Huffington Post Promotes ‘Queer Christ’
Those who adhere to the gospel of liberal sexuality fall into two different camps when they discuss Jesus. Religious feminists argue that Jesus Christ had a relationship with Mary Magdalene. Religious homosexuals, on the other hand, portray Christ as gay, as the Huffington Post’s Kittredge Cherry did in a piece titled “Queer Christ Arises to Liberate and Heal.”
Cherry, herself a lesbian writing in the HuffPost Gay Voices section, launched her piece with a provocative and ridiculous claim: “Visions of a queer Christ are on the rise as Easter approaches this year – because the conventional Jesus is no longer enough.” The article supplemented that ‘vision” with a depiction of Jesus on the cross with the word “faggot” at the top, instead of “INRI,” like it appears in the Bible.
That would be news to the millions of Christians who do find the conventional Christ more than “enough” for their spiritual fulfillment. But what Cherry really seems to be arguing is that Christ needs to be converted into a gay icon in order to better promote the homosexual agenda.
Cherry’s argument then dives deep into the realm of hallucination, declaring: “Nobody knows for sure whether the historical Jesus was attracted to other men or felt like he was female inside. Some progressive Bible scholars do argue that Jesus had a homosexual relationship.”
So, based on the speculations of radical left-wing theologians which run contrary to 2000 years of Christian thought, Christ is clearly a homosexual.
Cherry continues by making Christ into an everyman figure for the homosexual community in a comment reminiscent of Tom Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath.” “Whenever anyone commits violence against another, Christ is crucified – including when LGBT people are attacked or killed for loving someone of the same sex,” she wrote.
This line of argument is laughable, coming from a community led by people like Dan Savage, who invents terms to slime his opponents and consistently describes his enemies in foul terms – when he isn’t busy hoping to hate f*** his enemies or inviting them to s*** his d***.
Cherry is absolutely correct to say that anyone who harms someone for having homosexual inclination is engaging in sinful behavior. But it is not “attacking” someone to say that a particular behavior is wrong and harmful to the person and others. Indeed, Christians view correcting others’ faults in a spirit of loving charity (called admonishing the sinner) as a Christian duty.
Cherry began her last paragraph with this ridiculous quote: “Being human, Jesus must have had sexual feelings. Being divine, Christ lives in every individual of every different shade of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
But being the perfect human, Christ was able to direct and control His impulses. Homosexuals are indeed welcomed by Christians – and can and do live happy and fulfilled lives – while still holding to Christian teachings on homosexuality.
Being divine, Christ “created man in his own image,” (Genesis 1:27), and declared to His followers: “from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female” (Mark 10:6) There are only two gender identities in Christ’s world: male and female.
Cherry’s article is riddled with distortions, half-truths, fantasies, and baseless speculations.
By attempting to re-envision Christ as a homosexual, Cherry and her fellow homosexual activists attempt to remake God in their own image. And their image of Christ bears little resemblance to the Christ of the Bible.

Liberal fulll court press
Submitted by ForeverOnTheRight on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 11:13am.
Good grief, the annual full court press assault on Christianity! They lie to your face in articles, TV documentaries and on the "news". Never do they allow a Christian minister/theologian that could speak to their nonsense. They know if they had a knowledgeable Christian that they would be blown out of the water and look like fools that they are..

homosexuality as a disorder, but after reading this piece of tripe, one would have to agree with the catechism that says that it is, or else come to the conclusion that these homosexual radicals are just plain evil for spouting their distortions contrary to KNOWN FACT.
They would give themselves licence by spouting these lies just so they can feel better about themselves... absolving themselves from any guilt, or otherwise seek out to actively destroy the Christian faith, again, so that they can feel good about their own weaknesses.
This oughta be a hate crime.

