One should always remember the bible was written by men in an era when women were not much more than slaves. They would NEVER put any female in a position of power like that.I think an overwhelming number of Christians wouldn't agree with me either, OED, (as you state!) Most of them are probably horrified that I even brought up the subject. It always has been God the Father in all branches of the Christian faith and to even think God the Mother is close to blasphemous to most and they probably turn away from the subject in shock!
As I wrote in previous posts, in other threads, to me God has always been Spirit, not a man, and I took it from there, it gave me the liberty to indulge in a bit of wishful thinking.
Again, apologies to you and to my fellow Christians (if they can accept me as one) for managing to offend most of you! I do get carried away in my love of discussion!
"Christian" means you believe Jesus is the son of god. ALL who believe so are christians. I'd say Pentecostals are pretty cult-like as well. Catholics too.Fail to see how Mormons are Christian. Nonsensical cult, IMO. Of course some might say it's all nonsensical cults, but I have a sense of history and the Mormons made up their own. Blasphemy!
I very much regret having started this thread. In my continued spiritual search I just came across this, and will never speak of a Heavenly Mother again!!!!"Christian" means you believe Jesus is the son of god. ALL who believe so are christians. I'd say Pentecostals are pretty cult-like as well. Catholics too.
