Subject: "Truth" and true respect Author: Liberal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:28:25 06/23/04 Wed In reply to: lil bow mike 's message, "Re: Seeking Jesus in Queer theory (LOVE)" on 20:52:19 06/21/04 Mon >We knew the definiton of Love and truth from Christ. "Foucault said that we are living in a prison (panopticon) and everything is disciplined since we were born, for instance: school, university, parents, church and institution. ¡¥Truth¡¦ and meaning is already controlled and discoursed by power and resistance." If we probe deeper, is the defintion of love and truth we know "from Christ" is in fact controlled and discoursed by power and resistance in the Chruch? Don't forget that all we learn about Jesus are from the Bible and the Bible is in fact the interpretation of Jesus by the Church. >why dont we...spread the gospel around GLBT? True respect for GLBT means not to single them out for doing something (eg evangelism). They are human beings as all of us are. They need the gospel no more urgently than "the straights" do. So let us spread the gospel, not spread the gospel to whom and whom. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
