    The Masters Prayer

    Plurality is funny-Genesis 1:26 "Let us make [Humanity] (often mistaken as man) in our image, according to our likeness." It's in the plural? Genesis 1:27-"God created [humanity] (again often mistaken as man) in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."...

    The Masters Prayer

    It's funny that you say gender doesn't matter. Yet still use a gendered term. I'm not necessarily telling you to call god mother, though by your reasoning it would be acceptable, and I'm sure it would be acceptable to the Lord. Because in the Old Testament God is referred to in places where the...

    I bet you're even using the "trustworthy" English Bible

    The Masters Prayer

    It's amazing how you know God's limits. When we are told in job 11:7-9 “Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know? Its measure is longer than the earth and...

    I just believe that I'm on to something. You see Christians often imagine “taking the Lord’s name in vain” as saying a curse word, but in Scripture the commandment is far deeper and far more serious. In Exodus 20:7, the Hebrew phrase laśśāw’ (“in vain”) means emptily, falsely, or in a way that...

    And in the world where everything is going wrong, we couldn't be wrong about something like this. May the Almighty bless you sister

    Yeah just tell me what verse says that you have to refer to God in a masculine sense. And if God is meant to be referred to in only or specifically the masculine sense that means the places that refer to God in the feminine sense are wrong or untrue.

    Can the Bible Be Considered “Sinful”? A Theological Exploration of Scripture’s Humanity, Gendered Language, and Limitations Introduction Christians often affirm that the Bible is perfect, infallible, or without error. Yet the Bible itself insists that every human being is sinful — including...

    The Masters Prayer

    Eve wasn't taking from man's head. She was taken from his side and not in part (as with the untrue rib translation) but from the whole she was constructed as a temple. And because of sin she was told that "her head would strike man's Heel" If they were created that way why would God place her in...

    Genesis 1:26 “Then God said, Let us make mankind (humanity) in our image, in our likeness, so that THEY may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

    And hell is real and it's forever. Yeah right.

    The Masters Prayer

    And I'm not necessarily saying that God should be assigned a female title though this would be as correct as a male title. But we are doing God and Injustice by referring to the Creator in human terms rather than as the Holy One or Almighty. But according to the Bible they're supposed to be a...

    The Masters Prayer

    But why do Christians refer to God in masculine terms like father, he, and him. You may think that I'm in violation of the scripture, but does not the scripture say in "Job 33:12 God is greater than man." And nowhere in the Bible are we commended to use male imagery for God. But Christians often...

    The Masters Prayer

    The English interpretation has not done justification to the Greek and Hebrew languages. The doctrine of Hell comes from English interpretation. But I plan on continuing to pursue this along these lines of this understanding. And if I'm wrong "love covers a multitude of sins" 1 Peter 4:8 I...

    The Masters Prayer

    So, I wrote this after going through Genesis 1–2 in my study, and honestly, I thought I already knew what these chapters said. I always assumed the creation story put men first and women second, and that this somehow meant men were “above” women. But after actually reading the Hebrew terms...
