“For the first time I agree with Putin”: British readers about the requirement of the Anglican Church to “gender-neutrally” address God
Military Review ^ | 2/21/23 | military review

Posted on 02/21/2023 7:33:12 AM PST by JonPreston

This month, the Anglican Church announced that it was considering alternative ways to refer to God in the masculine form, “He.” This happened after the priests asked to be allowed to use "gender-neutral" terminology in relation to him. In Britain, they have not yet decided what they will replace the words "Our Father" in the main Christian prayer.

This fact was mentioned in his address to the Federal Assembly today, Russian President Vladimir Putin. In his opinion, such a decision indicates that the West does not know what it is doing and is moving towards a spiritual catastrophe.

British readers of the Mail Online on the issue of the requirement of the Anglican Church to "gender-neutrally" address God unexpectedly found themselves in solidarity with the Russian leader, as can be seen from their comments.

Putin is a KGB thug. That’s bad. He hasn’t reformed. He re-instituted tyranny in Russia and rehabilitated Stalin and the Soviet Union. He is trying to recreate it. That is why he ordered Russia to invade Ukraine.

That’s pretty bad.

It’s also what Russia should be doing, as we should be promoting an American world order... where those ambitions intersect is where the diplomats earn their salaries.

This morning, I saw on a tweet that a leftist said that if they read the text of what Putin said this morning, you’d think he was reading off of a Fox News talking brief.

I hate to say it, but unfortunately Vladimir is right. I am definitely not one of those Putin ass suckers like you see sometimes on FR, But he’s not wrong.

You don’t have to be a genocidal kleptocrat to recognize that God is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

There is also the teaching given in Matthew 22:30, but that is about us, not God.

Over the last 40 years Putin had been much less militaristic than the US has.

agree. Since 1988, and the election of Bush #41, America took a turn for the worse.

Jesus clearly says-” the way to the “Father-.” Father is not anyone except a male.

Yeah, those Russians need “breathing room.”

Half truths are the tried and true propaganda method of evil, ever since the Serpent and the fruit.

Note, this doesn’t mean Ukraine was a great place or the Democrats aren’t a bunch of war profiteers. Of course it was corrupt, and Democrats always use tragedy to enrich themselves. They always do.

Doesn’t mean the invasion of Ukraine is justified.

This is classic KGB style — point out a legitimate failing of the West — and then harp on it to hide bad acts.

Dude, WE are the (neo) Marxists now.

Someone needs to practice containment on the neo-Marxist Comintern centered in London and Washington DC

Accept it.

“It’s also what Russia should be doing, as we should be promoting an American world order... “

No, neither one of us should be doing either thing. But as long as one country is, the other must oppose it.

I've never heard Russia use a lebensraum argument... probably because given their geography the argument would be ridiculous.

The Church of England (CofE) does not speak for the entire Anglican community, the majority of whom are conservative and based in Africa. In fact, the CofE has been threatened by the Anglican communion to behave itself or face expulsion.

Not only are the African Anglicans conservative, but they are experiencing explosive growth, many of their new congregants being former Muslims.

American Episcopalian Anglicans are in the same boat as the CofE, in that they have become so liberal that conservative churches are abandoning them, and becoming “African Anglican Missionary Churches”. That is, they are ditching their leftist American dioceses, and coming under the sway of conservative African bishops.

The timing was very appropriate, because the American Anglican Missionary churches are flush with cash that is now flowing to the African dioceses, instead of leftist causes, right when they are building churches like crazy to support the great increase in the number of congregants.

Saudi Arabia, which tracks Muslims around the world, is shocked by the number of Muslims in Africa who are becoming Christians, mostly Anglican and Evangelical.
