b'In today\\u2019s episode, we answer a listener question wondering about the concepts of sin and Hell, and how Christianity teaches about them. Does not checking a certain set of boxes make you less of a Christian and does that mean you\\u2019ll go to Hell?\\xa0\\nWe then queered the text from 1 Corinthians, one of the texts that is often used against us. It talks about sexual immorality and how our bodies are a\\xa0 temple and should be treated as such. But it\\u2019s helpful to understand the history behind this text and how its writer, presumably Paul, might have some personal issues with his own body and with sex. More on that in today\\u2019s episode, so stay tuned.\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nNew member area for Sanctuary collective [1:00]\\nThe foundation of this work: it never ends [4:00]\\nThere is always new insights and revelations in the Bible [5:50]\\nListener question from Tumblr about the concepts of sin and hell [8:33]\\nThe concepts are all interconnected AKA all jumbled up [9:47]\\nThe real point as a follower of Jesus [11:08]\\xa0\\nThe bottom line: there are more ways to understand Christianity [14:22]\\nQueering the text: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 [19:04]\\nPaul might have some issues with sex and this might be a specific response to specific answers [21:06]\\xa0\\nFinding beauty in this passage [24:23]\\xa0\\nReading the Bible with rose-colored glasses [25:36]\\n\\nMentioned in the episode:\\n\\nTricky Question About Sex Workshop – free workshop on January 17, 2021, 4:00 – 5:00 pm EST (9-10 pm GMT).

I have the freedom to do anything, but I won\\u2019t be controlled by anything.\\xa0 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.\\xa0 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.\\xa0 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. Or 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.\\nPhoto by Simon Rae\\n\\n \\nThe post My Temple My Rules – 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
