Luthernans & Catholics Contemplate The Reformation's Pending 500th Anniversary
National Cathedral Dean An Atheist
As justification, the clergyman claims Jesus referenced his father but that this does not necessarily mean God.
Then who exactly is the father of Jesus?
Was it the blond-haired, blue-eyed Germanic Roman solider stationed in Palestine as conjectured by one of the translators of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible?
Is the baby-daddy of the Christ Child one of the saucer men as hypothesized by the Chariot of The Gods theory?
The Bible doesn't speak much in favor of gay marriage and says even less about gun control.
However, that certainly hasn't prevented Dean Hall from often commenting enthusiastically on behalf of these causes trendy among leftists.
One of the most profound questions anyone will ever answer was originally raised by Jesus and directed towards His Disciples when He asked who did they say that He was.
If one responds with anything but the Son of God and second person of the Trinity yet has made Christian ministry one's occupational vocation, the only purpose for having done so is to drag as many as possible along with you into the pits of Hell.

Conservative Baptists & Liberal Presbyterians Slug It Out Over The Wrath Of God
Are The Chronicles Of Narnia A Gateway To Paganism?
For the record, I do not think they are.
Another question to ask, is if so bad, why don't Fundamentalists attempt providing a speculative narrative alternative.

Undressing Assumptions In A Church Clothing Debate
For example, it is probably best for those holding elected, ecclesiastical, or professional office to adorn themselves worthy of the part as they execute their duties.
However, it does not follow that the remainder of us should be similarly miserable if we are not enjoying the same degree of prestige, payment or opportunity.
Relatedly, sometimes those latching onto this complaint insist one can no longer distinguish between men and women in contemporary America.
Yet other than assorted gays, certain men with long hair, and women with eating disorders in serious need of treatment, it is not that difficult to tell the difference between a man and woman in a pair of jeans or slacks.
If solving that mystery stumps you, perhaps one ought to spend a little less time in scholastic isolation and instead study the intricacies of the human form.
In a Facebook exchange regarding this issue of attire in the church, for suggesting that there is nothing wrong with the average attender adorning themselves a bit more casually while it is probably better for the clergy to dress a bit more solemnly, it was hinted at that I was undermining my usual position of vocational equality.
But foremostly, the validity of that allegation depends on what is meant by equality.
The pastor is to lead the order of service within the church.
That's why one does not shout out how full of it many of them are in the middle of the service.
However, the pastor is not in charge of my home or what goes on in my head.
That is why in my vocation as a critic under the First Amendment why I am able to convey my findings and conclusions to a broader audience through social media upon my return home.
It was also observed that most dress better for work or a restaurant than they do for church.
However, those particular places have established rules regarding what one must wear if one does not want one’s access to such places restricted or rescinded.
Unless one is on its administrative staff, such regulations do not normally exist for a house of worship.
Do we want to start barring those not deemed “good enough” in terms of outer formality from entering the house of God?
These days, so long as the “strategic areas” of the anatomy are concealed, shouldn’t we just be glad someone shows up at all in light of all the other options competing for someone’s time and attention?
