“Yep, she’ll say that Mamagod will just enfold us in her consoling breasts. Can’t call those behaviors sin, or require redemption, because making the child of Mamagod suffer would be “divine child abuse”.”

Now here’s a thought for you Lutheran theologians. Why does the concept of a God “enfold[ing] us in her consoling breasts.” necessarily mean that sin and repentance go out the window? I am not laying any importance on the “female” aspects of the comment.

How is deification possible without redemption? And redemption without acknowledgment of sin?
