This is how the SJWs battle religion since they don't have the power to ban it. But just the Christian religion.
So what? There are thousands of religious denominations. Let them make up whatever shite they want to make up. If it makes their life better fine. What you will never see is muzzies doing this.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see this commie Pope follow suit.

Making Jesus 'gender-neutral' is.......
That would be right up their alley though. Rewriting history...so to speak. Would definitely be destroying the whole son of God thing. Come to think of it, making God gender neutral kind of messes up the who sitting at the right hand of the father thing.

The Christian faith is a a trinitarian faith. We worship God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father. The very nature of the God we worship is thus male, and triune. This nature of God is demonstrated throughout the Old and New Testament from God referring to himself in Genesis, to Jesus joining Daniel in the lions' den, to Jesus' baptism and ascension.
To deny God as father in the name of political correctness is no less severe a heresy than to deny monotheism or trinitarianism.

It was an attempt to purge the Church of the errors that crept in over the 1,500 years prior and to focus on the truth in the scriptures. There were many attempts over the years to do the same thing, including about 100 years prior with John Huss.
It didn't take God over 1,500 years to reveal his Ultimate Truth to humanity by revealing religions invented by Henry VIII, Martin Luther and that Pre-destination guy.

Isn't God gender neutral by definition?

The whole father thing is a reflection of the culture Christianity was born of. You were right originally, the idea of a gender for God is irrelevant.

Creator.
If we were made in his image, wouldn't his imagine be (at least) both male and female?

If God had a dick does that mean he pee’s and fornicates? Or is it just for decoration, like truck nuts on a car?
Why does he need arms and legs if he can fly? Does he eat food requiring teeth?
Just curious since there are so many here with an intimate understanding of the almighty.

Luther, Calvin, and the other Reformers would be calling for people to abandon the Episcopal Church just as they did the church in Rome.

Thanks, but I don't think God is sitting up in heaven or in the outer rims, thinking....."gosh, they are making me gender neutral, and not a male. I probably need to send down a few plagues to get them in line." And I doubt when you meet up with Peter at the the gates, he's going to have a company memo stating that certain people are going to stay in purgatory because they didn't properly acknowlege his boss as a male.

So.. lets play the game:
Me: "you believe that adam and eve actually blahblah? What about the tower of babel?"
Apologist: "they are obviously allegories and were never intended to be a historical account"
Me: "well have you considered that god as the father is also symbolic and was never intended to be a historical account?"

Pure ignorance
With so many different denominations and more popping up each day, each with their own interpretation of God and His message, Essentially creating God in THEIR own image, I’d say it was more observation, but certainly not ignorance.

Catholics were the first protestants
Baptists should spend more time developing a Liturgy and less time bashing other religions.
I guess you are a believer in this thoroughly false and debunked Baptist Pastor's theory that Southern Baptists are really the first Christians and trace themselves all the way back to John the Baptist. The problem is that this Protestant sect arose during the 17th century from the Church of England.
This book published in 1931 has been thoroughly de-bunked.

quote:No. The Episcopalians have shown regular disdain for the scriptures with their various decisions pertaining to social justice within the church to the exclusion of God's word. The Reformers' rallying cry was sola scriptura, or by scripture alone. The Episcopalians have abandoned the truth of the scriptures in an effort to tickle the ears of the masses and that is what the Reformers were fighting against.

Of course. You dont actually believe we evolved here on earth from the primordial ooze do you? Or have you moved on to intergalactic panspermia or alien genetic engineering?

Sola Scripture is a flawed doctrine. In fact no where in the Bible (if you truly follow the doctrine) does it talk about Sola Scriptura.

Bro, I don't know what lies your Pastor told you to prop up your faith, but, the historical record is completely clear about when The Reformation started and which men started the various iterations of the Reformation. Here's the list: Henry VIII, Martin Luther, John Calvin, some guy at Oxford named Wesley -- THESE GUYS are your "Apostles", so, own it.
Stop lying about other branches of Christianity -- FOCUS on getting some kind of Liturgy for YOUR Protestant sect instead.
