The Bible is a Queer Book: Homosexuality and the Bible (Bible Study series)
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 (7:00 PM)
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 (7:00 PM)
Tuesday, December 2, 2008 (7:00 PM)
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 (7:00 PM)
Tuesday Evening Bible Study with Pastor Bob Galloway begins again this Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 7:00 PM in the annex. Bob will take his popular seminar and teach it over an eight week period on Tuesday evenings. Want to know what the Bible does and doesn't say about homosexuality? Are those who criticize us right? Is there any foundation to their beliefs? What do educated theologians and pastors have to say about the topic? You may be in for a very pleasant surprise.
If you suffer from internalized homophobia caused by those who condemn you for your sexual orientation and expression, then you need to attend this course and discover that the Bible is a book of God's love and acceptance of you exactly the way God created you. Much of what we have been told by others about the Bible isn't exactly true and may in fact be far from God's truth as revealed in the scriptures. Escape from the Religious Right's thinking and condemnation! Join us this Tuesday evening!
