[QUOTE=DrPhil;1932317]Yikes. There's just way too much gender in there. Cringe.
======================
Last time I looked Jesus was a Man, and the last time I prayed the Lord's Prayer it began "Our Father Who art in heaven..."
Seems to me that it is kind of hard to ignore gender when discussing Christianity considering that we believe Jesus to be the "only begotten Son of God".
Gender neutrality seems oddly placed in a discussion regarding a Son who tells us of a loving Father we should think of as our Daddy.
Just as a side thought, I always tended to think that since we are told that we were made in the image and likeness of God then it seems to me that God the Holy Spirit should be seen as the female aspect of God. We are male and female and we are made in the image and likeness, so, doesn't it follow?
