That article is mostly hidden. From what is visible, it simply points out that there is female imagery used in Scripture for Wisdom. That's not a challenge to the Trinity.

The post is about God, they are not talking about Son, and Holy Spirit. I'm not talking about the Trinity, I'm talking about God, and God is a He.
The trinity is another topic.
This one is from a woman author same site 13 years later.That article is mostly hidden. From what is visible, it simply points out that there is female imagery used in Scripture for Wisdom. That's not a challenge to the Trinity.
That's what is vexing. The NABRE did not go down that road. Only the local liturgy.
When I went back to the same Roman Catholic church in 2014 for a friend's funeral mass, they went back to the "In Him, through Him" instead of the aforementioned "In God through God."
Where the NIV and NABRE did opt for gender neutral language they did not when referring to God.
For example,
John 16: NABRE
12 “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. 13 But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. 14 He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. 15 Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
John 16: NIV
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine position: That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
So it's interesting that even with all the discussions of making things more inclusive and neutral, both the NABRE and NIV still opted to keep the masculine when the neuter was available.
I was speaking of the John 16 translation. The NABRE uses the Koine Greek as do the translators of the NIV.Well, that's correct. In the Catholic church, God is a "He", and all three persons of the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all "he's" in Latin, so it is entirely consistent. Of course, the Trinity - Trinitas in Latin - is a feminine noun, so the correct pronoun for the Trinity is "she".
This Trinity, she is composed of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three hes.
Can you explain this believe to us? Scripture please
.Church of Sweden to stop referring to God as 'he' or 'Lord'
It is an important distinction to make, especially in modern times, when people believe that women can have penises, and that one's gender is defined by how one is feeling.Unless they say that our Lord is lying, Jesus Himself teaches us "Our Father" prayer. Father is masculine.

.Genesis 1:27 God created mankind in his own image ....... male and female he created them.
John 4:24 God is Spirit . In Scripture the word for Holy Spirit is female
We call God "He" because he is personal. It would be wrong to say "it" and it would be clumsy to say he/she all the time. But God is Spirit.
.
Please do not misinterpret the Word of God to suit your "doctrine" that God is also a She/female.
.Genesis 1:27 says that God created people in his own image; male and female he created them.
It means they do not know the Lord.Church of Sweden to stop referring to God as 'he' or 'Lord'
I mean, I don't believe God is necessarily physically male or female, but this seems like a bit much. What are your thoughts?
.
No, GENESIS.1:27 does not say that God created people or male and female in His image. GENESIS.1:27 only says that God created the first man, Adam, in His image.
.
1CORINTHIANS.11: = 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
1COR.14: =
34 Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. 35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own
