They are right though.

I've always thought it's misogynistic to refer to God as HE.

God should be THEY. God doesn't have a gender.

Maybe it's time to admit that the Bible itself is misogynistic.

The healthcare which use to be their pride is in total chaos. The waiting list now is horrendous. They dont even have enough staff and the staff there are not well remunerated, hence the reason for the strike.

The funding for education has been drastically cut. Things have totally changed in the UK. Brexit has finished them.

They should start by abolishing the BIBLE.
Because whatever they want is not what the Bible is saying.



Then, that means that they should “create” another definition and concept for “God”.

That also means that God is no more what they used to teach that “God” used to be.
Thus, this new “God“ now becomes a product of their own “imaginative creation”.

Now,, with this situation...
What's the need for religion again.

Let everybody choose to create a religion abide by, or choose not to create anyone at all.

Rightousness1:

God created Man in His image, meaning that God is a Masculine (He), and going by the book of Genesis He created the woman (Even) as the last creature and not in His image but a suitable helper. The Church of Christ shall prevail
you are part of the problem. Who told you that god is masculine and eve is not in his image? Sexist!

Now can u see how senseless u sound?
The Bible is God's Manual for Christians. There is no gathering of Christians without a bible, everything we do as Christians is from the bible, just like the constitution of a nation. Now if u don't even believe in God's words which is the bible, it means u don't believe in God. As such u shouldn't even comment on this topic.
You are an Emotional Buffalo ... I understand You anyway ... Once Someone touches You bunches Emotional Thresholds it feels like Orgasm grin

I don't Belief in Myopic Explanations of God and Absolutely Nothing Stops me from Finding God as an African of course with Recourse to those who has found God in Other Nations ....

I'm not a Spiritual Fool Bro ... I'm Woke !

Bible was written by Men who Utilised God to Reshape their Societies..... The Jewish Manuals .. Qur'an was Prophet Mohammed Encounters Same as Other Proponents of God without Distinction between any of them instead People who are Emotional and Political !

I can Also Write my Own Encounter with God As an African Same as You in this Dispensation which would be a Reference Point to Future Generations and Once Utilised by Future Generations they Would have Similar Experiences like Mine because we are all being guided by Same Manual "My Bible" .... that's why People who Serve God via Jesus wouldn't have same Experience with People who Serve God via Moses/Mohammed because the Culture of the Proponents Differs.......

Everyone was trying to validate God based on their Life Encounters, Experiences, Exposures and Salvations !

African needs to Find their own God and use it to Validate their Peculiarities/Culture/Norms ... instead of Waiting and Emotionally attached to some people's definitions of what God is ... That's why all of una are easily Brainwashed to become Zombie and Terrorists !

So those homosexual pastors, now believe that Jesus Christ is wrong when he said my Father in heaven.

Doesn't that ring a bell that the Father is a He being and Spirit.

This demon called satan had already instituted his agents in many churches and topest positions in govt's.

Same reason we are dying to find just a single saint to represent us in govt. Do you think Nigeria politicians are wicked? NO they are not. They are doing the biddings of their master.
Even if they want to be good, they can't. Else they pay for it.

So, let us ask God the father, for His choice of candidate.

Westerners like to distort everything.

Northerners rather
England is in the north not west
ITKovasabiMod:

Thanks for the correction lol.
What I said isn't wrong and what you said is also correct.
Inhuman69:


Americans west
Europeans north
Asians east

Tbh, it's common knowledge that when you say West or Westerners, you're referring to Western Europe/Western Europeans..depending on the context, it may include the US, Australia Canada. They're then known as the collective West or just the West.
For clarification, the westerners I was referring to on this thread and the other thread is Europeans from Western Europe.

Now u are sounding more senseless & confusing. Do u have mental issues? There are many gods, idol worshippers also worship gods too. Which one are u referring to? If u don't believe in God's words, which is the bible, u shouldn't be discussing Christianity. It is that simple

You Africans are too Emotional People....

What Do You Know about Yahweh(Jews Name God) ... You don't know more than those people that Marketed God to You .. The British .... in Yoruba-Race God is Eledumare(Owner of Corpus of Universe) or Eledua(Owner of Corpus of Good-Characters) among Many ...

Don't Worry, Your Future Generations would refer to God as English Call Am if You are Stubborn enough not to Change ...

God is not Your Father ... God is God and God doesn't Have Gender ..... Neither a Man nor a Woman .... So God is a "IT" to Me not a "He or She"....

That's Doesn't Mean I'm Disrespectful to God ...But Acknowledging the Truest Nature of God as Non-Gender !
möron. Was Jesus a man or woman on earth?

Later African idiots will say the Bible cannot be edited or changed? Because a slavemaster deliberately inserted the comment to stop slaves from thinking.

Their madness is now beyond repair. I will not be suprise if Africa follows their pattern. Satan will always place his men/women in top positions in churches before he takes over. To every Christian know this: Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. Put your trust on Christ alone, not your pastor. Hebrews 12:2.
The church, Christianity is a white mans religion , they can choose to put or remove anything they want from it , the bible itself is fake

The man of God wants a “more inclusive language” by which God is referred to in Church of England services to portray the creator in a “non-gendered way”
