Notes from the Balcony

Ongoing comment and dialogue on being a new church in a new world - A Blog by John Montgomery

[The Bible] is not, for a start, a list of rules, though it contains many commandments of various sorts and in various contexts. Nor is it a compendium of true doctrines, though, of course, many parts of the Bible declare great truths about God, Jesus, the world and ourselves in no uncertain terms. Most of its constituent parts, and all of it when put together (whether in the Jewish canonical form or the Christian form), can best be described as story. This is a complicated and much-discussed theme, but there is nothing to be gained by ignoring it. - N.T. Wright

For The Bible Tells Me So

News Source: RMN Flashnet

Dan Karlake's provovative new film was announced winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival. This entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without feeling obliged to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp (as a literal reading of scripture dictates).

I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's equally educatіve and іntегesting, аnd without
a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I'm veгу happy that I came acrοss this during my hunt for somеthing relating to this.
