Church Of Sweden Will No Longer Refer To God As "He" Or "Lord"..

in #christianity7 years ago (edited)

True God has no gender however Jesus was a male and retained that form after the Resurrection and the Godhead is always referred to in the masculine in the Bible so pretty sure They don't object to this usage.. wonder how many of the 6 million members will leave this foolishness.

"The Church of Sweden is urging its clergy to use gender-neutral language when referring to the supreme deity, refraining from using terms such as “Lord” and “he” in favour of the less specific “God.”

"The move is one of several taken by the national Evangelical Lutheran church in updating a 31-year-old handbook.."

"...the church has 6.1 million baptised members in a country of 10 million."

Shame on them they should not concern themselves with what can invite the wrath of God

So they want to rewrite the Bible to make it political correct. Shame on them!

God is God and what does the gender matter as he, is almighty

God is God and what does the gender matter as he, is almighty

You mean to say

"God is God and what does the gender matter as (insert gender-neutral singular pronoun here), is almighty"

Why not tell the whole truth ? God is a woman and all believers know that.

This doesn't seemed biblical. They do not understand the meaning why "he" was used. That is a really sad realisation

He is our Father in Heaven. God is not gender neutral. @ironshield
