The Church of England is thinking – yes, I know, an oxymoron, but bear with me – of using gender neutral words when referring to God. Thus “Nory” is a “name which is derived from the “no” and “ry” in “non-binary”. It may work for ze, but does it work for God?
Justin Welby thinks (there I go again, another oxymoron) it might:
The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, the religious head of the church, previously said that “God is not male or female” or “definable.”
“All human language about God is inadequate and to some degree metaphorical,” he said in 2018.
Just further proof that the Anglican Communion continues its fall into apostasy with NO opposition from those who are supposed to stand for the Gospel. The time has long since passed for the appointment of the Archbishop to be subject to the approval of true genuine Christians who stand for the Gospel and refused to bow down to the “god of political expediency.
What is the significance of the image of a face in this posting ? Is it being assumed I will recognise it ? If so, I don’t.
It’s the androgynous Satan from “The Passion of the Christ” film.
Welby is quite right, but we must qualify this with the truth that some metaphor is God-given.
In His ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ’, ch. 22:18-20 Amen, The Living WORD declares what the ‘Book Ends’ are of His Infallible because Holy WORD + Revelation 22:18,19 and + Deuteronomy 4:2 Amen.
Of course Welby is wrong, we all know that God is a White man, obese, with a white beard, who eat McDonald’s and fried chicken, drinks Pabst and speaks English only
