Happy Pride Week Halifax!

I watched this three times because the message is so good.  The  fact that the reverend of this faith can rejoice in diversity makes me wonder what hater preachers and haters get out of their faith, out of their hate?  I have been listening to the book Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang.  He is like Dan McClellan in that he is a biblical scholar; he knows the original manuscripts, times of use for each edition, and where different translations screw things up, and Fugelsang is a comedian, so he can throw it all out there with humor.   I recomend everyone try to find the book or the audio book.  He has whole chapters taking on the different haters and the clobber verses of the bible.  He shows what the original meaning, as far as can be known of each of those verses was, correcting the misunderstand and hate.   He like me feels that Christians follow Christ, biblcians follow the bible and they get that wrong because they don’t know the subtext or original intent; they hear only what the weekend preacher said who is preaching his version of the bible, not Christ’s.   Happy Pride week Halifax.  Long may your flags fly.   Hugs
