Nothing wrong with it as long as it’s in conversation and doesn’t involve the speaker editing the liturgy of the Church to square with his personal preferences.
Malleus: Well said and I totally agree.
Malleus : I approached it from the standpoint that some were objecting to the use of the Masculine in relation to GOD. But I could be wrong. Perhaps their motive is benign.What is the issue here? Is it the sex of God or is it the use of pronouns to refer to God?
Our Supreme Deity GOD, as the First Godhead is the Father of All Creation…however this was after the Split of the Androgenous, he and she being…thereby, creating the second Godhead…known as the Holy Spirit/Ghost or Mother GOD…then together they feduncated and together…in their LOVE for one another…created the third Godhead, the Son, as the Word of GOD.Jesus called God the Father. He did not call Him Mother, Sister or Mother/Father or Brother/Sister. He called Him Father.
I think that probably means something and that something is very important in the scheme of things.
And just how do you know that God is not male? Jesus, who is a part of the Blessed Trinity along with the Father, whoops there is that word again, and the Holy Spirit, which comprise the Godhead, was certainly male or do you argue that He was some sexless creature brought forth to unite both sexes into a common non sexual scheme of things?
I digress. A member of our parish in Oregon commented that when he and a few others attended Mass in the Seattle area, they were the only ones present–certainly not emblematic of the entire Seattle area Catholic community, but not a good sign of orthodox vitality. Thus, what I have learned about the events of your parish, perhaps the Seattle area Catholic community is being inundated by liberalism.
Sorry but you’re gravely mistaken and should read some entry level catechism - as it is right now your viewpoints are not Christian and in no way Catholic.
Um, no, that is heresy. And most definitely not Catholic dogma of the Trinity.
Great Advise!
Amen! Me thinks someone needs to lean the truth and/or see a shrink.
I knew CA was in bad shape, but just…wow
! I could have imagined this before the fall of the pagan empires but recently?Yes, in the diocese where I live, I encounter this very often.
So, you believe there was a single being, both male and female, who split to become two beings: these two beings had sex to produce a third, and each of the three is a separate God?
First, you have the order wrong - Father begets Son, Father and Son beget Holy Spirit. Second, God is not created - this implies he isn’t God. The Son and the HS weren’t created by the Father, they were ‘begotten, not made, one in being with the Father’
I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but I don’t think gender is the issue. My impression was the use of a pronoun. Instead of “HE did not call HIM Mother, Sister or Mother/Father or Brother/Sister,” the sentence would read, “Jesus did not call God Mother, Sister…”Jesus called God the Father. He did not call Him Mother, Sister or Mother/Father or Brother/Sister. He called Him Father.
I think that probably means something and that something is very important in the scheme of things.
And just how do you know that God is not male? Jesus, who is a part of the Blessed Trinity along with the Father
did you ask the pastor why?
then did not attend an Catholic school that handed on Catholic teaching as NOTHING about this description is theologically sound. please take steps immediately beginning on the CA homepage to remediate the false education you received (through no fault of your own).
Maybe but the pronoun referring to God is capitalized in English.
