b'We answer another question from Tumblr about hell, what happens after we die, and the fear and anxiety that surrounds this concept. \\u201cIt\\u2019s not fair that no one knows what happens when we die until we get there and I don\\u2019t wanna suffer eternally and I want to let go of it but what if it\\u2019s real???\\u201d Tune in to know why this question hits us right in the heart and why we think most questions we receive have this underlying fear as the reason for asking.\\nThe text we queer this week is from 1 Corinthians which, by the way, is not part of the lectionary readings, but we decided to queer one that is a favorite of Brian\\u2019s. We think this passage is a great example of how scriptures are really complex and why it\\u2019s important to do the work to reinterpret, figure out what it means to us, and more.\\nKey Takeaways:\\n\\nLife updates from Fr.

I have the freedom to do anything, but I won\\u2019t be controlled by anything. Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, and yet God will do away with both. The body isn\\u2019t for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. God has raised the Lord and will raise us through his power. Don\\u2019t you know that your bodies are parts of Christ? So then, should I take parts of Christ and make them a part of someone who is sleeping around? No way!\\xa0 Don\\u2019t you know that anyone who is joined to someone who is sleeping around is one body with that person? The scripture says, The two will become one flesh. The one who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. Avoid sexual immorality! Every sin that a person can do is committed outside the body, except those who engage in sexual immorality commit sin against their own bodies.\\xa0\\nOr don\\u2019t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you? Don\\u2019t you know that you have the Holy Spirit from God, and you don\\u2019t belong to yourselves? You have been bought and paid for, so honor God with your body.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Shane Rounce\\nThe post Don\\u2019t You Know That You Don\\u2019t Belong To Yourself? – 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
