Logos Bible Software has gone woke!
I’m creeped out that legos has a bible themed set. That’s weird and sacrilegious.
The word has gone out.
so what is the trouble?
How can we rip them if we are clueless of what we are ripping them for?
I’ll take that over the insane/scary “nativity” they put up in the Vatican last Christmas. It looked like a scene out of an Aliens movie
God’s Word. Black Voices. Experience faith and Scripture through the eyes of African American writers.
OK, I guess we are supposed too believe God cares about your skin color.
Hm, new to me.
Sorry....Logos is running their “black history month” sale by black authors.
Problematic that these idiots want to look at scripture through the racist lens, because throughout Ancient History, Roman, Greek, whatever, nobody really cared about race. The only ‘racists’ were the Greeks because they called everybody who wasn’t Greek a barbarian.
Racism really only took off with the coming of Dialectical Materialism.
Obviously God cares about skin color, we also know he cares about zebras, and chameleons, albinos, and black cats too.
P.S. and don’t forget the lilies of the valley
My university was demanding we lecturers come up with themed lessons to do with Black History Month. (The Academic Director is pretty woke, an surprisingly, us faculty are not, for a Bay-Area college.
Needless to say, we all blew off that request.
So we were given a laundry list of things to do. More Bullshit tasks incoming, no doubt.
Acts 8:26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[a] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
33
In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”[b] 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
I have several books by black theologians and ministers some quite old and I think they would be rather upset with their books being promoted this way. As if their work for Christ was nothing next to their skin shade.
Odds are he was black but that wasn't the point of the passage.
the company I work for has gone woke.....very big shift for this outfit.
And, the sparrow.
God is a racist. So is Jesus; Jesus died for the HUMAN race. He didn’t die for ducks, or turtles, or penguins.
Your post is good, except, it is missing verse 37, a vital component of salvation.
