b'Chapter 4 of Paul\\u2019s letter to the Galatians is full of dense passages and obscure references. It\\u2019s especially important in this chapter to pay attention to who his audience is- Non-Jewish, new Christians. We talk about how Paul makes the point that scripture is allegory (he literally says don\\u2019t take it literally!) and how Jesus is separate from God (the gospels and Paul\\u2019s letters were written before the Nicene Creed determined the Trinity!). So what does this mean for us today? We discuss how we can make sure our spiritual practices are not a distraction from moving us towards justice and also the importance of sacred storytelling in creating some productive discomfort.\\nResources:\\n\\nJoin the online community Sanctuary Collective.\\nRob Bell\\u2019s video Everything is Spiritual\\nRituals for Resistance & Resilience Workshop\\n\\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\\nEpisode Transcript\\n\\n \\nThe post Holy Discomfort and Scriptural Allegory: Galatians, Chapter 4 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
