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?
I think the Lord God and the Lord Jesus would prefer we concentrate of getting the good news of the Gospel out rather than getting tangled up in the weeds with semantics regarding Him?
Does it matter if God, is male female or neither? No. Is it something we will ever know on this earth? No So should we really be concerned about this? No Isn't this kind of
futile? Absolutely!
1 Samuel 12:21
21And do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty.
What about the phrases the "LORD your God" ? Is He not our master? Which is what
the word means?
