OK, how did they change "With God as our father"?

They failed to do that; wary of lightning strikes, I guess. But I was fully expecting the new Lord's Prayer to be Our Parent which art in Heaven...

The LEFT hates the part in the Bible where it says....”male and female he created them.” ........fools. Trying to change what God created and ordained. Genesis 1:27

Yes, there are a few negligible scribal errors (repeating words, letters, etc.) but no theological contradictions. The scribes were extremely meticulous in making a copy

Well, my response was regarding a secular view point of the Bible. You are looking at it through a religious lens and assuming (if I understand correctly) that at one point in time there was a perfect divine canonical autograph from which later copies, in a variety of languages, were made.

If you see the Bible from a religious view point, then changing it makes no sense.

Secularists view it as a human construction that developed organically over time and that underwent many changes, edits and redactions.

I think the issue of the feminists is that our language is too Patriarchal.

They claim that words like “Mankind” ONLY includes men and not women, etc. Which of course is BS.

Agree, but the agenda is still to obliterate all gender differences. That’s the underlying agenda.....my opinion.

People who think that God has a gender don’t know how stupid they sound. And don’t know much about God, either. Imo.

It is humanities job to change to accommodate God.

It is NOT God’s job to change to accommodate us.
