Retired Superhero - still trying to uphold virtues I think are worth fighting for. Character, Kindness, Bravery, and Truth.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

Wherever you are, be exceptional compared to the rest of the room. Skill and looks you can't always control. Character you can.

@JosiahHawthorne Who's being uncharitable now ;)

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

That's not the point he made, or the one I was asking about. I'm starting to think you aren't reading the conversation at all.

Let me try this one more time for you. He said that God being a male diminishes women. I was asking how. That's it. How does it diminish women. Nothing to do with gods dirty, just now that would diminish women.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@JosiahHawthorne Probably figure that out before before you accuse people of being uncharitable

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer Neither do I. You just seemed to have a trunk full of presuppositions about my question. Now that those are all out of the way, all I was asking, was if God was male, how does that diminish women at all when what God says about women is unchanged.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer Correct lol. And I still know I am created in God's image. The fact that God is female doesn't diminish what God has said about me. See how easy that was?

You were the one arguing that it was impossible to be created in God's image if you didn't match gods gender.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

The guy's post you're commenting on lol. You're really lost in this conversation I'm noticing.

That was your ppint not mine??? YOU asked how women would handle having to see God as a male and I said most Christian women already have to because they believe Jesus is God.

I keep saying that women are created in God's image and that has nothing to do with what God's gender is. I believe God is genderless and I still think I'm created in God's image

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@JosiahHawthorne Am I wrong?

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

I think that's true if it's applicable. I also think you should look for the context that the speaker is using. Talarico was speaking about gender specifically, so I don't think it's bad faith to use the definition that applies to gender and not the other.

In a conversation about homosexuality, if someone says "you're straight" when the person is gay, people would rightly say that's incorrect. If someone came and said "well I looked it up in the dictionary and one of the definitions for straight is 'Free from angles, curves, or unevenness' and the guy was standing up when you were talking to him. So you guys are being uncharitable", that would wouldnt make much sense would it?

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer You're getting waaaay in the weeds here. Visher believes Jesus is God. If God already revealed himself as a male, then women would already have to see images of God as a man.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

Adam was created from dirt. No one would say dirt crated Adam. God created Adam and God created Eve. The methods He used were different.

You know where the word "Christian" comes from right? From Christ. The most basic fundamental believe of a Christian is that Christ (Jesus) was the Messiah, God incarnate, and that he died for our sins.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@Strangeland_Elf This is the kind of humility we need more of in general. I applaud you ma'am.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer Judging by the fact that you think Adam created eve, and that Jesus is not God, I think it's pretty clear you don't understand Christian doctrine.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer Jesus was God incarnate. So women already have to look at God as a man

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer Bible doesn't say man created women from his ribs. You might need to read that again. You think the men that wrote the Bible made up Jesus?

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer I never said they had to. You asked me what I would do and I told you lol.
God already depicted himself as a man. So woman already have to do that according to you don't they?

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@pppeee122 @shelvinscc @philvischer I would look at what God said about me. That God said that I'm made in his image, same as the woman is. If God IS something, it shouldn't be changed because I don't like it or it makes me feel bad. That's on me, not God and everyone else.

@Darkestsunrize @natalie_1202 @Free_wolfe Because absent something going wrong, like a genetic abnormality, the rule is true.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@Darkestsunrize @natalie_1202 @Free_wolfe We have to catagorize things though, that's how we learn and navigate the world. You don't teach that humans have any number of legs. The amount of legs humans have is infinite. You say humans have two legs.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@natalie_1202 @Free_wolfe You're saying humans don't have 2 legs because mermaid syndrome exists. Humans don't have any hearts because some are born without them. Humans have tails because a couple were born with them.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@Perhapanaut @LyseLyfe And I've explained to you 8 times that that is not what I'm saying lol.

[TheSenator @TheSenat0r]

@Perhapanaut @LyseLyfe I watch movies by directors I don't agree with. Just because I disagree with them doesnt mean what they put out sucks. It's not that hard to understand.
