Leaving Eden Podcast

EVERYONE who signs up to my giveaway with @bellesaco will receive a FREE Rose suction toy with their order! https://www.bboutique.co/vibe/leavingeden-podIn this episode, we go through seven major bible verses that are most often used to promote anti-LGBTQ hate within Christianity and alternate (and in some cases more accurate and reasonable) interpretations. Sadie's theory is that in these verses and that everywhere that "sexual immorality" is mentioned in the bible, there is an element of consent that is often ignored by evangelicals or Christians who would use the bible as justification to hate members of the LGBTQ community. Gavi's belief is that it doesn't matter whether or not these verses refer to homosexuality because discrimination and hatred are against the higher-priority biblical commandments to love thy neighbor.These passages include Genesis 9, Genesis 19, 1 Corinthians 6, 1 Timothy 1, Romans 1, and Leviticus 18.00:00 - Happy Pride!05:25 - What are "Clobber verses?"07:25 - Genesis 9, Noah's Ark and the Curse of Ham15:18 - Genesis 19, Sodom and Gomorrah27:02 - Romans 1, "A reprobate mind"33:38 - 1 Corinthians 6, 1 Timothy 140:04 - Leviticus 18, "It is abomination"42:40 - Kavod Habriyot, and human dignity46:50 - Romans 13, "Love Thy Neighbor," and financial ethics

Chad joins us once again to talk about OTHER bible stories about King David and his family, and what lessons fundamentalists take from them. We examine why King David is seen as such a great king despite the many failures of his rule and the mess that was his family.

In today's episode, Sadie discusses the recent article in Vanity Fair about Hyles-Anderson College, which she attended from the fall of 2011 until the spring of 2013. While this article did a good job of explaining what makes this college so controlling, we felt that this subject would have been better served with a longer-form piece that focused more on the deeper aspects of control rather than JUST the dress code. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/the-college-for-trad-wives?srsltid=AfmBOopagpD8okZIVAWJdyk7Svyax_rmS8qF4xH0n2dryDQj7eEVtsRL00:00 - Intro05:23 - Tradwives07:43 - Rules for men vs. women09:43 - MRS Degrees14:58 - The IFB20:23 - The Curriculum28:01 - Bus Routes33:12 - How Sadie Almost got expelled38:08 - What the Vanity Fair could have done better42:48 - Why some people don't make it44:46 - This is an insular culture
