Doesn’t matter who you are: if you support White Supremacy as an out gay man, you get a job at the White House… lots of ‘em!

Donald Trump’s Big Gay White House

Mr. Moran, 44, is the pasha of a new power tribe in the capital: the gay men of the Trump administration.

These are the A-Gays. They’re (mostly) out, they’re proud (to work for President Trump) and they have big jobs inside (or alongside) this administration. They wield influence all over town, from the Pentagon to the State Department to the White House to the Kennedy Center.

“We’re like Visa,” Mr. Moran said. “Everywhere you want to be.”

He sipped a dirty vodka martini and surveyed the room. Two Republican men waved at him from across the club. “Both gay,” he explained. This was also true of the middle-aged Trump appointee who ambled over a moment later to catch up. But apparently not so of the young-looking White House aide who approached a few minutes after that. “Straight as an arrow,” Mr. Moran said as the aide walked away.

He laughed and added, “I hang out with my straights just as easily as I hang out with my gays.”

Jesus Ignores Sola Fide; Prefers Loving Care For Community

Jesse is making heavy weather of 16th century theological notions that contributed to the formation of protestantism. Especially, lately, the principle known as sola fide, coined by Martin Luther.

Luther began the effort to elasticize St Paul’s dialectic of Law into an attack on 16th century Catholic moral systems of casuist...

Not a book

In John 14, Jesus makes clear that after him the Holy Spirit will come to us, as his disciples, to “teach us everything” and to build us up in love. No mention of a book. A lot of bible worshippers love idolatry. So what is scripture for? Exactly what it does: to point us to the Incarnation of God, Jesus the Christ, and to the sustainer of faith and love, God the Holy Spirit. With God the Father, then, scripture tells us to worship the Holy Trinity. Not itself. Scripture even itself encodes the teaching that faithful attention to God’s revelation will build wisdom beyond scripture: In Acts 11, Peter rushes back to Jerusalem to explain to the elders that he accepted Gentiles Christians only after the Holy Spirit has to berate him 3 times to so. “Now the apostles and the brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.  So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him,   saying, “Why did you go to uncircumcised men an...
