Here's Ganswein's reaction.
Well, everyone's entitled to their own incorrect two-bit opinions.
He is a $3 bill. His opinions are irrelevant.
"Oh, are you saying the opinions of all queers are irrelevant?"
Only when they express them!
It's Divine, you see. Outside the ambit of mere human logic.
There's nothing new under the sun they say, and so it is with McKellan's twaddle. The 20th century saw the rise of entire countries and empires which indoctrinated their citizens unceasingly with exactly what McKellan says: the Bible is mere fiction.
The result? Well let's just say that those empires crumbled, faith survived and indeed grew. Just as it now grows in China.
McKellen is to be pitied. Pray for him.
It has long been known that those who live in open defiance of God and His expressed will usually denigrate it.
Hey Ian, please take this up with the Author of the Bible.
How true. How true.
Peter found out that he could walk on water when he had faith, but sank when he had doubts.
Peter was doing fine until he took his eyes off Jesus. As long as he had faith, he did impossible things to do without God's help. He kept his eyes on Jesus and walked on water. When he looked around at the world, he started believing that the storm was going to defeat him.BTW, Ian. The eyewitnesses, Christ's followers in the boat, were mighty impressed when they saw Jesus and Peter walking on the water.He lost faith. He took his eyes off Jesus, and he began to sink.
And Peter gave the eyewitnesses a vivid demonstration of what can happen to people who lose faith.
Yeah, this old poofter is such a Bible expert. He claims his hobby is to tear out the "homosexual activity is an abomination" pages from the Gideon Bibles he finds in hotels. Right. This is REALLY going to make an impact. What an infantile person. Onto my prayer list with you, McKellen!
Of course he thinks it's fiction. It doesn't support his queer lifestyle.
He's a queer, and an atheist, which explains his animus against Christianity.
You mean "Grandolf the Gay"?
Now, now, let's all go easy on Sir Ian McKellan...we need to remember what they will say about him when he is gone...."Died without issue"
Scientists don't always know everything.
Scientists have only very recently discovered why some insects can walk on water.
They'd been believing the wrong scientific explanation for some years.
Walking on Water: Insect's Secret Revealed, By Robert Roy Britt, 03 November, 2004
Until now, scientists thought this seemingly Biblical ability was due to a wax secreted on the insect's legs combined with surface tension, a property of water that makes its boundary behave something like stretched Saran Wrap for small things.At one time, scientists thought planes couldn't break the sound barrier; didn't know that the atom could be split; didn't know that X-rays could be created; etc.But new research finds the water strider's legs are covered with microscopic hairs that trap tiny air bubbles, allowing the insect to simply float.
Ian McKellen lacks an open mind, almost as much as he lacks faith.
