God

This Christian teacher wants to “even out the playing ground” by bringing Jesus into the classroom.

If it wasn’t for veiled scriptures and rules across Abrahamic religion, would there have ever been “religious” justifications to persecute people based on same-sex sexuality and gender diversity?

You say it best when You say nothing at all.

She said she was praying about whether she should run for the Senate. Now God has answered.

Clergy will now be encouraged to simply say “God,” instead of “Lord” and “He/Him/His.”

And he had advice for a woman married to a narcissist. Hello, Melania?

The actor could be fined up to $27,000.

So far, the radio preacher has not threatened Skittles for its advertising campaign urging consumers to “eat the rainbow.”

These “people have been trying to destroy America. These left-wingers and so-called progressives are trying to destroy the country that we love.”

“We just wanted to let you know that if you do believe in Jesus, Jehovah, Vishnu, or anyone else, well that he, or she, loves gay people just as much as straight people.”

Rather than blaming LGBT people, start to embrace science to save humanity from itself.

“God does not approve of homosexuality or gay marriage.”

If part of a person’s expression of faith means treating people unequally, denying rights of others and making them a target of their fear, that faith is not aligned with the God of the Bible. They may be aligned with a God of a party or a denomination, but they are missing the heart of the Father God, the One who created and loves His children. Every one of them.

In all of the years in which FRC has attacked same-sex households or gay adoption, the organization has never pushed, suggested, or even slightly initiated any type of plan encouraging folks in what it claims to be “perfect family units,” i.e. heterosexual mother/father households into adopting children.

At the other end of the spectrum, are affirming Christians and denominations who welcome equality in both ordinations and unions. Then, in that big middle majority space are the ones who are still trying to decide where they land on the issues of inclusion and reconciliation of faith and orientation. Those are the ones I am challenging.

One of the most severe forms of bullying is the misuse of the Word of God — with its intrinsic message of love — to try to coerce anyone to conform and worse, to do harm to people.

Be advised, you do not dictate the rules for God’s House of Worship. God does have a much better way. If you can’t figure it out or understand it, get out of the way, because a revival is hitting the LGBT Christian community and more are navigating their way around your “repent or burn” banners…

I don’t appreciate anyone telling me that God has a better way in a context that is only used to change or “fix” me into what they think God wants for me. What about what I have come to know God wants for me? They are not serving Jesus, they are serving their own ignorance…

I’ve recently been invited to a couple of gay weddings. So — what with being Christian and all — I asked myself the famous, “What would Jesus do?” (Which I don’t too often ask myself, actually, since Jesus could, for instance, raise people from the dead and turn water into wine, whereas I can barely […]
