Queer Sacred Stories

[@MagnetoWasRight1000]

So I was raised in the Catholic tradition and although their current position on lgbtq is something that I’m personally against. Mostly due to my own queer experience as well as the experience and testimonies of queer Christians. I still find myself moved towards many of the prayer and traditions I was taught in my childhood and I’m not exactly keen on changing my denomination. However I do attend an ELCA Lutheran church regularly(liturgy is important to me). I don’t feel like I “belong” in any particular denomination and sometimes it can feel quite odd and even “othering” at times. Since I don’t fit into any particular denominational box which sometimes makes it hard to relate to others especially here in America where evangelicalism is king and that’s just not my experience. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming however I’m grateful for little circles like this. I found something directly relatable to my life and experience in every portion of this video. It gives me joy to see others similar to me who can’t deny their Christian faith even though they have been wronged and even lied too by many Christians. Ever since I let my faith back into my life my whole life changed radically. In a way that I couldn’t expect. Its difficult being an lgbtq+ affirming Christian but I can’t deny Christ and I can’t deny the suffering of all the queer people the world over. To me they are connected. Innocent people punished and abused unjustly because their community sees them as a threat. I lift myself and all queer+ people to the heart of Jesus the suffering servant. Not out of self righteousness or the desire to be academically theologically consistent with an intellectual tradition of western white mens exegesis but because I cannot ignore the cry of suffering lambs. Pray for me dear siblings.

Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused but it doesnt happen to everyone that was abused. Those that choose to live like Eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex but opposite in gender. Notice, God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships. Rapture is when God's true people shine like the sun right here on earth. It is not what most people think. Malachi 4:2-4. Read it. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. Anyone selling anything using the gospel or teaching the LIE of monetary tithing won't make it. Same sex marriage is not a sin. God prefers it. Male or female is determined by gender located in the brain. * Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. That means everyone has their own choice to make. *******..*

Nope, you've been handed over to a debased mind. Romans 1

@@djabroni_brochacho4644 there are many queer coded figures in the Bible, and I’ve never read a verse or passage that has lead me to believe queerness is a sin. Actually I’ve come to the opposite conclusion.

@@claytonspeed I say this in all love: no homosexual will enter the Kingdom. It's my desire that everyone comes to repentance, yes even straight folks. But there's no way you could come to that conclusion without practicing extreme denial. You've been deceived.

@@djabroni_brochacho4644 actually I just came to that conclusion from reading the Bible. I encourage you to pray for the compassion to understand where queerness fits into biblical scripture.
