Morford on MegaChurch Madness Part 7
Okay..he is not in drag exactly...I just morphed his head onto a young bride.
But here is your Bible lesson. Morford rightly notes the mysogynist tendencies of modern Christendom and how they are supported by the current situation. Whereas Jesus came as a liberator for all, and created unprecedented opportunity for women (and it was the women who supported his ministry pretty much), these goons would roll us back to the days of Eisenhower and the perfect little Stepford world. They'd have us go and sit passively in a church so large that we are utterly anonymous, then go home and plug into the Christian chennels and Fox News.
Just perfect. But I digress...
In biblical literature, the "Church" is feminine. The "Bride of Christ" is joined to him who is the living and sacrifical Husband.
That basically means that whenever guys like Dobson or Haggard "go to be with Jesus" they go as a bride!
Yeah...get ready to dress in white boys...Let's see how it goes for you when you are the Bride, cuz God loves to turn the tables.
All that to say, do not assume that because these Yahoos say they speak for God that they actually have a clue. They might, in fact, be "anti-Christos"...their words and actions may all be "bad news" when all God has for us is good.

word.
and i love the pic of dobosn in a wedding dress!
Isn't he a cutie-pie?
i wonder who his lucky groom is?
Here is my bead Tabs.
There is plenty of room in my universe and understanding for Dobson, as besmirched by power and fear as he has become (and he was not always like this). I cannit write him off anymore than I can anyone else. Grace is a serious and deep issue which is based in incarnation. Not my own foolishness, or Dobson's can easily dismantle it, if at all.
So his lucky groom is Jesus, I rather assume it'll be a bit of a shot-gun wedding there for a few moments. Some guys just do not know when and where to be properly submissive to their Significant Other in love.
You can apply that across the board.
