in speech class today, we learned about people getting offended when someone would say something like "POLICE MAN OR FIREMAN OR BUSBOY, etc. and one other thing she mentioned was god. apparently, women were getting upset because the bible called god a man. so they are now changing some bibles to make the word "HE" (referring to god) to "HE/SHE". what do you think about that?

First, you have to know that God is a spiritual being. so you can't decide whether he is male or female based on the reproductive system. but the bible (god's word) uses the pronoun reference to god as "him," "he," and "his." Also, Jesus said that God was his father, not his mother. Jesus's mother did not have intercourse with joseph. Joseph only played the role of a father for jesus while he was on earth. god sent the Holy spirit to plant jesus into mary. if Joseph did have intercourse with mary, which is considered sinful, that act would contradict god's commandments.
People who believe that the bible should include "he/she" or "him/her" do not pay attention to what is really important. and if they want those pronoun references to be applied to god, then they simply do not even know who god is. "of what one cannot speak, of that one must keep silent." -Ludwig wittgenstein. Basically, if you don't know much about an issue, please do not argue about it. |
