The course, which will launch in the fall of 2018 through Swarthmore’s religion department, will examine the Bible through a queer lens. It will examine issues of sex, gender, and identity as they present themselves in one of human history’s most influential texts.

“This course surveys queer and trans* readings of biblical texts. It introduces students to the complexity of constructions of sex, gender, and identity in one of the most influential literary works produced in ancient times,” the course description reads. “By reading the Bible with the methods of queer and trans* theoretical approaches, this class destabilizes long held assumptions about what the bible — and religion — says about gender and sexuality.”

In another course offered in the department called “Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology” the attempt is made to argue that God is a female...

Someone needs to point out that if they’re going to teach about sex, that they are doing it wrong.

Agreed. THAT would be daring.

Let me note for the 20th time that queers have done more to attack and damage Christianity on the domestic front than the Muslims ever dreamed. And yet, normal people use homosexual jargon referring to them as gay.

...will examine the Bible through a queer lens.

Kind of funny since the Bible is set up to be viewed through a human lens....

I guess the good news is they want to find a way for them to view the Bible....

Old hat.

I remember stuff like this back in the 1970s (in NYC).

Let's see how brave they really are. Queering the Quran.

‘May the full wrath of the holy God be upon them’

what is the ‘wrath of God’ going to do to them, if they don’t believe...?

AMEN, tflabo.

I know this is an old thread, but I got back to the computer today, and cannot fail to post this:

The VERY FIRST sin, which condemned all mankind to living in a fallen state, in a fallen world was the result of AN INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION OF GOD’S WORD. Eve was seduced by Satan’s questioning of the “true meaning” of God’s word.

Lies and word games are the stock-in-trade, go-to method of Satan. Every time you hear someone try to twist definitions so that they can justify their actions (...what the meaning of “is” is; “gay”; “hate”; etc. ad nauseum), they are doing the work of their father, the devil.

John 8:44 - [Jesus is speaking] “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
