Is the Word of God Feminine?

[Eldeah]

But what I'm saying is that there's NOT 3 parts of God with one of those parts being female like your saying. We have 1 God, he's male, in the singular.

Oh okay.. But thats where I disagree. I think that one of those three was definitly feminine before creation. I think it just fits better in the context of Genensis 1:27. Imo i leaves the door wide open for a reading in that way.

I dont want to bring confusion, But you know that there was a time that Asherah was a thing in the region?
So that there can be a feminine person within the trinity, why would that be such a heretical thing?
I am not saying that Jesus is a female or something, i'm just saying that thing that was in the beginning before the world begun that was with the father can be feminine in aspect.

How Eve was formed from Adam (sharing in the same nature as Adam), that act could have been done before creation with the Father and Wisdom.

Nah it isn't, I believe in one G'd revealed in three persons...

 

[Eldeah]

You cannot discard the influence of other nations to the old testament text. The whole battle between Yahweh an Baal and the debate of the syncretization of yahweh en El are real things of history

Doesn't matter.

Then we are not worshipping the same God.

Period. That's a completely different God, a different gospel.

I expect there is some false teaching or false teacher influencing that one.

Thats true. I think everyone here worships a different G'd.
Some of you celebrate christmas and some of you don't.
Some of you attend churches where females need to be covered and some of you don't.
Some of you speak in tongues and some of you don't.
A G'd is defined by the works and ideals of its followers.
Look one of our G'ds will live life to the fullest in every way, shape and form. The other g'ds will be completly bound to the minds and words of its followers....

Read up who paul was. Read about yahweh and elohim

Surely not. By His very nature, God is defined by Himself, not by what different people believe about Him. None of the things you mention (whether or not to celebrate a special season of the year to remember the Saviour's birth, whether females should wear head coverings, whether or not speaking in tongues is a continuing gift to Christians) do not define almighty God.

Not quite sure what you mean. God living does not depend on what we think of Him. And what has the person of Saul/Paul got to do with it?

 

[Arleigh Crisman]

Jesus said, "I only do what my Father in heaven tells me."

 

[David Lamb]

Jesus said, "I only do what my Father in heaven tells me."

Sorry, but what has that got to do with the question of this thread? I don't understand your point here.

I have been thinking about this issue not just from Gods law and order and teachings but from what the feminine egalitarian hermeneutics does to clear teachings and how this undermines the church and bible.

We can clearly see the feminisation of the church with the cultural revolutions of the 60s such as the sexual and womens movement. From this point we see how not only did the culture war influence social norms it also influenced biblical teachings and the hermeneutics used. Which was the beginning of the push for egalitarianism which has led to sin now entering the church and claimed as proper teachings of a Christ who has been feminised into a progressive prophet who has come to build a DEI utopia.

We can see the language being changed and feminised about social justice, PC, even the mascullinity of God and Christ deminished or removed. Which is classic DEI re creating narratives to be genderless as man and women are interchangable.

Before this cultural revolution the traditional understandings of the differences in men and women within Gods creation order was accepted. But then it changed and just like society has overall become more feminised so has the church and teachings. Which has compromised Gods law and order and the clear teachings of Christ and the disciples.

It it for this reason that I think feminism is not good for Christians or to interpret clear teachings through a egalitarian feminine hermeneutics as it distorts Gods order, the relationships between Christ and the bride church and the differences in men and women in marriage and the reality of this being lived out in the bible.

Good Sir,
I know that you believe that G'd establishes its own nature. But in the end, it is Mankind who is known to be a Godmaker... We have been creating gods from the dawn of our existance.
I am not saying that there is no G'd. But look around you, mankind being in the image of G'd, created male and female, should be an indication of G'ds own nature being at least male-ish and female-ish. On the basis of this reasoning i would say that the Female aspect within G'd became flesh to dwell among us.
The people of that time have seen the Wisdom of G'd manifested in humanly form.

Hi

I Think the "the word" of G'd to be feminine in nature based on various passages of the bible.
It also makes more sense to have a female aspect within the trinity given the claim that humans
are made in the image of G'd.

Lets start with Proverbs 8:22-31. In the book of Proverbs we encounter the character of Wisdom.
throughout the text we read that this character is feminine in nature and that it was with G'd from
the beginning of creation.

In my opinion this character of Wisdom is the same as the Logos of John, for and through which everything was created.
This Wisdom became flesh and dwelled among us through the body of Jesus, the messiah.

What do you think?
Is the Logos feminine or masculine in nature?

No.

My Guy,
This is not about feminism. This is about opening your eyes. We all know that males and females fulfill different roles in society. There are certain things males can do way better than females and there are certain things females do way better than males. That's just biology.

Here is a thing. If Christians through faith are unbound from the this punishment because they walk in christ:

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”​

why do we still enforce it? Why not change this by the power of Christ?

Here is something to think about:
A man should treat his wife as how the father treats the Word.
Because through the Word everything came to be.
In the Word was life, which is the light for mankind.
This counts for humans as well. Through the female, a male finds his heir and legacy.
For in her is life and through her your legacy is given light.

Having a male and female aspect within G'd would be a far better lesson than having two guys upstairs.

 

[Eldeah]

No.

why?

 

[FaithT]

why?

Because the Bible speaks of God as a male and HIS Son who is part God part Man is a man.

 

[Eldeah]

Because the Bible speaks of God as a male and HIS Son who is part God part Man is a man.

Do you mean G'd as in (the trinity) or all individualities within the trinity? Because the G'd is a nature which is neither male nor female

 

[David Lamb]

Because the Bible speaks of God as a male and HIS Son who is part God part Man is a man.

Not "part God part Man is a man". Jesus Christ is fully God and fully Man.
