‘STOP REFERRING TO GOD AS ‘HE’!’ INSISTS FIRST FEMALE BISHOP IN LORDS
Breitbart ^ | October 26, 2015 | Donna Rachel Edmunds

Posted on 10/26/2015 9:31:48 AM PDT by C19fan

The first woman to take a Bishop’s seat in the House of Lords has said that God should not be referred to as either ‘He’ or ‘She’, insisting that God is gender-neutral. The Bishop of Gloucester, who today took her place in the upper chamber for the first time, said that she always referred to God as simply “God”.

I guess Jesus did not get Her Graces message about how to refer to God.

Yeah, the Bible is wrong and woman hating because God calls himself He and His Son does the same...

Sounds like the DOJ needs to get involved... /S

The bible always uses the masculine tense and gerund when referring to God.

All the denominations that have allowed women clergy have rejected Scripture.

Those denominations will soon disappear and be replaced by Bible-believing churches.

Yeah. What she said! I mean...I call God 'He' because Jesus called Him Father. What does Jesus know after all? /heavy duty sarc

It just really annoys the feminist pseudo-religious types that the Almighty is referred to as our Father and that Adam was created first.

Deuteronomy 32:17-19 applies here:
17 They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God—
gods they had not known,
gods that recently appeared,
gods your ancestors did not fear.

18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgot the God who gave you birth.

19 The Lord saw this and rejected them
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.

"He" is tradition and "It" would be inappropriate
There is nothing wrong with the male pronoun.

Oh, look. A man-hating feminist gets her hands on the levers of power of a Christian church, and the first thing she does is spew venom and hatred about the masculine nature of God.

Someone needs to remove that loser from power before she hurts someone.

An Old Testament curse:

As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.” Is 3:12

“It just really annoys the feminist pseudo-religious types that the Almighty is referred to as our Father and that Adam was created first.”

It also annoys them that The Almighty created man in His image. Furthermore, it annoys a lot of females in general that The Almighty created Eve for Adam as a helpmate. A lot of the present woes stem from woman’s desire to transcend what her Creator equipped her to do.

"Our Father which art in heaven,,,,,,"

I guess Jesus was mistaken and wanted to call on His mother in heaven?

This woman is in dire need of a Savior!

This could be why the Catholic Church will never agree to have women priests.
