Great post!

"Abba, Father" puts the lie to Bishop Libby. She should try to read the Bible sometime.

Sproul: If we can take the true and living God and we can reshape Him, remold Him, and in fact rename him, or put Him through the liturgical equivalent of the surgery of Bruce Jenner, we can turn Him into a Her, our God into a goddess. I wish Miss Lane would heed the wisdom of my favorite Anglican, C.S. Lewis. It was Lewis who told us that–recognizing that God in one sense transcends gender, God is not a man–God is so utterly masculine that all of us are feminine in comparison. Masculinity is essential to what God is. That is the reason that God is described to us as our Father, that is the reason His son is called the Son. There is a reality about who He is and we have to hold onto it and not accommodate or mold and shape God into our own image. We have to, being feminine, respond to His leadership. And when God says He is our Father, our calling is to say “Yes, Father” in return.

So women are Baal?

Hate to break it to ya, but fathers and sons imply mothers and daughters.

Even worse, half of creation is female, including human beings.

God is beyond sex. God is not male, and he’s not a father - God is God. As limited beings, we have limited language used in various ways for various reasons. But when addressing the infinite, we need to recognize we’ve reached the limits of our language and show a little humility.

And yeah, half the human race does, in fact, matter.

Sheesh.

It seems odd to ascribe any generative gender to an Entity credited with creation ex nihilo, but that’s just reason talking.

But gender is “fluid.” Male today could be female tomorrow, and who-knows-what the next day. No more gender references on birth certificates, soon to be followed by no more designation as father or mother. We’ll devolve into being just vague anthropological units.

So wouldn’t it be more accurate for this goober to reference “God the…whatever”?

Christ said that only those who do the will of the FATHER in heaven will enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 7:21). Committing the crime of false prophesy, calling Him a liar, saying He didn’t say something He said or that He said something He didn’t say, is the definition of being a false prophet. And false prophets don’t come to a good end according to Christ (Matt. 7:23).

Whenever ANY denomination has become so apostate and falsely prophetic that it begins ordaining women, that denomination is in a race to see how quickly it can become completely depraved. Just follow those apostate denominations, and inevitably they’ll begin embracing baby murder, homosexuality and every other abomination under the sun soon thereafter.

A once fine faithful faith has devolved into the worship of the unknown /non existent god....

A gal shouldn’t have a bishopric, period:

“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;”- 1st Timothy 3:2
