is this a good time to ask why we still gender god?

U mf

I gender God because in my religion he refers to himself as the father which is masculine.

To bind him to any pronouns would be inappropriate but he refers to himself as a he and anything else would be disrespectful

my partner was reading about this yesterday, https://theconversation.com/what-the-early-church-thought-about-gods-gender-100077 that's why i asked. i don't have much of a head for languages, but it irks me how so many languages can't express anything without implying gender. anyway, this is a complete aside, i do appreciate your meme. who is the person in it?

I wish I knew 🤷🏼

God hates assholes like pedophiles.Hes a very kind and holy man,but he's not stupid.

God hates the sin

Not the sinner

But of course- that’s just my religion- we believe a lot in compassion and mercy and such 🤷🏼

I shouldn’t have said that. I’m very sorry. I’m gonna delete it.

It was definitely insensitive but it was okay-

Just keep in mind when you say things like that you open up your own self to hardcore criticism and mean comments

My only thing is if you dish it out you have to take it too

But I’m not mad homie

I’m not ContentDeleter from late 2018 anymore. I can take a lot of shit now that I couldn’t before, I just didn’t want to offend you on accident. Besides, I have reddit, I see anti-furry and Nazi like jokes every now and then.

Please don’t take that comment the wrong way, I’m not a religious fanatic and I believe in lgbtq+ rights. Please I’m sorry, I didn’t think I would offend anyone.

Lmao it’s fine dog I was kiddin 😂

I’m religious but I’m not easily offended 😂
I just go a little hard on the joke thing- (like I can be mean without meaning to) I wasn’t tryna make you worry

Ah, that’s still my bad though, I’ve gotta learn to be more careful, I’m still on that MSMG mindset lmao. I didn’t know if you were one of those people who have different personalities or different jokes for each stream or group chat. Again, my bad 😅.

It’s cool!!!

And nah-
I think everyone’s dumb and deserves to be bullied the same 😎 (as long as it’s all in good fun lmao)

I agree with this statement. You just caught me off guard lmao. That’s why I was worried.

What he say

What if god hates everyone?

Then he wouldn’t have created you

What if god didn't create us?

Nobody else could’ve created you, you have to be a God to truly Create something and science shows signs of intelligent creation.

Whether you believe in a specific religion or in heaven is up to you

But as far as science is concerned, something or someone made everything 🤷🏼 And it definitely doesn’t hate you

As a Christian who just converted- 3 years ago- that part has always been common sense for me- I always knew something had to make us 🤷🏼

But I didn’t figure out what it was until I did some research and settled on Yahweh(the Christian God)

If you have further questions I’d suggest you look into them yourself!!! As I’m not an apologist nor a philosopher- I’m a 16 year old and I don’t have all the answers

Thank you

But of course, you are entitled to your beliefs-

then my brother is god
