Hence, masculine pronouns will be removed.
As an example, the word 'mankind' has been taken out and replaced with 'world'.
Will God be pleased to see itself referred to this way?
That pretty well does that eh!
The trivializing headline, “God no longer a man,” is deliberately confusing the issue. I expected more from the Daily Mail.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Frivolous people striving for irrelevancy.
God is not inclusive. Perhaps they should just remove Him.
Only the Mormons believe God is man,...an exalted man who scored enough points to become a god.
What the unredeemed and confused Eepies are saying is that they will no longer refer to God as a male entity. Which doesn’t change the facts, btw.
God is not threatened by their announcement. He can handle it.
I was singing a line from “Be Thou My Vision,” that ancient Irish hymn yesterday. I had no trouble singing “Thou my true father, I thy true son” even though I am a woman. I love thinking of God in masculine terms. It’s powerful and strong and noble. I’m his daughter, but I see myself as being cared for tenderly.
C.S. Lewis said that “God is so masculine, that He makes all of creation seem feminine in comparison.”
If Christ is the Bridegroom and the church is the Bride, it gets a little confusing to not call God “He.”
Christ called God Father.
This is what is known as missing the point.
We see this political correctness in lots of ways.
For example, have you noticed that you rarely hear politicians or “talking heads” mention the “Founding Fathers” anymore? They instead label them as the “Founders” or the “Framers” of the constitution. They do this because of women’s lib. Even though every single Founding Father was a man, it is considered offensive to women to refer to them by a title which designated them as men. Hence, we now are told about the “Founders” and “Framers” of the constitution.
It’s the same darn thing with this church. It’s offensive somehow to talk about God the Father, so we will bend over backwards not to offend women.
What if I am offended by this change? Does your opinion count if you are offended by the political correctness? Or does the right to be offended and force these changes only go in one direction???????
Obviously God is “beyond human gender”, but He has revealed Himself as a Father, and in His incarnation Jeseus regerred to “His Father”. So get over it.
“Jeseus” = Jesus. Sorry, fat finger again.
Ah yes The New First Edition Bible from the The Scottish Episcopal Church-— Newspeak International version! Now in hardback plus edited for PC and Hate Speech content.
All the Cool Scots live over here anyways...the ones in Scotland are a bunch of faggots...
Whooooa. if God made man in his image, and the first man was Adam, he must have been a man. Man was lonely, so God then created a woman from Adams rib. OK, maybe from his DNA, but they may have called it a rib back then? Maybe God was lonely too and made a Momma God and they are sharing the responsibility for mankind, world kind or human kind what ever. Every one loves God, even those nice people who want to stone a woman to death while she is bound and buried 2/3rds of her body length in a hole. All the while shouting how Great God is. Yeah yeah, a different God, but the Pope doesn’t thinks so. The more I read this stuff, the more the question arises; “Are we here, because we are here?”
