I don't wear makeup either, but I am just so good looking that I can't help but notice myself when I walk by a mirror!

That's what I've been thinking and especially since it's 12:30 a.m.
I think I'm going to bed.

If the pronouns don't matter in describing nouns like Father and bridegroom ... then we matter's well start calling God an it or she ... who gives a flying fajita, right, Prax????

Duh, you are just repeating what I said Dan and thinking you won some dumb point. This is just want I said. Masculine pronouns MUST be used for that masculine noun. That is exactly what I have been saying. The gender of words were not meant to show gender of the person anymore than a feminine Hebrew word for Spirit meant to show God's Spirit is a woman.
BTW I never said God was never referred to as Father throughout scriptures nor did I say God was never referred to as a He. Dan your posts lately have been just plain weird....

Once again Dan reiterates my point, thinking It's only his and that he is somehow refuting mine lol
This is once again, exactly my point. These gender specific nouns and pronouns are not necessarily relevant to showing us something has gender. The example I gave was church which is feminine and takes a feminine pronoun, thus proving my point that this does NOT prove the church is a woman. Maybe it's you that is overthinking here

Back to where we were before, discussing God in His Spirit, not God incarnate the MAN Christ Jesus. We were discussing How God is described in the Old Testament.

Please explain what it is you think I am dancing around? I never denied Jesus the man is a male.