Standard Agenda
Submitted by John21 on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 11:25am.
The Huffington Post has the standard liberal agenda on all things but it would be nice if occasionally they would have someone that knew what they were writing about.
The bible says quite clearly the god can be all things to all people. Why do these people feel that they only thing that is worth talking about in religion is sex? If Christ had come to earth as a female I have no doubt that the Huffington post would find someone to write a story about her being a common street hooker in downtown Bagdad.
Since they seem to be so hung up on sex and the various deviant methods they seem to think everyone past, present and future must also be hung up on it too. I wish just once in a while they pulled their head out of their A@@ and view the real world.
Homosexuals not much different that Muslims!
Submitted by iamsaved on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 11:27am.
Both homosexuals and Muslims like to rewrite scripture and history to suit their arguments in order to practice their sinful practices. Truly these people are the pawns of Satan, the father of all lies.
2 Timothy 3:1-7 says it all...

72 virgins is only part being a martyr, 28 pre-teen boys is never mentioned, why? Was Allah homosexual or bixsexual?
The sad thing is, such evil falls easily from their minds.

And Jesus is "enough" for anyone, ma'am. Of course, when you love your sin more than you love Him, no attempt at making over His nature or character will do you any good.
The reference to 2 Timothy 3 is on point.

... by the lengths that liberal leg-humpers go to, to make someone and something that they don't even believe in, fit into THEIR political agenda!
I mean, "Is there NO God," or is there a queer/female/black/whatever the hell else you keep arguing God and Jesus are?!?
You morons need to make up what little mind you apparently have.
This country is in need of a good flush.
Complete Nonsense
Submitted by Henry Clay on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 12:33pm.
Although I like to consider myself a Liberal; I find this complete nonsense. Jesus was far too busy healing the sick, blind, and raising the dead to have a sexual preference. I feel even discussing this is heretical.

My Grandpa was quite a fisherman and really knew how to tell a "story" if you know what I mean, he used to tell me that he "slung the bull" now and then but occasionally he really liked to listen to a true professional....the professionals at slinging religious and political bull is (of course) the Huffington Post. They are truly accomplished bullshitters!!

"Do not be deceived, God can not be mocked. A man reaps what he sows" Galatians 6:7
I know I won't be focused on what critics say this Easter Sunday. That is what they want. This Sunday belongs to Christ and the commemoration of the beauty, the peace, the joy, the power, and the hope of an Empty tomb!

"woe to those who call evil
Submitted by okie-pastor on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 2:17pm.
"woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe unto those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." -Isaiah 5:20 - 24

trying to make Jesus over into her own image. She wont succeed either. Been tried too many times. And the Word always prevails.
Besides who reads this tripe anyway? That's a rhetorical question.
Hmmm.
Submitted by HockeyKid on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 2:32pm.
I'm betting that Ms. Cherry doesn't even consider the idea that that "Christ is crucified every time" someone commits a sin--such as engaging in homosexual behavior. Think about that--are you willing to drive those nails again, every time you want your selfish pleasures? Kinda puts a whole new spin on the idea of "banging", doesn't it?
I'm married. I can certainly admit that I find women other than my wife attractive. But guess what? I don't run around nailing (another uncomfortable term, eh?) them at will--that would be sinful. Indeed, Jesus teaches that even thinking about it is sinful, and grounds for repentance. Obviously, I don't run around trying to convince other Christians that Jesus would encourage us to engage in such sinful behavior--that would be ridiculous, and even more sinful.
But I'm tilting at windmills, I know. Those of Ms. Cherry's ilk don't recognize, understand, or appreciate logic and reason.
They just want to nail...and Jesus loves them in spite of it, not because of it.

Every Christmas, every
Submitted by ant on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 3:37pm.
Every Christmas, every Easter. The re-invention or condemning of Christ occurs on schedule from the leftist press every year. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little tit-for-tat? Like, everytime a Mooooslem holiday or gay celebration comes around we would find numerous articles tearing their beliefs apart and celebrating Christ instead? I'm actually surprised..considering most idiot libtards think we have a conservative majority media, that we never do see that.
