But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou Son of man with a kiss?

closeup and rambling under the cut :)

slowly healing from religious trauma by viewing the Bible as a work of literature (rather than The Old Book That Runs My Life) and its interesting as fuck tbh,,, also I recently watched Jesus Christ Superstar for the first time and I am absolutely obsessed. Gethsemane and Heaven On Their Minds go so damn hard. Anyway I felt like doing an actual rendered piece and was having thoughts about Judas Iscariot and this was the result!!

Got my first hate mail as a pastor today. I must be doing something right. Apparently offering support and prayers for trans rights was too political for them.

Just so it is perfectly, abundantly clear: queer and trans folks are blessed and beautiful, made in God’s image, and beloved exactly how they are. I will preach love and acceptance for LGBTQ+ folks—both in the church and beyond it—as long as I live, because the God I know, the God I am called to serve, does not deal in hatred and exclusion.

Happy Jesus Birthday for those who celebrate! ✨

one time in the christian discord server i’m in i mentioned something about “jesus” and “joshua” technically being the same name, because language is weird, and that sparked a discussion about whether or not jesus was at the josh fight and in the end the consensus was “he was definitely there in spirit but probably didn’t actually participate, but it would be extremely funny if he did because imagine going to battle for the memes and getting whapped with a pool noodle and you look and it’s god. also letting a little kid win is definitely something he would do”

Last Wednesday, my pastor made us do some discussion during service (evil of her) (it was good for me, actually) and my friend Scott (middle aged, balding, white man) and I talked about how the familiarity of liturgy holds us. We also talked about protests; Scott talked about laying down on the hot Phoenix asphalt in the summer for the amount of time George Floyd was strangled and I talked about how many young people I see at vigils for Nex Benedict and trans remembrance.

Remember that God is just as much, and sometimes more, present out there is the world beyond the church door. On Good Friday, the curtain was torn, abolishing the separation of the Holy from everything else. God is out there, He just wears a mask sometimes. He'll catch your eye and wink flirtatiously before weaving between members of the crowd. Catch a glimpse of a grin here and the hem of a robe there. Follow him!

Jesus in a Book of Revelation

[whereserpentswalk]

When the human known to us as Christ arrived in the underworld, gods and shades alike were horrified. It was always a big deal when demigods arrived in the underworld, but this one had died so brutally, a young man, not even old enough to grow a beard, tourtued to death at the will of his own divine parentage, the blood dripping from his shade's hands.

The high gods of the underworld brought him up to their tower to figure out what happened. Christ had recoiled from them at first, thinking they were Devils, but had to take Anubis's hand to ascend the tower's steps, as his legs were badly wounded. The gods of the dead looked at him with both sympathy and horror, it was the first time a he had seen a god look at him with either of those emotions.

Hades swore that this was his brother's doing, but even then it crossed a new line. The description of a god impregnating a young girl in Bethlehem fit what Hades knew of Zeus, but to harm his own son in such a way, as part of a ploy to try to gain all of Rome for him alone, had proven his brother's reign growing darker. Still, he took mercy on the young man, promising him at least three days safety in the underworld without his father trying to claim him again. Hades wondered if the poor girl knew when she held her child that he was born to suffer and die, just as the mothers of great heros knew their destiny. Hades hoped Chrsit would have a chance to stay longer, his wife would return in the fall, and he had the same kind eyes as her, she would probably like to know him.

Hel came to comfort Christ once he had a chance to rest. She helped tend his wounds, and pet his head, and for the first time christ was held by a divinity that didn't expect anything from him. And she told him stories of her father to cheer him up after meeting with such a horrible fate. And she told him that no father should ever do such a thing as what his father had done to his child, that if she had known in time she would have saved him. And she let him be comforted as a human, instead of being a lord of all humanity. And for a momment he didn't have to be the son of god who felt alone while bleeding and dying, but the son of the carpenter Joseph who had been reminded of home when he felt the wood of the cross.

He wasn't allowed to stay, his father wanted him back, back to be the bleeding prince of a new and lonely kingdom. And the underworld wept for him, not because the underworld was deprived of Christ, but because Christ was deprived of the underworld.

For every Christian having a hard time with religion today

God made you gay, bi, trans, lesbian, ace, aro, etc.

God made you uniquely autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc.

No matter what the church as an institution might try to bully you about, remember that God loves you. He made you that way because it was beautiful. He made it, and it was good.

Anyone who tells you otherwise clearly doesn't understand the limitless nature of God's love.
