I wonder how Jesus is described by gender benders and feminists...
The “daughter” of God?
Instead of the Son of Man, what will he be called — The daughter of woman?
Is God called “he”, “she” or something else.
Is God our father or mother?
How did Jesus teach us how to pray? “Our mother who art in heaven”?
The whole thing is getting weird...
What about Leviticus 20:13? Pretty clear there. Is it because they don’t use the term ‘homosexual’ that they think it’s OK.
Reading Lev 20:13, it is pretty clear about what is going on and the penalty for it.
I expect the ELCA to adopt this version in 3,2,1
How will the ELCA refer to God from then on?
Lord God? Or Lady God?
Work of Satan
They've done it to the Constitution. Why would we expect anything else?
And Satan is the author of confusion.
“God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33)

TAKING SIN LIGHTLY
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]
The prophet Ezekiel gives us a vivid illustration of what happens to a people who take their sin lightly. In this account, the seventy elders of Judah came to Ezekiel to receive a word from the Lord. These men were all in the service of the temple, and as they gathered with the prophet to worship, Ezekiel was given an amazing vision:
“As I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me . . . the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire . . .
as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem” (Ezekiel 8:1-3).
The Holy Spirit fell on this gathering, and God’s holy fire filled the place with light: “And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there” (verse 4).
Whenever God’s fiery presence appears in a meeting, sin is always exposed.
Suddenly, the prophet saw that these men’s minds were filled with “. . . every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts” (verse 10). He is describing demonic strongholds, evil beings. And they had infiltrated God’s house through the ministry!
There sat the seventy elders, calm and placid, appearing as worshipers seeking guidance from the Lord. In truth, however, they were covering hidden sin. They had been going through the outward worship procedures of the temple ministry, when in reality they all belonged to a secret society of sun worshipers. They employed prostitutes in the temple and as part of the worship ritual, these supposedly godly elders took part in fornication.
Worst of all, these men were not convicted of their horrible idolatry. They had convinced themselves that God winked at their idolatry. David was heavily burdened by his sin but these seventy elders felt no arrows of conviction, no loss of physical strength, no emotional pain. Instead, they were deceived by what Moses called a “false peace.”
“And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst” (Deuteronomy 29:19).
In other words: “A deceived person is like a drunkard; he has lost all ability to discern. He can’t even distinguish between thirst and drunkenness.”

I read several versions but in the past mostly the NIV 1984 edition. I was shocked when my iPad Olive Tree account was “updated” without my approval to the TNIV 2010 version. It was gender neutralized to the extent I didn’t recognize verses I had memorized over the last 20 years. Although not as blatant as the Queen James it does represent how much the world desperately wants to pervert the Holy Scripture. Obviously my relationship with Olive Tree is not too good at this point.
RE: It was gender neutralized to the extent I didnt recognize verses I had memorized over the last 20 years.
Just curious.
1) How did they translate the first two words of the Lord’s Prayer?
2) Is Jesus Christ still the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man”?
3) How is God the Father referred to?
Just 3 questions for now...
