, just as in literature, brings their history, experience, and world views to the table. This is called a HERMANUTIC OF SUSPICION. (Lord I wish I had a spellcheck. lol)

Since most conversations about theology are from European males and based on Euro male interpration of scripture and CHRISTIANITY, NATURALLY people who have different world views, experiences and come from different traditions are going to feel isolated.

LET ME HELP YOU: DECONSTRUCT LIBERATION MOVEMENTS

(Most liberation Theologies scriptural interpretations are informed by a particular groups experiences of oppression, cultural perspectives, collective history)

IN STUDYING LIB. THEOLOGY HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT KEY ASPECTS TO FOCUS ON:

1. Literary Interpretation of CHRIST
as a Divine HERO THAT OVERCOMES OVERWHELMING OPPRESSION FROM THE SYSTEM (Rome and Jesus' own people)
Think of a super hero figure like Superman, Batman and etc.


2. JESUS WAS BORN IN A LOWLY MANGER OF HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Look for an "underdog" interpretation of scripture. References are ussually made to the fact that there was no room in the end or the Son of God had no place to lay his head.

3. CRUCIFIXITION & RESURRECTION

Literary interpretation, Jesus died speaking truth to power. (Healing the sick, raising the dead, bulking the establishment, and performing miracles on the Sabbath)

He did not reject the mission to "bring the Kingdom of Justice and Truth down to earth as it already is in heaven."

His goals to lift the oppress was pursued on the basis of principles and not outcomes.
He (Jesus) did not care that his mission would lead to his eventual and inevitable death on the cross.


Liberation Theology is not a theology that is based on any group claiming superiority over another, but it is about a particular group or ethnicity that has been marginalized by society speaking for themselves about theology. (Hermeneutic of Suspicion)

JUST A QUESTION:

1. Does anyone get offended with the titles "Greek" Orthodox, "Russian" Orthodox, & "Roman" Catholic? Should people of different ethnicities be offended by such titles?

2. When Greek Orthodox have festivals that celebrate Greek Culture, Greek family structures, Greek Traditions, and Greek food, would you consider them separatist?

3. Let's look at other religious traditions. Should I feel uncomfortable going to a Mosque or a Synod because both religions are so closely tied to culture that it is hard to distinguish one from another? Should we call Jew's separatist because of they have "family ethics" that are particular to Jews. (My grandmother is Jewish)


Is seperatist a "pretty new" title for denominations or church communities that I am not comfortable or familiar with?

Say what you will about Dr. Jeremiah Wright, but he is right on one thing. "If you are going to talk about Theology, you must talk about it in context."

I have read Sean Hannity's bio. He attended a catholic high school that called itself a seminary.(It is no longer in existence. It closed in the 1980's). He also did not even finish a 2 yr college. Sean has NO experience or understanding of theology and it was obvious. I do not understand how FOX let's it's analyist/journalist get away with that.

Dr. Jeremiah Wright probably came across as rude because Sean came across as if he were not really interested in interviewing Dr. Wright. It seemed to me that he wanted to expose an agenda.

FOX really should demand better. Why couldn't they have atleast found a conservative journalist who understands "a little" about Blk Liberation Theology and it's prominant authors (Dr. James Cone, Dr. Dwight Hopkins, Dr. Cain Hope Felder).

PURE AND SIMPLE

Sean Hannity provoked a DOG fight with a Pit-bull. His little smart Alex comments, "Pray for me Reverend" and calling his church a cult before the Pastor even got a chance to explain what the website was about. Then when the Reverend tried to explain, he cut him off on several occasions. Sean was GRANDSTANDING. I guess that is what brings in great ratings!!

I think a "properly" seasoned journalist WHO HAS AN ACADEMIC BACKGROUND IN JOURNALISM as well as experience would have handled that differently and the outcome would have been different.

If God comes in many forms than are all "Good" religions the same thing at the core? (By good I mean religions that teach values and principles that are just and right, not some violent cult based on hatreds). If less than one fifth of the world is Christian, is it possible to send that many people to hell, is it right, just because they do not believe all the things Christians do? Or do you think that in the core, it all boils down to the same ultimate truth (whatever it is), the same god, the same things, and that we merely worship and beleive in different ways? I do.

Seems to me that wasn't such an awful sacrifice. He had maybe 30 to 50 more years on an earth filled with sickness, disease, death, hatefulness, pain, and misery, and so much more awfullness and then to finally die and go to heaven anyway. That dieing for our sins just doesn't make sense to me. Jesus gave up his short mortal life to live forever in heaven. What did God get out of this besides getting his son back in heaven beside him sooner?
