How to escape angry judgement – Luke 3:7-14

What this episode covers

Taking care of one another and acting kindly isn’t secondary to the gospel — it’s a central part of what it means to be baptized and “escape angry judgement.” We explore what that means for us as Christians and as LGBTQ people.  If you want some support in your faith journey, you are invited to join Sanctuary Collective, our online community of LGBTQ+ Christians and straight, cisgender supporters from around the world. You also get access to a library of resources including Spit & Spirit, our digital magazine, Reading Queerly, a course on how to read the Bible with a queer lens; An LGBTQ Christian Guide to Self Care, and more. If you just want to support the podcast and the work of Queer Theology, we would be so thankful. You can do that here or on Patreon. Transcript coming soon Luke 3:7-14 Then John said to the crowds who came to be baptized by him, “You children of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the angry judgment that is coming soon? Produce fruit that shows you have changed your hearts and lives. And don’t even think about saying to yourselves, Abraham is our father. I tell you that God is able to raise up Abraham’s children from these stones. The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be chopped down and tossed into the fire.” The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?” He answered, “Whoever has two shirts must share with the one who has none, and whoever has food must do the same.” Even tax collectors came to be baptized. They said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” He replied, “Collect no more than you are authorized to collect.” Soldiers asked, “What about us? What should we do?” He answered, “Don’t cheat or harass anyone, and be satisfied with your pay.” Photo by Tim Marshall  The post How to escape angry judgement – Luke 3:7-14 appeared first on Queer Theology.
