Many of the High Churches have split over the ordination of homosexual clergy. Well now the Anglican (Episcopal) Church is planning on changing their language to make God gender neutral, “The Church of England is considering the idea of using alternative language instead of referring to God in the masculine gender. he Rev. Joanna Stobart, of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, asked the church's liturgical commission chair whether that body would "develop more inclusive language in our authorized liturgy and to provide more options for those who wish to use authorized liturgy and speak of God in a non-gendered way," according to the outlet. Any changes to the words used in prayers or other liturgies using "God the Father" and Jesus Christ "God the Son" would have to be approved by the General Synod, the church's governing body. Such a move would mark a departure from traditional Jewish and Christian teachings dating back millennia, The Independent noted. ” (CBN, https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/cwn/2023/february/church-of-england-ponders-gender-neutral-language-for-god-and-jesus)
This is insane! The Lord God is The Father, and is The Son. Jesus Christ was born a man (male! God is not a female and He is not gender neutral! Julian of Norwich wrote heretical prose about God being female, and it seems the Anglican Church is now considering heading down a similar heterodox path!
The Lord God is Male, females come from male, Eve was taken out of Adam who was a man, “But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:20-23). Thus Male has always been first, because God The Trinity is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Let’s look at plethora of Scriptures that declare God is a Man:
“Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward there was the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal.” (Ezekiel 8:2)
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)
“But emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:7)
“But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.” (Hebrews 1:8)
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,” (Galatians 4:4)
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
“Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.” (Revelation 1:12-15)
“As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.” (Daniel 7:9)
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17)
This “god is female” is an attack on Jesus Christ The Son of God!, “which He promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 1:2-4). This god is female is a Satanic attempt to distort the truth! God is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. There is no feminine names there, Father and Son are masculine. While yes God sometimes is describe with in a motherly characteristics in Deuteronomy 32:18, Isaiah 66:13, Isaiah 49:15, Isaiah 42:14, Psalm 131:2, Matthew 23:37 and Luke 13:34, these are only analogies and symbolism to describe God as caring for us like a mother, not that He is a mother, for He is The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit, not The Mother, and Daughter!
Most cults, heresies, and false religions have a goddess or mother god. There is Tammuz, the mother goddess, Ashteroth who is Baal’s wife, the Mother god in Mormonism, Vishnu in Hinduism, the Demon Mara in Buddhism, and so forth. In our faith there is no goddess or female god, There is the masculine, God The Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Women were created out of man, Eve from Adam’s Rib who was a Man. Women arn’t unimportant, God used Mary to be the Virgin Christ our Lord came in the flesh through. But God is not a female goddess nor gender neutral, He is Father, Son, and Spirit. Anyone who teaches like Julian of Norwhich and the gender neutrality The Anglican Church is considering doing is not true Christianity! God is Male! His names are clearly masculine, as the song goes, “your a good good Father, its who you are! Its who you are.” (Chris Tomerlin and Pat Barrett). Amen.
