Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

quote:
"By expanding our language for God, we will expand our image of God and the nature of God," they stated. But Clergy delegate The Rev. Linda R. Calkins from St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Laytonsville, Maryland, challenged the delegates to go further. Calkins read from Genesis Chapter 17, in which God tells Abraham “I am El Shaddai.” She said that if Episcopalians "are going to be true to what El Shaddai means, it means God with breasts.”

I should have highlighted this passage in my original post bc it is part and parcel of how liberals skew shite to fit their narrative.
I looked up meaning and definitions of El Shaddai to try and understand what she s referring to with the breasts comment. In ancient Jewish culture it referred to the God of the Wildnerness and Mountains. Hopefully that's not what she means (who knows). The origins and different incarnations of the term El Shaddai are so vague and can be open to a myriad of interpretations. Nowhere does it refer absolutely to a woman or breasts.

These people are fricking nuts.

Darth, I think that the Episcopalian church leaders are trying to tell us that, since God the Father is Gender-Fluid, then so is Jesus. So, stop calling God "the Father" and stop calling Jesus, "the Son." The "Holy Spirit" is already Gender-Fluid, so no problems there.

I think that's what the Episcopalians are trying to teach us. I'm sure that the Muslims will be announcing very soon to the world that Allah is a Gender-Fluid Entity.
