RE: RE: Sexist Trinity?
"Lover, Beloved, Love" is a pretty good way to explain it to those who may not get it otherwise.
No, it isn't. It is confusion. It is more of Satan's whispering. "Sexism" is a stupid construct created by feminists to browbeat gamma males. The phrase conveys nothing of the truth of the situation. It is also very subtly anti-trinitarian. If you didn't get it before you heard the phrase, you are actually farther from the truth after hearing it.
...because the traditional phrasing promotes men as superior to women.
As far as Christianity is concerned, they are, so what?
Presbyterian Legislative Committee chair, Nancy Olthoff, says the decision doesn't alter the church's theological position, but merely "provides an educational resource to enhance the spiritual life of our membership."
I have some bad news for you, Nancy. God's Word is not subject to committee review. You might want to reflect on that for a while.

One could easily say you're spewing hateful BS yourself... Don't get yourself so worked up.
Tucker doesn't know how to spew anything but hateful BS. And BS, it is. While he was only half paying attention in his religion classes, trying to see around the alcohol and pot induced haze of the previous night's partying, he heard something about some first century documents and how they came to be used in the church and how some people came to take a legalistic view of them. Being unable to actually think for himself, he applies that process to all Christians, while at the same time convincing himself that he has moral authority to re-invent Christianity as he sees fit.
In all honesty, I used to try the same kind of simple-minded and cowardly arguments myself, but then I grew up and learned the truth. I keep a hopeful spot for Tucker that the same will happen for him, but believe me when I tell you, it's not an easy place to keep.
What is a "real Christian"??? One that agrees with you???
I'm not offended by what Steve said... Likewise, I'm not offended by what Nancy Olthoff of the Presbyterian Legislative Committee said either. Life's too short to get worked up about it all.
I consider myself a Christian and I love women... With that said, I haven't heard women get offended by saying, "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" either.
