Church of England and Gender Neutral Terms for God.

[GeordieGirl]

I wonder when the heads of these churches last actually opened the bible to see how God refers to 'him'self.  Or even, just opened the bible ....... 

 

The Church of England is considering switching up its religious teachings by changing the pronouns used for God.

The change is part of a special project launched by the church in updating its future teachings.

 

The church, which is headed by King Charles III, is considering introducing gender-neutral pronouns such as “they/them” instead of “he/him” when referring to God.

 

.....  some Church of England priests already referring to God as “they and them” and rewriting the start of the Lord’s Prayer to “Our Father and Mother”.

Of course God does not have a real physical gender as people have, but don't they even understand the difference between grammatical and physical gender? These things are going absolutely too far and out of hand. I loved annual meeting talk from br. Cook that exposed all such gender related stuff as morally corrupt and Satan influenced to destroy Jehovah's work. He connected it with being a part of destroying the Earth. Jehovah will not allow it to happen. End will come soon! Christendom churches taking increasing role in letting all of that happen and doing it themselves even! They will meet Jehovah soon!

Thank you for posting this article sis, one more thing to add for my personal notes,  having a reply at the ready out in the ministry.

It figures. Rather than allowing God to teach them through the Bible, they insist on teaching God by changing the Bible. As if... God made a mistake. ???

 

Really...?

Yesterday I shut off one of the new night time lineup shows because its all about shoving transgender down our throats. The parents 'being so supportive of their adolescent "daughter"  who had his sex changed to a 'her'". It was 🤢 

Those that want this lifestyle are really ramping it up in the mainstream so that we all 'accept' this new way of viewing sexuality.

I can just see with the Catholic church now supporting the community of popular belief it's gonna get even crazier. More brazen.

A literal Sodom and Gomorrah combined with the last days of Noah and the destruction of Jerusalem combined! Yes, it's the worst time in human history.

This reminded me of this article:

But they are "going beyond what is written..."
