We\\u2019ll see you with new episodes in September!\\nJesus gets a little snarky in this week\\u2019s Gospel reading and Brian and Fr. Shay respond. What happens when Jesus makes demands of the people following him? What does that have to do with us today? In this podcast we talk about solidarity, living on the margins, and more.\\nRead the transcript (PDF)\\nJohn 6:60-69\\nMany of his disciples who heard this said, \\u201cThis message is harsh. Who can hear it?\\u201d\\nJesus knew that the disciples were grumbling about this and he said to them, \\u201cDoes this offend you? What if you were to see the Human One going up where he was before? The Spirit is the one who gives life and the flesh doesn\\u2019t help at all. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Yet some of you don\\u2019t believe.\\u201d Jesus knew from the beginning who wouldn\\u2019t believe and the one who would betray him. He said, \\u201cFor this reason I said to you that none can come to me unless the Father enables them to do so.\\u201d At this, many of his disciples turned away and no longer accompanied him.\\nJesus asked the Twelve, \\u201cDo you also want to leave?\\u201d\\nSimon Peter answered, \\u201cLord, where would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are God\\u2019s holy one.\\u201d\\nThe post Does this offend you? John 6:60-69 #throwback appeared first on Queer Theology.'
