So Jesus worshiped a he-she god?

Right...

Actually, one of the names in the OT for God, is El Shaddai, the translation of which can be God, the breasty One, who sustains us as surely and completely as a nursing mother sustains her baby’s life. Not that God is female, but that He has the attributes of One who not only gives us life, but that He also sustains us. I have no idea if this is what this particular couple means, but just giving my two cents worth.

Abba, Father, who art..

It is how He taught us to pray to, address, relate to God - as Father, as taught in the Apostle’s Creed: “I believe in God the Father, Almighty...” And “Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord… was conceived by the [God the ] Holy Spirit…”

For those who care, theologically God transcends gender; what is the gender of light, truth, beauty, spirit...

It becomes moot or specious and the article’s statement that “the God he worshipped was both male and female,” is, at best, an ignorant attempt at political correctness.
