Pope Leo Throws Down The Hammer!
EVERYONE who signs up to my giveaway wins a FREE spicy toy or gift card for toys! https://www.bboutique.co/vibe/leavingeden-pod#bbpartnerIn this episode, we discuss the ongoing schism in the Catholic Church, as Pope Leo excommunicates the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) following their decision to disobey him by consecrating new bishops. SSPX is a faction within Catholicism that considers the reforms of the 1960s (Vatican II) to be wrong and heretical. They seek to reverse the Catholic Church's more progressive recent direction.Subscribe to Leaving Eden Podcast on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our Patreon for extended, uncensored, and ad-free versions of most of our episodes, as well as other patron perks and bonus content!https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastJoin our Facebook group to join in the discussion with other fans!https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!

Un-Clobbering the clobber verses
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 ethicsSubscribe to Leaving Eden Podcast on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our Patreon for extended, uncensored, and ad-free versions of most of our episodes, as well as other patron perks and bonus content!https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastJoin our Facebook group to join in the discussion with other fans!https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!
