From a purely secular point of view, it's intellectually dishonest. Historical falsification.

They wouldn't try this trick with other ancient literature such as the Iliad or what have you.

Theology is the attempt to understand God as He revealed Himself to us. Not we mere mortals trying to define God in our image.

[Gay State Conservative]

If we are all made in God's image then that would mean,symbolically at least,the God is both male *and* female.So in the interest of simplicity we might refer to “him” as “He”...rather than “it”.

“What bathroom would Jesus use” is the only question on some people’s minds. They can all go to uniheaven.

You can rewrite the Bible to exclude language about homosexual lifestyle and include language about transgenders and “mother god” but that doesn’t make it the word of God.

“You Can’t Rewrite the Bible to Remove Gendered Language for God”

I believe a version doing exactly that came out a couple decades ago, IIRC.

So, “many, many women” stay out of church “because of the male image of God that is systemic and that is sustained throughout our liturgies.” Perhaps these women have some issues with their own fathers – or husbands (or, ex-husbands), or men in general? Perhaps there’s something deeper going on?

It is not difficult at all to see what is going on, daughter of Eve.

The Catholic hymnals for a number of years were rewording many old hymns to eliminate “he”, “him” and other male references. Then it appeared to change back.

In “Let There Be Peace On Earth” for example, “let me walk with my brother” was changed to “let us walk with each other”.

The pronouns used in Hebrew and Greek are masculine. If you translate them into English, you must use the corresponding masculine pronouns.

This is a simple concept, that even a liberal can understand.

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

[M Kehoe]

Alter one jot or tittle and see what happens.

Zot!

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.
