The far more pertinent fact is that some Christians believe in and do all manner of wondrous things. So do some atheists. Be like them.

Anybody who conceives or is the creator of something is supposed to BE the father of a creation. When a child is born, he receives his father's title. The Father of Invention is probably a term YOU are familiar with. I cannot take full credit for YOUR species on earth.

I AM not YOUR Father nor can YOU perceive MY omnipotence in YOUR present state.
Also it would BE beneficial to REMEMBER that anything I can do, others can do. EveryONE is God. It's just that I have been doing it longer than any other entity.

No ONE really is YOUR father. Yes, a man seeded a woman, so in turn she could give birth to YOU. But he is not the sole creator of YOU by any means. If YOU feel the title must BE applied, then YOU, YOURself, are the real father.

Yep.... did you actually read the quote I provided? I re-read it and can't find any reference to calling God in the feminine form being promoting as "a good thing".... the quote I provided seemed pretty clear to me.....

Not just taboo.... wrong.... again, not sure why this was not clear.

Peace in Christ,

Why do people want to resort to childhood again when they are adults?

Growing up, I never really had a fair example of a father figure that I could compare GOD too. I'm also sure that there were many kids of my generation who haven't. I do not think this is a positive or accurate way to perceive GOD.

It seems that you have (purpously?) MISQUOTED me,
even though my sentence clearly ended with an all capital MOTHER.

This is what I ACTUALLY said...
Quote:
After 4 years out the RC church,
I have finally JUST this past week
connected in a REAL and dynamic way to God as MOTHER.
NEVER did I say that I did not LOVE and RELATE to God as Father!
No one has loved and appreciated God as Father more than me.
You just don't know.

You yourself said....
God's parental tenderness can also be expressed by the image of motherhood, which emphasizes God's immanence, the intimacy between Creator and creature

We ought therefore to recall that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes. He is neither man nor woman: he is God. He also transcends human fatherhood and motherhood

So I don't get it?
Why can we know the transcendent God expressed as Father,
but NOT Mother?

Nostalgia. Times were simpler, responsibilities were lighter, cartoons were quirkier, moments were more memorable. Many of us will die from nostalgia, that's how I want to go.

Sorry... foreign concept to me.... the father/mother disctinction not really a part of my faith.... God is God to me.... not male or female.

Ummm.... maybe there is a language barrier or something....

1.We ought therefore to recall that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes.
So your/my understanding of God as man/woman is always going to be less than the reality of what God really is.
2.He is neither man nor woman: he is God.
