“You Can’t Rewrite the Bible to Remove Gendered Language for God”

I believe a version doing exactly that came out a couple decades ago, IIRC.

RE: I believe a version doing exactly that came out a couple decades ago, IIRC.

Here’s a gender neutral version of the Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father and Mother who dwells in Heaven and Earth, hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our treaspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Help us to avoid temptation and deliver us from evil, for Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
