How could god let this happen . Does god hate women . How would you answer that question . The abuse of women that you refer was in the past tense but its still going on around the world and in the United States as well. And i would say that god does not hate women. I happened to be a christian, and it would be a fruitless search to look for the scriptures and find one single instance where jesus did not treat women either equal or superior to men. And, unfortunately, though, in the entire concept of the bible, 36,000 or so versus, if you are a male and you want to consider yourself superior in the eyes of god, you could find a verse here or there that might confirm your police. But when i have a problem of that kind, i teach bible study every sunday at my local church, about half the time from the hebrew text and have from the new testament but when i get in a quandary about some comparisons that can be difficult, i turned to the words and i see jesus christ to be please with almost e

Maybe before we open it up i would be interested to hear where do you see that sight of hope . Where do you see something being made out of nothing, the sort of black tradition . Is there a possibly that there is, if the black church is dying, some sort of resurrection . Is there collaboration . Was the prospect of moving the conversation in a meaningful way in this moment . Real good question, and in my experience theres a lot of hope in the pew, the pulpit is largely in the way. A critique of clergy, because folks know whats wrong.

Or you feel something is wrong but you dont know what it is. What that says is that remedial christianity has to be consciousnessraising christianity. For instance, we touched on democracy but democracy is something that is not just some abstract word thats out there. Somethin
Acquittal when the senate votes wednesday. In between all of that, the president delivers his state of the Union Tuesday on the verge of in his mind vindication.
