My understanding of the matter is that God the Father is male, Jesus is male, the Holy Spirit has no gender and the Trinity as a whole is gender neutral.

It depends on what you mean by God - whether you're speaking about one individual element of God or all the elements together.

I received one about panting deers, I thought it was some cool new slang. I was very disappointed when I found out it was a passage from the holy babble.

Jeremy, one day you will stand before God and you are going to be OH so surprised at how misinformed and deceived you've been.

??? God is never referred to as female at any point in the Bible... I'd love to see anyone point out the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek where God is feminine. There might be some wacky translations out there that decide to refer to God as a woman, but that's not what the original language actually says. The burden of proof is on those claiming that God is a woman. Furthermore, why on earth does this blog ostracize everyone but white Christians? Why not just "Stuff Christians Like"? I'm white myself, but see no logical reason to make a distinction between White Christians and Christians that aren't.

For the record God is referred to as both male and female throughout the Bible. I don't think it would be a stretch to say that God transcends gender, even if the human invention of language is unable to express this in a meaningful way.

DH, we're not mocking anyone. We are white, we are Christians. There are things in this little culture of ours that are worth poking fun of. Sorry you weren't amused, but I fail to see how this blog is bigoted in any way.

Oh, and to the reader who posted that God is male. Wake up, God is neither male, nor female. In my opinion, he is referred to so often as our heavenly "Father" is that he knew that Fathering would be overwhelmingly lacking in our world.

I think it's sad that you don't have anything better to do than knock a group of people based on their race, and their faith. Racism and spiritual bigotry are equally destructive. - Saved by grace, DH

Rev. Jeremy,

God is referenced as our Father in the Bible.

Fathers, as I have alway seen them, are usually male.

"his" seems right to me.

Perhaps "grip" is meaning that once we set our hearts to follow God, no one can snatch us out of his hand :)

2009-09-08T22:21:43.381-05:00

Uh, what?

It's not a theological error.

If you choose to have a theological DIFFERENCE, then that's you.

But being in the Bible, and being a mainstay of the theology in discussion, it is a fallacy to call that a theological error. It IS the theology. A part of it, anyhow. Therefore, it cannot be a theological error.

So that doesn't make a lot of sense, what you said.

You believing that God is a woman (or what have you), has no effect on whether the Bible is right, wrong, or anything; any more than my believing you are in fact a flamingo makes you any more or less NOT a flamingo.

If the Bible says God is male, then the God of the Bible is male.

PS- fwiw, I'm not trying for anyone to win or lose some internet game here. I'm just saying :)

That's pretty funny.

Rev. Smith:
Unfortunately, the Bible makes both of those theological errors numerous times.

My favorite email tagline is "In His grip" which is remarkable in that it commits two theological errors in three words: (1) refers to God as male, and (2) removes human freedom by being in the "grip" of God.

I often use it as an email signature to elicit guffaws from others.
