[betterchedder]

Hi! my name is Cheddar, I'm 23, I use she/him pronouns! This blog is where I tried to read the entire bible (nrsvue my beloved) in 2024.... uh I didn't (because I got very depressed) anyways, now its a place for my thoughts, beliefs, theology, and just general faith stuff. (I follow from @/thisone.... I bring my faith to the rest of my life, bit I don't want to bring the rest of my life to my faith, if that makes any sense)

im a semi-lapsed protestant (United Church of Canada)

I am queer, my queerness like my Christianity is apart of what makes me me, the church I grew up in was very accepting and afirming, I knew Christian love long before I knew Christian hate. If you dislike queer people, leave. If you think God hates queer people leave, if you think Jesus hates queer people LEAVE, if you think God "loves the sinner but not the sin" in reference to queer love, joy and sex L E A V E. God loves everyone, Jesus loves everyone, and Jesus surrounded himself with societal outcasts and marginalized peoples, to say that Jesus would hate gay people is not only a lie, it is directly against scripture.

My church was/is also very much a "our beliefs are right for us, it not might be right for you, but we're cool with you, if you're cool with me" so I am amiable to pretty much every christian denomination (and the one's that I think twist the bible, or stray from the meaning to the point of not being [for the lack of a better term] 'real christian' I try to just ignore when they speak about their own theology and politely correct them when they speak for christianity as a whole... because don't pull me into this!) and I give a nice thumbs up emoji and polite nod to people with other faiths and atheists.

I have absolutely no interest in converting you to my flavour of Christianity. None... ZERO. If you try and convert me... I'm gonna give you some side eye, and if you think I'm trying to convert you, tell me! my tone doesn't always come across online, and I don't want people to think i'm proselytizing!! because i'm NOTTTT!!!!

here are the rest of my rent lowering gunshots to get the american fundamentalists away.

Jesus loves trans people Jesus loves sex workers Jesus loves queer people Jesus loves people of all religions Jesus loves children Jesus thinks women are equal to men Jesus was a refugee Jesus loves everyone, and yes that includes EVERYONE.

my tagging system: is now abandoned, ye who enters here must accept the chaos.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

hey if ur a queer christian blog or a christian witch blog or a progressive christian blog can u rb this

[our-queer-experience]

i’m sure you guys have heard about kansas invalidating trans ids- just so you know it’s not all hopeless

[our-queer-experience]

hi did you know that trans christians spend their entire lives in faiths that try and convince them that on a cosmical level they should hate themselves and for them this would be emotionally fufilling? hi did you know that kansas is over 70% christian? hi did you know that just because you think atheism is the correct and the only thing that deserves respect that doesn’t mean that this isn’t incredibly impactful and meaningful for many people?

reblogging this again to bring up that when my grandma said she didn’t understand trans people, and why would they betray the body God gave them, it would have been 0 help to explain to her all the biological and cultural and societal components to the existence of the concept of gender and trans people. You know what did make her pause and reconsider her stance? “Did you ever think that maybe God made trans people on purpose?” And we got to have a conversation about all the interesting things God has made so why wouldn’t God make trans people? And she came out of the conversation with more grace and understanding.

i'm newly christian and just got done reading the gospel of john and the fact that he explicitly says that he ran faster than peter to go see jesus's tomb is so funny. you can really tell that he was the youngest

john's gospel's written some 60 years after jesus returns. the fact that whoever wrote it kept in this detail tells us john never shut up about it

You can love your neighbor and not love God, secular people do it all the time, with great success. The reverse however, is not true. If you do not love your neighbor, than you can not love God. Any Christian that would send away the immigrant, the queer, the poor, or the marginalized - would nail Christ to the cross. The Holy spirit dwells in the detention center and prisons, the bath houses and whore houses, the section-8 housing and the homeless shelter, for we are all made in the image of God.
