Anyone and Everyone

You are a beloved child of the most high God of love, who is Love and who lovingly made you from love, for the purposes of Love: to love, and to be loved, and to be Love in the world. Love is the law of God, and love our means of understanding ourselves, our world, and our faith. You are welcome in the church of Christ, and are a witness to God's transcendent love, breaking barriers and shining forth the beauty of God's created diversity. The Holy Spirit dwells within you, as in all believers, and is drawing further in and further up; a still, small voice speaking peace and wisdom and strength, humility, patience, and grace. Never doubt it again. Here are some of the resources that helped me shed the lies of homophobia and other bigotries, and find a deeper connection to the Infinite Unknowable Divine Unity that is God.

You are a beloved child of the most high God of love, who is Love, and who lovingly made you for the purposes of Love: to love, and to be loved, and to be Love in the world. Diversity is the color pallette God uses to paint the masterpiece of Creation. We exist on purpose, and our infinite diversity exists on purpose to be in infinite combination. The act of building bridges across difference is the central and most holy act of Christian faith and practice. It is at the heart of every ritual and sacrament we have. And every time we grow in understanding someone different from ourselves, we grow in understanding the God who made that difference as well. Can you imagine trying to understand a great artist like Davinci or Rembrandt, but never studying their artwork? Can you imagine that audacity of someone proclaiming their expertise on the life and meaning of Vincent van Gogh, but without ever studying his use of color, line and shape? They'd be laughed out of every art school and gallery in the world, and forgotten except as a joke. The same is true for God and the study of God's creation. Anyone who claims to understand God in any way, but fails to study the beauty of God's creativity across all the different ways of being human, or who denies the revelations of science about the world around and within us - they should be mocked and thrown out of every church until they come back humbled and educated. Never forget that you are loved, and intended, and are a witness and prophet of God's wondrous creativity. And let the hate, and the haters who carry it, die in the darkness. __________________________________________________________________________ Here's a list of resources that have served me well in breaking free of the lies and bullshit, the cancer of homophobia in the church.

Internalized homophobia is one of the most horrible things that anti-queer prejudice does to us - because it makes us into our own bullies. And the other most horrible thing is that being trapped by fear and hate robs us of our childhoods, steals our chance at normal healthy development around sex, gender, and romance that our cis-het peers don't have to deal with. I'm glad you're starting to heal. You ARE loved, and always have been. You are a beloved child of the most high God of love, who is Love and who lovingly made you from love, for the purposes of Love: to love, and to be loved, and to be Love in the world. Love is the law of God, and love our means of understanding ourselves, our world, and our faith.

You are a beloved child of the most high God of love, who is Love, and who lovingly made you for the purposes of Love: to love, and to be loved, and to be Love in the world. Diversity is the color pallette God uses to paint the masterpiece of Creation. We exist on purpose, and our infinite diversity exists on purpose to be in infinite combination. The act of building bridges across difference is the central and most holy act of Christian faith and practice. It is at the heart of every ritual and sacrament we have. And every time we grow in understanding someone different from ourselves, we grow in understanding the God who made that difference as well. Can you imagine trying to understand a great artist like Davinci or Rembrandt, but never studying their artwork? Can you imagine that audacity of someone proclaiming their expertise on the life and meaning of Vincent van Gogh, but without ever studying his use of color, line and shape? They'd be laughed out of every art school and gallery in the world, and forgotten except as a joke. The same is true for God and the study of God's creation. Anyone who claims to understand God in any way, but fails to study the beauty of God's creativity across all the different ways of being human, or who denies the revelations of science about the world around and within us - they should be mocked and thrown out of every church until they come back humbled and educated. Never forget that you are loved, and intended, and are a witness and prophet of God's wondrous creativity. And let the hate, and the haters who carry it, die in the darkness. __________________________________________________________________________ Here's a list of resources that have served me well in breaking free of the lies and bullshit, the cancer of homophobia in the church. Nothing will ever convince the people who have replaced the loving God with fear and hate in their hearts. BUT, knowing the true history and theology of queer people in God's plans and church is powerful spiritual self-defense, and defense of others.

Here's a list of resources that have served me well in breaking free of the lies and bullshit, the cancer of homophobia in the church. Nothing will ever convince the people who have replaced the loving God with fear and hate in their hearts. BUT, knowing the true history and theology of queer people in God's plans and church is powerful spiritual self-defense, and defense of others. So I ALWAYS argue with the bastards in public, just so the hurting people know they're not alone, and that there's a better way to follow God.

You are a beloved child of the most high God of love, who is Love and who lovingly made you from love, for the purposes of Love: to love, and to be loved, and to be Love in the world. Love is the law of God, and love our means of understanding ourselves, our world, and our faith. You are welcome in the church of Christ, and are a witness to God's transcendent love, breaking barriers and shining forth the beauty of God's created diversity. The Holy Spirit dwells within you, as in all believers, and is drawing further in and further up; a still, small voice speaking peace and wisdom and strength, humility, patience, and grace. Never doubt it again. Here are some of the resources that helped me shed the lies of homophobia and other bigotries, and find a deeper connection to the Infinite Unknowable Divine Unity that is God.
