Shabbat Shalom to all
This is parts of a mail I received recently and thought to comment on it :
“ United Church of Christ goes 'God The Father'-free in 'updated' bylaws*
By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY
The morning sun shines over the cross atop a United Church of Christ
congregation. The denomination's revised bylaws do not use gendered
language, such as Father, for God.
Contrary to Internet rumours, the tiny, liberal United Church of Christ
denomination did not saw off one leg of Christianity's Holy Trinity when
it tweaked the language in its bylaws this week.
We are still a Trinitarian denomination. This was not a theological
document. It was a restructuring from five boards to one. And in doing
this, we dealt with bylaws written decades ago, before the
denomination's commitment to using inclusive and expansive imagery for God.
We no longer use exclusively male language to refer to God. We
haven't for a long time.
The board-consolidation resolution passed Monday night after several
hours of debate on restructuring that has taken six years to accomplish,
Guess says. With the change came the edit that replaces "Heavenly
Father" with the "Triune God."
How is that different? Barbara Powell, a spokesperson for the UCC, explains,
It could be Father or Mother or Creator God. Our language reflects
the God of all. “end
Let me make something very clear here, GOD Most High is called FATHER GOD.
Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
1John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2Peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
1Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Philemon 1:3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Titus 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour
John 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
The Bible not once mentioned that God is the mother or a mother.
All over the Word of God we read of God as “HE” and not “she”.
Jesus always talked about the Father in heaven as God.
All the disciples call Him God the Father.
These last days are very perilous and man will have to watch out and see what is going on in the church.
There are many churches who have this urge to be politically correct and will do anything to have the face of a politically correct church.
This is very wrong God is not politically correct and neither is Jesus.
The church must stand for what is Biblical and godly and not stand for what is nice in the eyes of man.
The words used for triune is not very biblical way to use.
God the Father
Jesus the Son
Holy Spirit the comforter and guide
They are three separate persons who always agrees in all ways and are in unison in sync if you will.
Jesus is the word of God as from John 1 in the beginning was the word ... and the word became flesh and lived amongst us.
The Holy Spirit or in Hebrew the Ruach HaKodesh - the Holy breath or in Greek Nooma – breath.
Each operated separately and also together, each one knowing what the other is doing.
By giving them is distinct name is not right and causes problems to understand for the your Christian or even Jew who is not much into the word.
The Bible always uses the male sense to describe God, Jesus and even the Holy Spirit, so if anyone says that God is a she they are blaspheming. Jesus said that when the holy Spirit comes HE will teach us and comfort us.
Jesus ALWAYS spoke about God as HE and as the FATHER and never used the female term to describe God.
It is therefore wrong to even think about the “trinity” as God the mother, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
As a matter of fact I have never read in the word that it is mentioned as God the Holy Spirit or God the Son.
You can do a search of the Bible Old and New Testament never once said or mentioned God the Son.
He is mentioned as the Son of God.
God is the father and there is no way that any person can change that.
God the Father is the creator and there is no God the mother creator.
It is no use they change things in church and rewrite the Bible in order to be politically correct or to make any type of person feel happy about him/her self.
The fact remains and we can’t change it.
We have no right to change the Bible or the words in the Bible to suit man and make man happy so that man can cover their sins.
Pray in these last days that you will be able to see that there are many false teachers who will change times and laws in order to fit in or to be accepted by all and to be politically correct.
I for one will never be politically correct, if it goes against the Word of God I will not approve.
Beware and pray
In Yeshua
