Since gibberings isnt really the place for religious debates.. I'm happy to debate my faith or answer
any questions about it in here.

What is your justification for identifying the Christian God as male ?

And the souls of unborn children who have never had the chance to profess their faith in Christ and are henceforth cast into the abyss of fire and eternal damnation.

Good question.. It says in Genesis that God created 'man' in 'his' image and likeness which is both male and female.

http://bible.cc/genesis/1-27.htm

God here is 'elohim' which is a relationship.. I see that relationship as Father Son and Holy Spirit..
Spirit to me is the part of GOd that is both male and female.. much like we can identify male and female or anima and animus in our psyches..
I dont see God as some kind of hermaphrodite.. More a complete 'being'.. 'He' has both male and female qualities..God and Goddess..

Calling God an 'it ' just doesnt seem right. The Father is male.. The Son is male.

Thats my thinking on the topic.. its not an academic answer.. just musings. What do you think?
 
Thankyou for that Marmz my child..

Lamb?? Pete? Whats yours?

Actually I feel strongly moved to give up meat.. Ive gone a couple of days.

Before the fall everyone was veggie.

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food Gen 1-29

Does god have a cock? & if so, how big is it? That's all I really want to know.


Edit - Also, which nut hangs lower? They leave all this important shit out the bible.



YPDH - On a serious note, do you think we could agree (regardless of beliefs) that the King James bible is a book of lies?

I like the fact that christians (or whatever you want to call them, cants that read the bible) choose to believe some bits of it unquestioningly, as though they are absolute FACT, yet decide to ignore the other bits that don't fit in with what they believe.

Dont know

For your benefit will only quote NIV :)

Chaplaincy closed for a few hours.. please sit, meditate, pray if you want. My doors are
always open.
 
Great thread YellowPolkaDotHalo (did you notice I used your Sunday name ;))

I'm an agnostic, heavy on the Buddhist leanings. What I <3 about Buddha's teachings is the real world practicality of them.
 
Thankyou Kate :)

I love buddhism too.. and ive studied quite a bit.. The Dalai Lama is one of my heros .. but have found completion in christ :)

( not meant to be smug face there.. Ive suffered a lot and am actually so happy to have found what I was looking for.. isnt that most peoples goal?)

Isn't that most people's reasons for becoming a "believer"? (if they weren't indoctrinated into it at a young, impressionable age). It is a crutch, a belief that some higher being is watching over you, that there is some light at the end of the tunnel etc. Might as well be a ten bag of gear.
 
Love is like a drug isnt it?

Actually, I was desperate when I became a Christian.. Id been travelling in India and came back pregnant..8o

I had no idea what to do but time was ticking and I had to make a choice. So I started searching the psalms.. calling out to GOd to show me what to do. And crackhead out of nowhere at all a bible tract from some leaflet emerged on my floor.. ( it may have fallen out of some book or may have just manifested wooosh)

it was simply this:

..He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. Isaiah 40.11

It gave me such a sense of peace and reassurance that I wasnt going to be on my own with a baby.. and that things would be alright.. He has always provided for me and protected me and hasnt let me down.. and ive felt 'gently led' :)

Before that ( even though Ihad been studying theology) the bible didnt really speak to my heart.. It was just a load of vicious strict looking rantings and thees and thous..

Now I see the word as my anchor.

(Timothy 2:12) said:
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.”

Gotta be a bloke
 
@SHM

behave big baws and be kind...kindness is your new badge doncha know ;) *pricks*

Here is the space...
 
cant stand the sight of hen pecked man watson.. its like seeing a toothless lion.

One of pauls famous apparently misogynistic teachings.. In all honesty watson Id need
to chew that one over.. I dont know how to respond to it. I could google a theodicy of some sort but id rather pray and get some kind of personal understanding of the verse.

Is that ok?

I know I love to submit to Christ.. Im the bride, as is all of the church.. and I like to
bow to him..and give him the reigns of me...

Sweetness is when you humble yourself he raises you right up :)

( this isnt a sex thing )
