"Mother Jesus"? I don't think there's anything anywhere which suggests Jesus was a woman. And, let's face it, I'm not sure that a woman would have been considered a credible figure 2000 years ago. Too bad, so sad, but that's the way it was. And while I'm on this rant, what says God has to be either male or famale? It's only our narrow and limited mortal perspective that has to put a sex on everything; God is above all that. Okay; end of rant.
I'd say God is masculine, since Jesus was male, and since he called God "Father".
But I think Gaia and Aphrodite are female, though fictitious.
LAST TIME I CHECKED, FATHER DOES NOT MEAN A WOMAN NOR A NEUTRAL BEING.
Jesus taught us to pray "Our Father". God chose to reveal Himself in masculine terms. I believe there's something amazing about the differences between male and female and that God created them that way for a reason.
I like this quote by C.S. Lewis:
"With the Church [. . .] we are dealing with male and female not merely as facts of nature but as the live and awful shadows of realities utterly beyond our control and largely beyond our direct knowledge. Or rather, we are not dealing with them but (as we shall soon learn if we meddle) they are dealing with us."
"Mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation — and you and I are His children"
dude, I am sooo confused. Bet the rest of them are too....
