I heard that it basically starts next year and it freaks me out a lot. What are your beliefs on the Rapture?\\u201d Tune in to listen to our answer. We think a lot of you will be able to relate.\\xa0\\nWe also queered a text from 1 Peter that tells us that God is NOT some bully in heaven who wanted Jesus to suffer and die.

He did this in order to bring you into the presence of God. Christ was put to death as a human, but made alive by the Spirit.\\xa0 And it was by the Spirit that he went to preach to the spirits in prison.\\xa0 In the past, these spirits were disobedient\\u2014when God patiently waited during the time of Noah. Noah built an ark in which a few (that is, eight) lives were rescued through water. Baptism is like that. It saves you now\\u2014not because it removes dirt from your body but because it is the mark of a good conscience toward God. Your salvation comes through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at God\\u2019s right side. Now that he has gone into heaven, he rules over all angels, authorities, and powers.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Mads Schmidt Rasmussen\\nThe post Jesus, Suffering & Salvation – 1 Peter 3:18-22 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
