    Sex and Gender friendly discussion

    I must admit that while I had a good idea of what the word sex referred to, I was not so sure about how gender played into that. So I would like to start with the bare definitions: Sex - "either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are...

    Man and Woman created in God's image - Conversations about Gender/Sex

    So man and woman are created in God's image without one being lesser than the other. With that in mind, doesn't it seem that God is likely genderless? I know what Genesis says about how man and woman work together, but can we consider the idea of sex and gender being separate for a moment, and...

    Gender of biblical language words used for divinity

    Does any one actually believe YHWH is one gender or the other? Elohim used in Genesis is a plural (strike out feminine - old scribe's error) masculine noun. The Hebrew, Greek, or English word for father uses the word figuratively. In the biological sense of the meaning of YHWH is not "our...

    Is God Father and Mother? Is God beyond gender?

    In 2016, the first diocesan woman bishop of the Church of England said that God is neither male or female and that she avoids gendered pronouns for God.

    In an August 12th op-ed piece for the New York Times a Rabbi offers a highly elastic view of gender and, “Counter to everything we grew up believing, the God of Israel — the God of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was...

    On the Redefinition of Marriage Republicans condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell, and affirm marriage as the union of one man and one woman as the “cornerstone” of society which states have a right to recognize as such, and declares that “every child deserves a married mom and dad.”...
