Strange Words

[kerravonsen]

Just had an interesting conversation with a couple of women who knocked on my door claiming to be "theological students" "practising a presentation". I put those in quotes because I now think that they weren't... well, technically you could argue that they were, in the sense that all those who read the Bible are studying the Bible and thus are "

Darn it, I just realised that I should have encouraged rather than discouraged them from coming back. Why? Because they need to be rescued from what sounds like (to me) a rather unhealthy church. Oh well. I guess all I can do now is pray for them, poor lambs.

What a kind person you are :)

All of the above reminds me of this lol

Ha! Oh that is adorable! And, yes, I see the resemblance.

Well, I would pay to see you discussing with these women!

[kerravonsen]

Why, thank you.

This is fascinating. (And there are quite a few more texts in scripture about the motherhood of God, we should discuss that sometime, it's quite interesting to me at the moment.)

I'm rather glad they got you as a conversation partner; perhaps your words and prayers will help lead them to someplace less... odd. I mean, humans are fallen angels? That sounds like one of the worse episodes of Supernatural. Heh.

My short opinion on this is: God-the-Father is definitely called "Father", I will not change the pronoun I use to refer to Him, but that doesn't mean that He doesn't have feminine traits. If you see what I mean.

And... I'm waiting for your reply to my last letter?

Indeed. I mean, there are so few verses in the Bible that refer to angels in the first place, we don't know a lot about them, so drawing a wild conclusion like that is... reaching much too far. Unless they were going by "angels are God's messengers, we are God's messengers, therefore we are angels"? Still backwards logic, though. A bit like saying "Men are mortal, dogs are mortal, therefore men are dogs". Um. No.

I frequently call God "Mother" in private prayer; not something I would insist anyone else do, but something that has really brought me a new understanding of the welcome God has for me, no matter what is going on with me or going on in my life.

I am working on a reply to your letter; I've been quite busy, unfortunately, so it's taking a while. Hopefully in a few days that will go out!

I call Him "Papa" in private prayer; something closer than "Father", but something different than the way I refer to anyone else.

Hopefully in a few days that will go out!
