b'This week we received more of a comment from a Tumblr follower who wanted to say thanks for our article about LGBTQ kids with unaffirming parents. While there was no question asked, we wanted to share more information about the topic and the article. \\u201c…Thank you for all your resources because I\\u2019m struggling a lot with what being genderfluid means for my relationship with God and the church and my mum keeps outing me and your resources are a reminder it\\u2019s ok to be me and still be Christian.\\u201d\\xa0\\nWe also queered the text from Mark that talks about eternal life.

No one is good except the one God. You know the commandments: Don\\u2019t commit murder. Don\\u2019t commit adultery. Don\\u2019t steal. Don\\u2019t give false testimony. Don\\u2019t cheat. Honor your father and mother.\\u201d\\n\\u201cTeacher,\\u201d he responded, \\u201cI\\u2019ve kept all of these things since I was a boy.\\u201d\\nJesus looked at him carefully and loved him. He said, \\u201cYou are lacking one thing. Go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.\\u201d But the man was dismayed at this statement and went away saddened, because he had many possessions.\\nLooking around, Jesus said to his disciples, \\u201cIt will be very hard for the wealthy to enter God\\u2019s kingdom!\\u201d His words startled the disciples, so Jesus told them again, \\u201cChildren, it\\u2019s difficult to enter God\\u2019s kingdom! It\\u2019s easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God\\u2019s kingdom.\\u201d\\nThey were shocked even more and said to each other, \\u201cThen who can be saved?\\u201d\\nJesus looked at them carefully and said, \\u201cIt\\u2019s impossible with human beings, but not with God. All things are possible for God.\\u201d\\nPeter said to him, \\u201cLook, we\\u2019ve left everything and followed you.\\u201d\\nJesus said, \\u201cI assure you that anyone who has left house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or farms because of me and because of the good news will receive one hundred times as much now in this life\\u2014houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and farms (with harassment)\\u2014and in the coming age, eternal life. But many who are first will be last. And many who are last will be first.\\u201d\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Jeremy Perkins\\nThe post Get A Little Taste of Eternal Life – Mark 10:17-31 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
