FULL TITLE: Catholic schoolgirls are being taught that God is GENDER-NEUTRAL and are banned from using the words 'Lord', 'Father' and 'Son' in prayers

Catholic schoolgirls are being taught that God is gender-neutral and banned from using the words 'Lord', 'Father' and 'Son' in prayers.

A number of elite Catholic schools in Brisbane are making moves to teach their students to use inclusive language when referring to God.

Top schools including All Hallows, Stuartholme, Loreto College and Stuartholme School are leading a push towards a feminist interpretation of the Christian Bible.

Students at Stuartholme School in Brisbane's inner-city, which charges upwards of $40,000 a year, are taught to use the word 'Godself' instead of 'himself'.

The Brisbane schools - such as Stuartholme, Loreto College at Coorparoo, All Hallow's and St Rita's College Clayfield - are all making moves to teach their students inclusive language when referring to God (stock image)

'As we believe God is neither male or female, Stuartholme tries to use gender-neutral terms in prayers … so that our community deepens their understanding of who God is for them, how God reveals Godself through creation, our relationships with others and the person of Jesus,' a spokeswoman told The Sunday Mail.

That’s called rewriting the Bible. If you think you have the authority to rewrite the Bible it means you don’t believe in the Bible.

Making God in our own image. That’s one way false gods are created.

The Father and Son warned us to be wary of those teaching false gospels. They will be many.

They will have a serious problem trying to re-write what is written as “Father”. Here’s just a sampling....

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.”
John 17:24

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! Psalm 103:13

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:6

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:26

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
1 John 2:15

Those teaching these falsehoods are wicked. God is not gender neutral. Gender transition is not Godly. Homosexualism is not a gift from God. Abortion is not a right granted to women nor is it a constitutionally guaranteed right. A godless liberal (evil) court made it up as did any court upholding same-sex marriage or gender transitioning.

maybe jesus was a girl?

Q?

If a woman decides that she identifies as a man, changes her titles, clothes, etc to male roles then accidentally gets pregnant at a party, then delivers the baby, is his Doctor allowed to refer to him as the “mother” or will the child tragically never have one. And what do we expect of the other male in paternity or child support. remember one can get fined or fired if you get any of this wrong in many modern places in the world. wheee.

I believe that G-d is above gender and sex - translations can cause all sorts of problems (rib vs. side - look at the problems this caused). That is a separate issue from gender-fluidity etc.

The Bible God is male because fallen males identify with that, and this minimizes violent society since fallen men do the violence.

A female God does not cut the mustard. That is like identifying with an airhead, violent, irrational Pelosi.

They take the King James Bible and claim that they “prefer it,” but they say that some other version is more accurate. The reason they do that is so they can create two conflicting Bibles, and whenever they do not agree — the Bible teacher, professor, etc., can present himself as the final authority of what to believe.

The inspired, preserved Word of God as given to us in the King James Bible is our Final Authority.

Of course, they claim they believe in “inspiration,” but only for the “original” which no one on this world has ever seen for thousands of years.

Bottom line, they don’t have a Bible at all.

God has no sex. God is not male, and is not female.

The Hebrew Old Testament used the masculine pronoun for God, and the Greek New Testament used the masculine as well. Latin translations, and those of other languages used the masculine.

It would be wasteful for a language to have one set of pronouns exclusively for God, and so human languages use the pronouns that are already in use, and they are male and female.

I will continue using “He” for God.

But this is really not about that. What it is about is destroying our concept of God and reducing Him to a mere human and finally eliminating Him. By including God in the controversy over pronouns, they show they don’t consider Him to be a God.
