[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Next step: Drop God[/quote] Yes because obviously if God can't be masculine then he's not really God and not worth having. [/quote] Well, the Bible actually says God is our Father. [/quote] I can't speak to Greek, but Hebrew does not have a gender neutral word for "parent" . Its either av, or im. When discussing parents or ancestors generally, we use the masculine ("avot") may be used. Similarly for gendering of plural pronouns, children ("Bnei Israel" which is translated children of Israel, really means "sons of Israel" but the female "bnot" is used when females only are referred to, when its a mixed group of children or descendants, its "bnei") But I suppose to Episcopalians the bible is really an English document ;)[/quote]
