I loved the bible study at me and my husband's love everyone lgtbq+ church today. Queen Vashti, I went to churches my whole life that painted queen vashti in a negative light. But today she was seen as a sorta hero, the sorta hero SHE REALLY IS. Cause she was like "naw I don't want to be a sex object paraded in front of men!!!!!!!!" - AMEN QUEEN VASHTI!!!!!!!!! And no hate though to marilyn monroe and other ladies like her even current day - she opted to "go with" the whole "sexualizing objectifying women as sexual objects" thing that exists in not only the patriarchy THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER (but I do feel and believe god is painting queen vashti AS A HERO OF SORTS and most the body of christ is missing that fact) --------- to be able to eat, to be able to stay alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................

I am growing bell peppers, planted seeds from 1 bell pepper that I did eat (just found out that bell peppers can't be eaten as micro greens - that's fine I was plotting to literally grow these ---- keep em warm next 2 months or whatever, by the time they are big it should be past "frost")............

and people in my bible study made mention of in their versions of their bible the same heading was over the 1st chapter of the book of Esther THAT'S IN MY BIBLE "Queen Vashti Deposed"

DEPOSED FOR NOT WANTING TO BE A SEXUAL OBJECT PARADED IN FRONT OF MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

it don't say "Queen Vashti deposed THE HERO" - like it should!!!!!!!!!!

Esther 1:11-12 "To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on. But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him."

I'm more looking at the king as the "bad guy" in this story - sure am

if your a guy

and your married

or even dating

YOU SHOULD VALUE WOMEN

how you valueing them if you want to prance them around in front of other men to show them off like this king did??????????

And that he is so angry with her the "anger burned in him" to me that shows such a lack of love for Queen Vashti

thank god

she decided against being parade around in front of this kings friends

cause I think in that act the truth came out that she wasn't really loved!!!!!!

this king had made her into a object to parade around and show off

by comparison...................

the david and bathsheeba story

that chick don't appear to of been "paraded" like vashti was

also pretty bathsheeba was

but she was treated as a "wife proper"

vashti wasn't in my estimation treated as a "wife proper"

and she is a hero in the book of esther whether people want to acknowledge that in the over sexualizing still STILL OF WOMEN 

still of women in the year 2023!

Ephesians 5:28-29 "So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:" 

 men would you want your womens to parade your bodies everywhere for ladies to look at "sexually"????????

no you wouldn't

and nobody in the body of christ should want to view porn either

cause that is some showing of support of the "over sexualizing" of women that keeps women DOWN

But I understand the ladies in porn, they need money, they gots bills to pay so I do understand

but know

know ok

Queen Vashti is such a hero

and so is Esther in the book of Esther

THEY BOTH ARE

the book of Esther in a patriachal male supremacy bible

depicts 2 mega 

MEGA GIRL POWER HERO WOMEN

AND I'M 1 BILLION %%%% HERE FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

also this verse was brought up and highlighted at bible study today.......that women and men were BOTH created in God's image, and good (not one sex being "less then garbage" as is taught in many churches)..................

Genesis 1:25-27 "And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
  I think most ladies don't want to be oversexualized. Maybe deemed pretty??????? But they want to matter. 

  and all to often it's hard for us ladies to matter

or matter like we want to matter

if everyone's viewing us as just a "sex symbol"

men have more power then us ladies in my estimation because they aren't over sexualized like we are

they are seen for what they really bring to the table

meanwhile many of us ladies

are still just deemed "sex objects" with no value past that

and you might want to tell me "that's not so sheri" 

well then should us ladies be paid equal ===== ?????????

if we are indeed deemed equal and not just as sex objects

I like what is going on at the methodist pro lgbtq church

cause a divided church isn't a strong church

and most churches are divided

if they ain't loving and equally valueing their LGBTQ to the rest of the like straight church members that's a divide

if they are deeming women as less then that's a divide

Matthew 16:18 "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Matthew 12:25 "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:"
Mark 3:25 "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

the lgbtq need to have equal value in my mind, and me in their minds

and the womens need to have equal value in their minds and the mens equal valueing them in their minds (in a actually valuable way and not this oversexualized buisiness)

Galatians 3:28

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor

 free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in

 Christ Jesus."

one in christ jesus!

yep
