After doing intensive research and finding evidence that that infamous “clobber passages” in the Bible are mistranslations, this post was an effective way for me to air out my mixed emotions.
Eli Fritchley was an innocent 12-year-old kid who was bullied to death by his peers for being openly gay. When “Christianity” is used as the excuse for malice, “Christians” fail Jesus’ loving message.
For turbulent times, Psalm 107:29 has a soothing message about God calming the storms in our lives.
Despite a rough week of dealing with depression, God found small ways to uplift me, especially with dogs!
Those of us who struggle with depression often wish we could “fly away” from our struggles. Psalm 55 happens to be a somber analogy for this feeling.
We know that God is our Father, and Psalm 27:10 is a beautiful reminder of His paternal love for us.
After a particularly rough day of dealing with depression and grief, God gently reminded me of a tender dream He’d given me years prior that lifted my spirits.
This is a list I made of soothing Bible verses that have helped me get through rough times.
This was a rapid-fire time of learning more about the truth behind the “clobber passages”, and understanding that we’ve really been made to be a scapegoat by the Religious Right.
Christian partiality against the LGBTQ+ crowd is quite toxic, and there’s a Biblical warning against partiality that we should all pay heed to.
Even with all of the scorn against LGBTQ+ Christians, I never thought that I’d see somebody refer to an “ex-ex-gay” person’s heartbreaking testimony as a so-called “lopsided tale of woe”.
“Pray Away” is a brutally well-done Netflix documentary that exposes the suffering caused by “ex-gay therapy”.
After reading the 2nd Book of Enoch, I found a series of shocking revelations about the truth of the infamously named “clobber passages” in the Bible.
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is one of the most worthless phrases ever spoken. It carries no real value when it’s only ever spoken against LGBTQ+ people living their lives in peace, and against nobody else.
I am blessed and grateful to have a spiritual relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary, even though I’m just a Methodist.
Elijah the prophet of God was a brave man who also, at one point, asked God to take his life out of despair.
We know that God is merciful, and for this reason, it’s important for us all to understand that nothing can limit His mercy in the end of our lives.
Isaiah 59:14-19 is a powerful passage for us all to read, especially as America faces the truth that racial injustice has been happening all around us, no matter what anybody tries to say otherwise.
While I don’t enjoy constantly remembering the ugly times I had at college, remembering the good that came out of those rough patches always lifts my spirits.
