Rev. Thomas Brown, who is married to a fellow priest, was ordained as a bishop of the diocese of Maine in the Episcopal Church June 22. Immediately following his ordination, Brown referred to God as a "she" twice in the Nicene Creed.

"She is worshipped and glorified. She has spoken through the prophets," the just-ordained Bishop Brown said, referring to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ (John 4:24): God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

Jesus, the SON of God said HIM.

Jesus Christ IS the Son of God. "Son!" (Matt. 8:29; Mark 1:1; 1 John 5:20; Philippians 2:7).

God chose to move upon those that wrote the scriptures (2 Peter 1:21) to have them use masculine pronouns.

And...

Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16).

But liberals/gays aren't happy with this; they have to go all the way over and declare God to be a woman.

That is so sweet! He and the Catholic bishop of Lexington should get together and start their very own religion:

If you believe Jesus is the Son of God and believe also according to the scriptures where He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me,” then you will believe what Jesus has to say.

Jesus affirmed Genesis 3 when He said God made male and female.

Thus, transgenderism is a lie from the pit of hell, the same pit that the Serpent of old tries to draw men and women to.

Secondly, Jesus said a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. Not cleave to a another man or a woman to a woman.

Thus, Jesus never sanctioned gay marriage.

I have yet to see any gay person provide a scripture that is FOR homosexuality or is FOR gay marriage.

Ex Pepsicola priest here.

The phrase that comes to my mind is “makeup on a whore.”

Ol’ Henry knew how to cut that stuff off right at the bud.

If God is a woman, females would never get fat, get visits from “Aunt Flo”, get pregnant, etc. The newly consecrated gay bishop is mistaken!

The catholic church isn't too far behind when it comes to this nonsense.

Goddess worship is nothing new. But the Episcopal church preaching it is a recent phenom. This guy is awful but not quite as bad as Bishop Spong, who denies the virgin birth and has written that Mary, the. mother of God, must have been a prostitute.

[ “She is worshipped and glorified. She has spoken through the prophets,” the just-ordained Bishop Brown said, referring to the Holy Spirit. ]

As I understand it, some references to the Holy Spirit are gender-neutral in the Greek. I will double-check on that.

Regardless, there is no logical reason to feminize the Holy Spirit - one of you with Greek background check me - in John 14, Jesus said:

John 14:26 King James Version

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, ===he=== shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13 King James Version

13 Howbeit when ===he===, the Spirit of truth, is come, ===he=== will guide you into all truth: for ===he=== shall not speak of ===himself===; but whatsoever ===he=== shall hear, that shall ===he=== speak: and ===he=== will shew you things to come.


Thanks for posting. Another Sign of the Times. Wouldn’t surprise me to find out this preacher has other liberal viewpoints.

Yep, Goddess worship.

In regards to that...

God has no sex. God is neither male nor female, but the Hebrew, Greek and Latin use the male pronoun for God. Unless you want to refer to God as “IT,” then you will use “HE,” as has been done since anyone talked about God.

The “reverend bitchop” has created a god in his own image.
