b'In today\\u2019s episode, we answered a question from one of our Sanctuary Collective members about the Bible and how some use the Old Testament to promote abusive behaviors. \\u201cHow do we call out Christians or Jews who use the OT to promote abusive behavior by individuals or nations without being anti Semitic?\\u201d Tune in to find out what we think about having to call out other groups.\\xa0\\nWe also queered the text from Exodus which most, if not all of our listeners are familiar with. It\\u2019s the text that talks about and enumerates the 10 commandments. It nicely ties up to the question we answered in today\\u2019s episode as well.\\xa0\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nFr.

Do not bow down to them or worship them, because I, the Lord your God, am a passionate God. I punish children for their parents\\u2019 sins even to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me. But I am loyal and gracious to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.\\n \\nDo not use the Lord your God\\u2019s name as if it were of no significance; the Lord won\\u2019t forgive anyone who uses his name that way.\\n \\nRemember the Sabbath day and treat it as holy. Six days you may work and do all your tasks, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. Do not do any work on it\\u2014not you, your sons or daughters, your male or female servants, your animals, or the immigrant who is living with you. Because the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them in six days, but rested on the seventh day. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.\\n \\nHonor your father and your mother so that your life will be long on the fertile land that the Lord your God is giving you.\\n \\nDo not kill.\\n \\nDo not commit adultery.\\n \\nDo not steal.\\n \\nDo not testify falsely against your neighbor.\\n \\nDo not desire and try to take your neighbor\\u2019s house. Do not desire and try to take your neighbor\\u2019s wife, male or female servant, ox, donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.\\n \\n\\n \\nPhoto by Levi Meir Clancy\\nThe post Queering the 10 Commandments – Exodus 20:1-17 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
