The maternal qualities of God

[Anchorite]

It sounds like you have substituted the bible for Jesus.
The bible says having slaves is acceptable, going to war is the done thing, there is no problem with genocide, etc etc.

Wake up! Jesus defines the new covenant. He doesn't use the limitations of men's limited vision and the concessions God made to define this covenant. Read Matthew 5 and absorb it if you are interested in new covenant principles.

If you want to use old covenant principles as your way of seeing, you only condemn yourself and oppress others.

Jesus is the Word manifested in the flesh.

The Bible is unknown to you if you think it does those things you accuse it of.

You would know nothing about Jesus without the Bible.

The Old Testament foretold of the coming Messiah. The New Testament confirms Him. The entire
Bible teaches us spiritual truth. The Shack trashes the truth and replaces it with sacrilegious man made doctrine.

Jesus is the Author. You can't separate Him from His Written Word. He drowned all but 8 on Earth. He burned Sodom alive. He didn't ask anyone's permission. He will burn BILLIONS of humans in Hell FOREVER. He won't ask anyone's permission.

And you want to spend eternity worshiping that?

HIM, not 'that'! Did you ever find a god?

 

[St. SteVen]

HIM, not 'that'! Did you ever find a god?

You overlook all that to worship Him?

No issues with global genocide as a cover-up?
Or countless billions burning in the dungeon?
How many of them are your loved ones?

--- PARODY ---

Christian: God is love!
Prospect: What about the "hell" thing?
Christian: Oh, that's God's justice.
Prospect: How is that justice?
Christian: God has two sides.
Prospect: You mean he is two-faced, as in untrustworthy.
Christian: No, he is totally trustworthy.
Prospect: But aren't I currently in danger of hell?
Christian: Yes, but we can fix that?
Prospect: Fix it? Why is it even there if God is trustworthy?
Christian: Put your trust in Jesus and God will protect you.
Prospect: So, Jesus died to save me from God?
Christian: Well yes... I suppose he did...
Prospect: Are you nuts?

 

[Jack]

You overlook all that the worship Him?

Huh?

No issues with global genocide as a cover-up?

You make about ZERO sense!

Or countless billions burning in the dungeon?

That's YOUR choice. Don't blame Him.

How many of them are your loved ones?

Acts 16:31 Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you'll be saved, you and your family!

Yes, you already told us you reject God of the Bible. But there may be hope for you.

Jude 1:22-23
22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,

The whole idea of God as mother and having feminine aspects only came about with modern feminism and egalitarianism. I don't think it was even on the radar throughout history. It was naturally assumed that men were heads of families and the church.

 

[stevesonthebay]

I think the mothering and feminine gods and priestesses and the idea of mother nature birthing the world ect are pagan ideas which surrounded the Isrealites and early Christian church.

Modern society in rejecting the Old Testament God and Christ are becoming more pagan and this is bringing back the idea of feminine gods and worship. Feminine and mothering gods are a natural part of worshipping nature itself as god.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all called HE in the Bible, NEVER SHE!
