In reply to Linda Marko.

God is "beyond" all sexual distinctions, as Gregory of Nyssa and Hilary of Poitiers taught. If God made humanity in his image "male and female," then it seems logical that both masculine and feminine reflect God's nature. The Bible uses masculine language for God, and and we should respect and use that language. But it is also true that a number of passages speak of God in feminine terms, so it isn't always wrong to think or speak of God as "loving us like a mother," for instance. The author assumes but does not prove a connection between the feminist theologians he names and Feuerbach, so it's unfair of him to assert that they all deny the inspiration of Scripture. And John J. Flanagan is heading toward Crazytown with his talk of "the globalists" and the "Great Reset" conspiracy theory.
