Father or Mother?

The Presbyterian Church in the USA has developed a proposal for coming up with substitute language for the traditional "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit". So, here we have a Church that is ashamed of its Father and its Saviour. As for the Holy Spirit, I can only assume they are offended by his name because He is holy.

"Father, Son and Holy Spirit" will now be known as "Mother, Child and Womb" or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend" at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services.

What idiocy. If God cannot even manage to reveal Himself in terms that He chooses, then what kind of God is He and why would we want to serve let alone worship Him?

The fact is, He has revealed Himself to us as Father, not least because He is the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; Son, because the Son is an exact replica of the Father, not a compementary image, and because Jesus Christ in his incarnation was in fact a male person; and Holy Spirit because holiness describes the essence of perfections.

The apostle John says that if we walk in the light, our fellowship is with the Father and the Son.

God is not ashamed to call me his son; I am not ashamed to call Him Father.

What is going on?

I thought the Presbyterians would hold out against the stupidity that has struck some other major denominations.

Satan seems to have taken over. This level of conspiracy is a credit to the Great Deceiver.

It is time for a renewal in our churches. We are going to have to clean out the demonic influence.

I understand that some African denominations have reversed the missionary trend. Now they are sending missionaries to North America. We obviously need all the help we can get.
