The Cosmic Joke. by menxer: 12:09pm On Sep 16, 2017 |
Why is the Female not represented in the Trinity of the Christian Godhead, yet Christians are against people with same sex orientation? Does Islam have a Female counterpart to Allah? Since Muslims are promised female virgins in Paradise, maybe there is in Paradise. OK, what if Allah is not in Paradise but in Heaven? Or is it a wrong assertion that Heaven is different from Paradise? Which is most appropriate "the hermaphrodite God" or "the homosexual God" in describing the sex orientation of the God of our chosen religion? The sexless God sounds apt to me, though it raises the question of male dominance and female exclusion from the Trinity. Does this informed the subjugation of the female in the affairs of men and their relegation to the kitchen and the other room activities? You are the Cosmic Joker if you think of your God as Father denoting male gender when your God ought to be sexless to fit the status of a God. |

menxer: It touched itself to beget itself as its only begotten son. Is it a self-servicing (Not to be mistaken for self-serving ...although it probably is that too) schizophrenic? |

AgentOfAllah:. This is not to foster religious bigotry but a call to take a look at our beliefs from the point of the Observer, not a blind adherent. |

Seriously serious, I never knew of your extreme stupidity before this thread (apologies for the word stupid ) Wait... let me lecture you What makes human male or female are the differences in body... A man/woman is made up of the body, spirit, and soul. The body was made of sand and will decay, then turn back to sand after death, the spirit lives forever. Man was made in the image of God and woman was made from man (just the body) but we all share the same spirit form as a result of same breath of God whose name is Yahweh. (Read the creation story in Genesis 1 and 2). The moment man or woman dies, there is no more gender difference that is why there won't be marriage in heaven (Mathew 22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.) Note the bolded from Jesus' quote- they will be like the angels of heaven There are no female angels The Greek word for “angel” in the New Testament, angelos, is in the masculine form. In fact, a feminine form of angelos does not exist. There are three genders in grammar—masculine (he, him, his), feminine (she, her, hers), and neuter (it, its). Angels are never referred to in any gender other than masculine. In the many appearances of angels in the Bible, never is an angel referred to as “she” or “it.” Furthermore, when angels appeared, they were always dressed as human males (Genesis 18:2, 16; Ezekiel 9:2). No angel ever appears in Scripture dressed as a female. The angels named in the Bible—Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer—had male names and all are referred to in the masculine. “Michael and his angels” (Revelation 12:7); “Mary was greatly troubled at his [Gabriel’s] words” (Luke 1:29); “Oh, Lucifer, son of the morning” (Isaiah 14:12). Other references to angels are always in the masculine gender. In Judges 6:21, the angel holds a staff in “his” hand. Zechariah asks an angel a question and reports that “he” answered (Zechariah 1:19). The angels in Revelation are all spoken of as “he” and their possessions as “his” (Revelation 10:1, 5; 14:19; 16:2, 4, 17; 19:17; 20:1). |

lagostokd:As brilliantly condescending as you are, you have failed to explain in whose image the woman was created, pay attention to your words: "Man was made in the image of God and woman was made from man (just the body)" Does that imply woman was made in the image of man? If the only difference between male and female is just in the body, how come Angels have only male bodies? Since there is no woman in heaven as all angels are male, is it safe to say heaven is "same sex" place in a sense? Does it mean women will be transformed to males on getting to heaven to get their heavenly reward? If so, why the bias against transgendered folks on earth? How does, "as in heaven also upon the earth" (Mathew 6:10) fit in this context? Besides, your argument still bolster the dominance of male both on earth, in heaven and in the Trinity. I guess that means the female should go and do the needful to herself. |

menxer:1. Not trying to hold brief for your trinity ideas but why does the female require representation in that? Why does it matter the gender or lack, of God? 2. Why do you require your deity to have some sort of sexual orientation? 3. A Sexless God raising questions of male dominance? Or do your private delusions lead you to assume that instead? |
