b'In the coming year, we\\u2019re going to be hosting an interactive course on how to read the Bible through a queer lens to understand it more deeply (and faithfully, even!). This passage is one that we\\u2019ll look at more closely \\u2014 and then give you the tools so that you can find your own queer connections throughout Scripture. If you\\u2019re interested in that, let us know.\\nIn this episode we discuss\\u2026\\n\\nparallels between the transfiguration and coming out\\nwhat to do when you\\u2019re afraid\\nwhat the transfiguration might have meant for Jesus\\nwhat that might mean for LGBTQ people\\nhow to create a sexual ethic for yourself (register for the webinar at queertheology.com/sex)\\n\\nMatthew 17:1-9\\nAfter six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.\\nPeter said to Jesus, \\u201cLord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters\\u2014one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.\\u201d\\nWhile he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, \\u201cThis is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!\\u201d\\nWhen the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7\\xa0But Jesus came and touched them. \\u201cGet up,\\u201d he said. \\u201cDon\\u2019t be afraid.\\u201d\\xa0When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.\\nAs they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, \\u201cDon\\u2019t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.\\u201d\\nPhoto by MTSOfan\\nThe post Transfiguration: Jesus Comes Out \\u2013 Matthew 17:1-9 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
