marshes and transgender folx

 

Image of a bar on a cloud in the sky. There is a bar stool with a red smoke above it, signifying the Holy Spirit. On the right side of the bar, is a brown-skinned, bearded man wearing a purple robe and holding a beer glass. At the main part of the bar, facing away from us, is a white-robed figure with a crown, holding a wine glass, who says, " if I'd known that people would take everything so literally and unkindly, I would have made sure to have 'Moses' mention marshes and transgender folx right there in Genesis 1..."

This cartoon will make more sense to you if you read my other post.

I want to focus on one key part of what God says above: "... that people would take everything so literally and unkindly..." 


Why do we take things so literally and unkindly? Why do we default to suspicion over grace, to being right over relationship, to not giving the benefit of the doubt?

Isn't this the opposite of grace, the opposite of Jesus?
