Can lesbians follow Christ?
Being a #Christian inevitably means discomfort in this world. #Jesus proclamation of the kingdom entailed #tribulation and the #cross bearing (John 16:31; Matt. 16:24). He offers comfort, but never says we won’t suffer. Why?Because following him means #Nonconformity with the ways of this world (Matt. 24:9). This is a missing element in much Gospel #proclamation today.

The study of #theology, as it stands in #Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion.
—Thomas Paine
Christian Nationalism was discredited as an ideology in South Africa 30 years ago. It's sad to see its corpse rising zombie-like from the grave in the USA now.
Here's what C.S. Lewis had to say about it.

The new book of my long-time collaborator, Seyed Javad Miri, has just been released. Critical theory can be done outside of Eurocentrism. It’s available through the publisher, Ekpyrosis Press, Amazon, and Lulu (all links below). #philosophy #sociology #psychology #history #theology #mysticism #Iran #Islam #MiddleEast #academia #Criticaltheory #academicmastodon #politics #politicalscience https://ekpyrosispress.com/product/towards-emancipation-decolonality-and-critical-social-theory-in-the-primordial-school-of-thought-by-seyed-javad-miri/
Been a few weeks, but here's a new post on the ol' blog (and not the one I accidentally deleted last night!), wherein I use a deeply nerdy Godzilla discussion as a launchpad for a discussion on narrative theology.
With the new instance I should have a new #introduction.
I am a working class independent researcher, mostly interested in #ViolenceStudies. I have been a student of #theology most of my life. I am interested in Space and Place, radical geography, feminist criticism, #poetry, Conflict Resolution, #ecology, and #astronomy.
I wrote a good deal about myself here: https://www.tilley.earth/
I write poetry almost daily and I have been writing poetry for just over 30 years.

I maintain that the most interesting epoch of Christianity was during the first 3 centuries and then it proceeded to get co-opted by power, and everything - EVERYTHING - went downhill from there.

Tonight we take a look at Ephesians 3 and the pretty radical idea that seems to have landed Saint Paul in prison: "Every ethnic group in heaven or on earth is recognized by God."
We go live at 6:00 pm Hawai'i time (or whenever after).

Charles Spurgeon was a particular Baptist preacher in London. Here he requests prayers for peace. Strife would stink. It would cause bloodshed. He says we should diligently promote those principles by which classes at home and races abroad may be bound together in amity.
Do we have people seeking strife abroad?
How can you promote peace?
