b'Today, we talk about a question from a listener who wished to remain anonymous. We answer the question about being a closeted person while being part of a conservative denomination, and wanting to speak the truth without endangering himself, and without accidentally outing himself.\\nWe also take a look at Matthew 17:1-9 which we\\u2019ve already covered some years ago. Our stand about this passage is still the same: we still believe that this was Jesus\\u2019 coming out. In this text, Jesus has shown us his human side which is very relatable especially for queer folks. So take a listen and see how we queered this text!\\nIn this episode, we talk about:\\n\\nFr.

He was transformed in front of them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.\\nMoses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, \\u201cLord, it\\u2019s good that we\\u2019re here. If you want, I\\u2019ll make three shrines: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.\\u201d\\nWhile he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, \\u201cThis is my Son whom I dearly love. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!\\u201d Hearing this, the disciples fell on their faces, filled with awe.\\nBut Jesus came and touched them. \\u201cGet up,\\u201d he said. \\u201cDon\\u2019t be afraid.\\u201d\\xa0 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.\\nAs they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, \\u201cDon\\u2019t tell anybody about the vision until the Human One is raised from the dead.\\u201d\\nPhoto by\\xa0Andres F.
