First, I have never once referred to the Holy Spirit as feminine, as the ancient gnostics did. Indeed, I expressly deny the Holy Spirit is feminine in my book First Comes Love (both editions).
I do quote Cardinal Ratzinger, from his book, Daughter Zion (p. 27), where he states: “Because of the teaching about the Spirit, one can as it were practically have a presentiment of the primordial type of the feminine, in a mysterious, veiled manner, within God himself.” I subsequently go on to clarify Ratzinger’s point by stating: “Once again: God is not feminine by nature. Nor is the Holy Spirit feminine” (pp. 163, 166).
So, what is at issue? Hahn calls the Holy Spirit "mother," "motherly," "maternal," "feminine," "womanhood," and "bridal," in both the hardback and paperback versions.
Aside from your personal disapproval of Dr. Hahn, what do you disagree with in THIS article?
The Son of man had nowhere to lay his head.
Far cry from Rome, eh?
The Apostle Paul and King David are my two favorite Bible authors.
Both flawed superheros, like Moses and Peter.
Saturday, January 25
Liturgical Color: White
Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St.
Paul. He persecuted Christians until a vision
of Jesus caused him to convert. He went on
to be one of the greatest missionaries of the
Church. Many of his letters have become
books in the Bible.
We have a bigger God also.
Yet Paul is now a Saint in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Yep, it seems like there has been a lot of Catholic bashing today bigtime.
They bashed our precious Lord first and He provided for us the supreme example to which we all should aspire. It should be no surprise to us that as the world hated Him, his true followers would also be hated. The relentless bashing, as heartbreaking and difficult as it is to endure nevertheless provides us endless opportunities to show others how Christ would have loved His punishers.
We must pick up our cross kiss and embrace it, smile and joyfully march on together until we see him face to face. He will not abandon us, especially when we need him most.
Yup.
And someday so will I.
And yet, Paul is so often mocked, discounted or disparaged among people who "claim" to understand grace and this age we are living in. He never claimed to be one of the 12, he claimed to be apart from the 12. The ministry of the 12 came from the law, the prophets, Christ, and the kingdom gospel, of which they will rule on that day Christ returns as Messiah and sets up the kingdom that was promised them. Paul never promised Israel a kingdom. He promised that Jews and Gentiles are made one, in the body of Christ and our position is not earthly, like Israel, but heavenly. Paul could not have been lumped together with the 12 as his calling was different.
Yes...Like the pharisees, they want someone who dresses and looks like a king...
Well, that would disqualify Jesus, now wouldn’t it?
And the same here.
OOOooohh!
Good point for me to remember.
I thought LUTHER had all the bases covered already...
We ALL know that to see Christ; one must make an appointment with Mary!
He's dead. Not gonna be praying for ANYONE!
NOW I see where the term "Holy Rollers" came from!!!
