Debating Jesus’ Gender…Wait, What?!

Last updated on: May 10, 2012 at 11:57 am By Zack Hunt

So you think you’ve heard it all, then you read a story like this. To be fair, the “de-gendering” of Christ in the context of eucharistic theology is a wonderful and fascinating subject. The “de-gendering” of Jesus of Nazareth, however, seems like a rather ridiculous cry for attention. The debate over female clergy is an extremely important one, but I’ve got to think there are more, um, rational(?) ways of going about it. Academic claims Jesus Christ was... Read more

Theology On Tap

Last updated on: May 9, 2012 at 10:15 am By Zack Hunt

Apparently, Catholics have a lot more fun at their Bible studies than Protestants do…. (Via FloridaToday.com) Written by Lyn Dowling VIERA — Early on a Tuesday evening, the 20- and 30-somethings start to drift into the intimate little lounge at the back of Florida Wine & Spirits. They chat about work, kids and other aspects of their lives and the eternal questions of the happy hour for young adults: whether it would be wiser to purchase wine by the glass... Read more

Forget Mark Driscoll, This Pastor REALLY Hates Women

Last updated on: May 8, 2012 at 2:46 pm By Zack Hunt

Mark Driscoll has made his views on women in authority pretty clear. But this guy makes Driscoll look like a feminist in comparison. So who is this guy? His name is Jesse Lee Peterson and according to this site he is the founder of a group called Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. Catchy name. In an interesting side note, Fox News talking head Sean Hannity apparently sits on the advisory board of that organization. Why? Who knows. When... Read more

Unholy Night: A Nativity Story Remix

Last updated on: May 8, 2012 at 11:27 am By Zack Hunt

First, it was Pride and Prejudice that got the zombie treatment. Then, we learned that Abraham Lincoln was in fact a vampire hunter. Now, it seems that the nativity story is getting a remix of its own. From best selling author, Seth Graham-Smith, comes Unholy Night, an imaginative retelling of the nativity story in which the three wise men are actually three murderous thieves who escape from Herod’s prison, accidentally run into Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus as they are fleeing...

Jesus Announces World Will End June 30th

Last updated on: May 4, 2012 at 11:53 am By Zack Hunt

If you thought Harold Camping was off his rocker, that’s because you didn’t know about Jesus. That’s Jose de Luis de Jesus to be exact. And just to be clear, Mr. Jesus considers himself to be the Jesus. As in the Son of God. Seriously. He also calls himself the antichrist (not sure he fully grasps that concept) and has the members of his Growing In Grace International Church all get tattoos of the number 666 (again, not...

Pastor Becomes Atheist, Church Dissolves

Last updated on: May 3, 2012 at 10:44 am By Zack Hunt

This story is fascinating and perhaps telling about the cult of personality that fuels many churches today. Mike Aus, featured in the video below, is the former pastor of a church named Theophilus in Houston. For a variety of reasons, apparently theodicy was chief among them, Aus has become an atheist. Here’s his story via MSNBC…. It’s not unusual for people of faith, even pastors, to abandon their faith. What makes this story unusual is that Aus’... Read more

Pastor: ‘Punch The Gay Out Of Your Kids’

Last updated on: May 2, 2012 at 11:21 am By Zack Hunt

So, um, wow. Really? According to the senior pastor at Berean Baptist Church in Fayettville, NC, Sean Harris, if parents notice what they perceive to be homosexual tendencies in their children, they should punch them and that will somehow “knock the gay out of them”. [my paraphrase] This pastor has since claimed that he was just kidding. I’ve cracked my fair share of jokes during sermons. Most of them fall flat. A few get laughs. Personally, I find it incredibly... Read more

Benny Hinn Can Control God….And So Can You!!

Last updated on: May 2, 2012 at 8:08 am By Zack Hunt

We don’t post much about Benny Hinn. Mostly, because all of us can agree that he’s ridiculous, absurd, and a really tacky dresser. However, I came across this book at our church’s rummage sale and it made me groan chuckle. It’s a book on prayer that Benny wrote a while back which is guaranteed to “get results.” Apparently, the prayers he teaches you in the book are so powerful that they force God to do what you want....
