b'Read the transcript (PDF)\\nMark 9:38-50\\nJohn said to Jesus, \\u201cTeacher, we saw someone throwing demons out in your name, and we tried to stop him because he wasn\\u2019t following us.\\u201d\\nJesus replied, \\u201cDon\\u2019t stop him. No one who does powerful acts in my name can quickly turn around and curse me. Whoever isn\\u2019t against us is for us. I assure you that whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will certainly be rewarded.\\n\\u201cAs for whoever causes these little ones who believe in me to trip and fall into sin, it would be better for them to have a huge stone hung around their necks and to be thrown into the lake. If your hand causes you to fall into sin, chop it off. It\\u2019s better for you to enter into life crippled than to go away with two hands into the fire of hell, which can\\u2019t be put out. If your foot causes you to fall into sin, chop it off. It\\u2019s better for you to enter life lame than to be thrown into hell with two feet. If your eye causes you to fall into sin, tear it out. It\\u2019s better for you to enter God\\u2019s kingdom with one eye than to be thrown into hell with two. That\\u2019s a place where worms don\\u2019t die and the fire never goes out. Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good; but if salt loses its saltiness, how will it become salty again? Maintain salt among yourselves and keep peace with each other.\\u201d\\nPhoto by\\xa0Cecilie Johnsen\\xa0\\nThe post Biblical Allyship \\u2013 Mark 9:38-50 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
