If God does not punish this generation, he will need to apologies to Sodom and Gomorrah
And i think a short period of time remains before GOD punishes this generation.

They are right though.

I've always thought it's misogynistic to refer to God as HE.

God should be THEY. God doesn't have a gender.
Lol this is funny
Do u refer to your father as THEY?
Say the lord's prayer & if u refer to ur father as THEY, then it is ok.

so Jesus that called God our Father, he is stupid, right? This homo thing is the 666 the Bible warned us about.We have seen people who lost their means of livelihood because they rejected the homo nonsense.


God is Love.


The Bible Reckons This.


So, Wherever 2 or 3 are gathered; There is LOVE. The Presence of LOVE Abounds.


When People are Divided, There is HATE; Hence No GATHERING.




The First Meaning of The First Conceptual Letter "G" of "GOD" Means "GATHERING".




Russia and Ukraine are presently being DIVIDED Killing Themselves because They Have Allowed HATE Becloud Their Sense of Reasoning.





The Next Letter "O" Symbolizes "ORGANIZATION".



The "Gathering" of People Should Advance To Getting People "ORGANIZED".


ORGANIZED To Be Productive and Profit-Oriented with LOVE That Breeds TRUST.



The Last Letter 'D' Symbolizes "Division of Labour".



So; A People That is Well Organized Are A People Who are Not DIVIDED in Spirit as They Properly UNDERSTAND Their Respective Goals and Tasks in Their Various Discipline of Divided Labour.




God is The LOVE and TRUST That Exist Between You and I.









G - Gathering

O - Of

D - Disciples.




Disciples are Disciplined Apostles of LOVE and TRUST.








Know This And Know Peace.













~ The Messiah Of Africa (TMOA)

Even as someone who doesn't believe this makes no sense. The Bible clearly uses he, him and father to address the god. Maybe it's time they admit it's all just a fairytale.

God shouldn't be Gender ... I refer to God as "It"

E.g Almighty God of the Universe and Everything Therein Itself .....

God is not a Man! ... God is a Scientist not an Abracadabra! ....

The Sciences Unknown to Human Knowledge Sphere is Referred to as "Spiritualism" ...

Once Spiritualism get Debunked(Interpreted to Human Mental/Logical Sphere) it becomes Sciences ......

God is Never a Him But a "It" ....
Lol
But the bible referred to him as a father & king of kings. Do u refer to your father or your king as IT?

Man I have read about different religions and their creation stories be it mythological or real
What they point out is the use of a gender based pronouns apart from the sub gods. Why it is so it is because of the way these beings showed themselves to their worshippers, you can’t tell me a traditionalists refer to their spirit gods or ancestors who transcended to gods as “it” except they are collectively referred. You go with the point of the religion sold to us and you use their language in addressing same thing, brother to each it’s own and what they believe, mind you this is Church of England and not church of Africa nor Nigeria, the bible spoke about the controversies that will surround the church and how different people will come with their narratives of what they feel like the church of God should be. Even if the bible is written by men doesn’t it amazes you that things that has happened and still happening now correlate with the scripture? Even the Muslim quaran highlighted things that has happened so y’all with the narrative of all these religion jumbo talks are only virtue signaling and consoling your self because deep within you there’s a conflict.
Bro I don't disturb myself Over Bibles and Qur'an like that... I read them as Reference Point to those who Utilised God for Economic and financial Development of their Nations other than Being Servants to Tree and Idols ....

That Point us to Sciences alone .... life is all God + Scientific-Facts .....

God without Scientific-Facts is Stupidities...

Scientific-Facts without God is Shallowness Fuelled Arrogance ....

Nevertheless, We are all Under Forces Beyond Us Both Gravitational and Electromagnetic Forces and it become worst for Your Generations(Subsequent Genes) if You are Being Powered by African Technologies(Charms) Because Your Life would know No Peace But Wars Same as Animals Kingdom ....

God is not a Gender and that's the Most Reasonable and Responsible Explanations of God to me ... It should be the Supreme-Absolute Force/Powers of the Universes Beyond the Realm of Humanities But One Day as We are Progressing We Would Get There But Personally I think I have Gotten There atleast Abstractly/Theoretically ...

God is a "IT not a He/She" because at this Generations We should have known There is no any White Beard Man with Palaces in the Space and If you find what's beyond your mental Sphere ... you go just go Mad.

I'm a Human and a He ... God is a "IT"... Simple!

Now can u see how senseless u sound?
The Bible is God's Manual for Christians. There is no gathering of Christians without a bible, everything we do as Christians is from the bible, just like the constitution of a nation. Now if u don't even believe in God's words which is the bible, it means u don't believe in God. As such u shouldn't even comment on this topic.

Good move!

We are gradually getting there. This madness you support will get to everyone one way or the other.
By the way, they brought the Biblical God and reserve the right to amend the interpretations whichever way suits them.
Afterall the Bible you are hugging today had been amended and edited so many times to fit particular narratives.
What? You are triggered because it is happening in your own time?
As long as you abandoned your God, don't complain about how others dictate that their God should be worshipped.
It is not the fault of other races that Africans are very impressionable.

The Anglican Church is no longer under the Church of England, we no longer take instructions from them so they do whatever they like....they received the word first but we will interprete it to them and lead them back to christ. That what the Bible meant when it said the first shall be the last and last first
