I’m not saying it is. But God has created rules and guidance for us on the earth so we don’t get sucked into it. I want to honour God and I don’t always know what to do, the same is true for others, that’s part of why CC exists

I have never been a female before. Maybe this is why I find this thread to be just a bit confusing? Do many females share your feelings? I would not feel comfortable if I were referred to as an 'it'.:confused:

Please don’t think me rude, but whether or not you are female is not the issue and is somewhat irrelevant. I personally know both males and females who want/use different pronouns. I do not wish to be referred to as ‘it’ either but some do, that is their personal choice.

I believe Jesus died on the cross. By doing so, He took the punishment for my sins and went to hell in my place. His death is significant because He is the only one who could walk out, and He did.
If I don’t believe(or accept) that, I’m taking my sins back, and paying for them myself and I can’t walk out of that.

I‘m asking the pronoun question because I don’t want to be going against God but I haven’t found a straight answer

I'm not making a Judgment if you are a Christian or not , but you can't take back the sins he already died for ? He also did not go to hell for you. He died for your sins . By believing the death ,burial and resurrection ,he saves you .

If your biological sex is male then you're a he/him/sir. If your biological sex is female you're a she/her/ma'am.

'They' refers to two or more people or someone of an unspecified gender.

If you're going for a gender neutral approach you can refer to yourself as a person or one.

Examples:

I am one who prefers a gender neutral pronoun.

I am a person who wants to discuss pronoun changes as a Christian.

My thoughts exactly o_O

I like apples because she are delicious

I love Jesus because they saved me


These are not interchangeable words. Our rules of grammar dictate how we use them, not some freaky fad.

Maybe this will help: let’s say you and a friend are at a restaurant. You both have finished eating and the bill comes, and its expensive. Your friend says they’ll pay for the meal. You now have a choice: you pay or your friend pays for both meal. By refusing to believe(or accept) that Jesus took our sins, we’re paying the bill. He wants to pay and will, but we have to choose.

I’m sorry, apples are ’she’?? Apples are inanimate objects.
Jesus is male, so His pronouns are “He/Him”

Yes, I understand what you’re trying to convey, my apologies. I was confused because ”she” is singular and “apples” is plural.

I have never met a singular apple who demanded to be called a she. :)

Agreed, usually it’s ”an” or “the” but the apple can reproduce due to the seeds, so technically, yes, an apple could be “she”

It's a good thing English doesn't use language gender as well isn't it?
What would this generation do with that?

German for example, has 3 definite articles. Masculine/feminine & neuter.
And you have to know the gender of every noun.

Apples are masculine :)
