cococandy:
now we are getting somewhere.

God became 'white' because the white men had the upper hand. They had guns. They brought the religion. God was who they told us he was. Whether we liked it or not.

Same way he became a 'he' because those who made the decisions that mattered about him where men. He became a HE because men wanted him to be.
Relate?

With this, we needn't argue any further.

I knew where you were playing to..

So ur point is now that God is a human creation since men assigned gender to him and not the words of His only Son or even traditional religions

Chineke or Chukwu is denoted as male
Olorun is too
Zeus
Etc


So it is a global conspiracy to make God a male connotation ?

Ok

Africa was not colonized because God is white
It was because the white people had guns

Making.God black will not change the economic realities that the whites n blacks
face

I saw the way coogar attacked him and was intrigued. A brief skim through his old posts revealed more than enough!

You would need to deny the existence of God before this argument can fly...
If you believe in God because the white men said so why then do you doubt him being a he because they allegedly said so..
The people who made the basic decisions about God were inspired by God, to doubt what they wrote is to doubt God

FrancisTony:
Okay, white men didn't want blacks to feel inferior.

Why did they make God white when he's of no race?
Made Jesus white when he's actually black.

Some people will just comment stupidly just to feel among.

cococandy:
there's no conspiracy.
Read my post to francistony.

The thing is that it just happens that when we have to make human characterization of abstract figure that we haven't seen, we use the ideas best suited to us and the role that figure is going to play in our lives.

It is that simple.

Igbos have female deities. And each is ascribes a feminine gender because of the role it plays in the life of the people who worship it.
For example We have ani, goddess of the land/soil. She's responsible for fertility(which include soil fertility and female fertility; ignorantly, male fertility wasn't recognized as something to be worried about then)

The man was the father of the family so chukwu was ascribed the male gender because his role was the father of the other gods.
If the gods were going to have a father, it would make most sense in our human mind to make him a HE because men were fathers. It is only a natural thought progression.

Human beings create their own idea of God that's why we have so many varying versions of who God really is all over the world.
It doesn't make it necessarily true but it helps us be grounded in our relationship with the idea or who we want God to be in our lives.

I wonder what the economic benefit would be should we continue this debate that obviously leads no where. What we stand to gain debating on if God is white or black or brown or whatever, especially with bland kids here.
The same bible which most of these people steadily make reference to says all humans are in his image, was the same bible introduced to us by the whites and still the same bible some of us have found solace in it. Same bible made reference to God as a 'He'. In my opinion, a 'man' signifies 'authority', 'superiority', 'head', 'most powerful' and every adjective that points to the 'top'.
Also, what's the gain we'd derive pacifying these ladies who decide to on their own to feel inferior here that they can refer to God as a 'she'! If you refer to God as a she and 'She' answers your queries, meets you in times of your needs, so then good for you. You can also substitute all 'He' in the bible with your 'She'. But for those who don't buy this awkward idea, why crucify us?

sinizia:


Bro, if the Whites like they can make Jesus blue, guess what? I would never give a fúck nor feel inferior to them. They can make him violet, i still won't give a fúck. Jesus can be multicolored, guess what? Any White that treats me like I'm inferior to him because Jesus is multicolored, i'll bust a cap in his ass. Nothing, i repeat, nothing written in this world can make me feel inferior. I'm a black man and proud of it. I ain't bleaching for any reason. I can't say for you though.

pickabeau1:
So its all psychology n mindset that gods must be male?

So Christ who referred to God as Heavenly Father was also a mindset

I now see why God must be she.
That will undo the eons of brainwashing

Females will now be able to reach d top once we say God the Mother...

Why stop there

Jesus is female or maybe transgender

Christian feminists......carry go
