Ned Hairston :hehim: :theythem:<p>I'm working on an original translation of the Bible. My goal is to let the words of scripture guide my translation rather than reading a favored theology into the text. As the saying goes, "Where the Bible speaks, we speak, where it is silent, we are silent." In addition to being a formal equivalence, I try to preserve original idioms (with clarification in the footnotes), poetic and metaphorical language, and distinct synonyms (ie. land/ground/dust) where possible.</p><p>The text is available under a Creative Commons license. And it is available at a website, and as an ebook, though it is still incomplete.</p><p>Please support my translation work:<br>☕ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/wltbible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ko-fi.com/wltbible</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>📖 <a href="https://wlt.ct.ws" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">wlt.ct.ws</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Bible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bible</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Tanakh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tanakh</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Torah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Torah</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Religion</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Church" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Church</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ChurchOfChrist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChurchOfChrist</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Judaism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jewish</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MessianicJudaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MessianicJudaism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBTQIA2S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA2S</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nonbinary</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Agender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agender</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/CreativeCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeCommons</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/CCBY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CCBY</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Translation</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Literature</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>English</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Hebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hebrew</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Aramaic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aramaic</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Greek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greek</span></a></p>

Ned Hairston :hehim: :theythem:<p>After three years, the Church of Christ in Tarpey Village is closing. It had a good run. In that time, we had convinced the church leadership of two conservative churches to become more inclusive, had ministered to dozens of LGBT+ people who had been hurt by toxic religion, and had comforted many more dealing with grief, loss, and uncertainty.</p><p>I don't know what God has in mind for me from here. For now, I'm a preacher without a congregation. I'll be going to different congregations looking for a new church home, whether that means preaching or not.</p><p>I still plan to continue my translation work (see bio). It is so essential that we have a good translation of the Bible that isn't hindered by dogmatic editors. If you can help support that effort, I'd appreciate it as I am otherwise unemployed.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Church" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Church</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ChurchOfChrist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChurchOfChrist</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Bible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bible</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBTQIA2S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA2S</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a></p>
