the queer blasphemy game

Real Clear Investigations reports on queer theology. After posting a few blasphemous examples, they go on to what is behind this (aside from Satan of course).

These examples from this year and last are just a few illustrating how progressive churches are moving beyond gay rights, even beyond transgender acceptance, and venturing into the realm of "queer theology." Rather than merely settling for the acceptance of gender-nonconforming people within existing marital norms and social expectations, queer theology questions heterosexual assumptions and binary gender norms as limiting, oppressive and anti-biblical, and centers queerness as the redemptive message of Christianity.

In this form of worship, “queering” encourages the faithful to problematize, disrupt, and destabilize the assumptions behind heteronormativity and related social structures such as monogamy, marriage, and capitalism.

These provocative theologians and ministers assert that queerness is not only natural and healthy but biblically celebrated. They assert that God is not the patron deity of the respectable, the privileged, and the comfortable, but rather God has a “preferential option” for the promiscuous, the outcast, the excluded and the impure.hese examples from this year and last are just a few illustrating how progressive churches are moving beyond gay rights, even beyond transgender acceptance, and venturing into the realm of "queer theology."

Perverse, blasphemous, narcissistic, heathenish, heretical and cultish are the ways in which queer theology will appear to traditional Christians and to many nonreligious people with a conventional notion of religion. Robert Gagnon, a professor of New Testament theology at Houston Baptist Seminary, described the movement as a form of Gnosticism, referring to a heresy that has surfaced in various periods of church history. Followers of Gnostic cults claimed they possessed esoteric or mystical knowledge that is not accessible to the uninitiated and the impure, Gagnon said, a belief that often leads to obsessive or outlandish sexual practices, like radical abstinence and purity, or libertinism and licentiousness. robgagnon.net Robert Gagnon, theology professor: Queer theology is like Gnosticism -- a heresy. robgagnon.net Beneath the theological posturing about disrupting power, he said, is an insatiable will to accumulate power. “They’re only for subversion until they’re in power,” Gagnon said. “And then they’re adamantly opposed to subversion.” Shore-Goss initially agreed to a phone interview for this article, then canceled with a rushed email: “Wait a second I searched Real Clear Investigations and it is a GOP organization, and I will not help you in the GOP cultural genocide of LGBTQ+ people. They are full of grace and healthy spirituality.” Isaac Simmons, the Methodist drag queen known as Penny Cost, also initially agreed to an interview, excited to hear that this reporter had read six queer theology books, sections of other books, along with other materials: “Just about all of those books are on my bookshelf!! You are definitely hitting the nail on the head!” But Simmons/Cost never responded to follow-up emails to set up a phone call. Other queer theology experts either declined comment or did not respond. One, based in England, requested a “consultation fee.”

Encountering the established scholarly oeuvre of queer theology is an introduction to titles like “Radical Love,” “Rethinking the Western Body,” “Indecent Theology,” “The Queer God,” and “The Queer Bible Commentary,” a tome co-edited by Shore-Goss that “queers” every book in the Old Testament and New Testament, exceeding 1,000 pages. Queer theologians invite readers to see God as a sodomite, Jesus as a pervert, the disciples as gay, the Trinity as an orgy, and Christian unconditional love as a “glory hole.”

By “queering” holy writ and “cruising” the scriptures – two of the ways in which queer theologians use gay slang to describe their hermeneutical strategy – God’s revelation is “coming out” (of the closet), and those who opt to transition their gender experience the power of Christ’s resurrection. In the apocalyptic proclamation of the pioneering queer theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid: "The kenosis [self-emptying] of omnisexuality in God is a truly genderfucking process worthy of being explored."

Queer theology presents itself as an apocalyptic, revival movement, rendering queer people as angels and saints who are a living foretaste of what’s to come, when all binaries and man-made social constructs fall away as remnants of heterosexual oppression and European colonialism. There is a sense in which to be queer is to be the chosen people, those favored by God to spread the good news. 

it gets worse. it's a gnostic gospel where you are superior to ordinary folk because you are smart and know God's secrets.

There are similarities to the Cathars (who opposed marriage but promiscous sex was okay) and the cult behind Rasputin (sin and have orgies and it shows God is good because he can forgive you all that stuff...Paul discusses this in one of his letters).

Sigh.

reminds me of the intellectuals determined to undermine the family by pushing gender theory.

all of these things are a denial of the reality of the body, and have the aim to destroy the family, the church, and of course, one of the side effects will be fewer children, something the NWO is promoting on many levels.

three days darkness

 lots of the end of the era stuff out there.

I am reading about the smoke from Canada making it dim in parts of the USA... we saw this out west from fires, but it's rare in the east (I remember only one severe episode of this back in the 1960s) 

this happened in Europe when one Icelandic volcano went off a few years ago.

And WILI news has a list of such things:

Local Weather History: The Dark Day of 1780 In New England & Black Sunday of 1950 & How It Is All Tied to Our Weather

Extremely thick smoke from massive Canadian forest fires turned skies to dusk in the middle of the day in New England in 1780. A similar situation occurred in 1950.

Another similarly dark day occurred Oct. 19, 1762.,,

nah, they'll blame global warming of course.

uh oh: WE got another volcano starting to spew ash.

so is the prophecy of three days of darkness (where if you go outside you die) a variation on darkness from smoke from massive fires, or from volcanic ash?

And yes man made pollution can do this too: Great Smog of London 1952
