Since Jesus (masculine) calls Him His Father, I’ll continue using masculine pronouns when speaking about our Lord and God.

Some in that church have been trying to pull that off for at least thirty years. The goal is to declare that God is female.

What’s this G-d fad that’s breaking out? Are you under the impression there’s something wrong with referring to the Lord as God? There is no Catholic prohibition against this. If Jews have a religious reason not to use the word, that’s their business.

I wonder how they will describe Muhommed, Alah? Would they even dare to refer to him as she? I seriously doubt it.

The other strategy is to declare a female as God.........

“The images of God we have carved out to worship vary all over the place, but one thing is certain, most don’t resemble the God of the Bible. It shows how crazy we have become to argue over what “sex” God is.”

Agreed.

What have Jews got to do with it? What I write is what I write, and if you don’t like it, or Jews then that’s a real shame.
