If Jesus the son of God referred to God as His Father, who are you?
If he referred to God as his "FATHER", not his mother, his creator, his brother, his sister or anything else but HIS FATHER, then who are these Bishops to decide on such Matter?

Genesis 1:26 states: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;..."

Meaning Man was first created in the image of God...

Genesis 2:21-22 says, "So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

God created Man IN HIS IMAGE.
And from the rib of a Man brought He(God) a Woman.

Whether or not people find it appealing shouldn't be up for debate.
If the Bible is, in and of itself, the "Word of God", Why try to Correct God by Changing his Word just so it appeals to personal opinions?


If people aren't comfortable with the Christian religion, why change its Doctrine?
Why not open a Cult and establish doctrines as it appeals to you??
And I'm not just referring to you, I'm referring to all and sundry in support of these sacrilegious notions.

It is not appropriate to refer to God using the pronoun "it." God is not an object or a thing, and He should be referred to as He or Him as stated CLEARLY in the Bible.

.
So true. Sometime I just wonder if this people have some kind mental illness. Something that is very obvious they want to complicate it. Truelly, satanists have taken over their churches and they are doing same in africa. But no matter what, Christ's church will stand.

These are the kind battery Christianity must go through because every principle in Christianity is man-made and the bible is word of man, not God. This makes it easy for weird minded people like Anglican church of England to tinker with laid down rules and precepts. In effect, the eventual complete dismantling snd deconstruction of Christianity has been launched. By the time they finish tinkering with the religion, they will end up asking themselves: what exactly are we worshipping? They will not be able to recognise christianity anymore.

Their madness is now beyond repair. I will not be suprise if Africa follows their pattern. Satan will always place his men/women in top positions in churches before he takes over. To every Christian know this: Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. Put your trust on Christ alone, not your pastor. Hebrews 12:2.

Is Christ male or female Is Holy spirit male or female? Are Engels male or female?

Out of the whole world, God choose Isreal. But how many times did Isreal commit sins worse than those of other nations? So that they brought us christianity doesnt mean that they can't fall away. That you convert souls to Christ does not mean you can't fall away 2morrow if you're not careful.

As it was in days of Noah and Lot, so it is right now.
I weep for our Generation....
I weep for the ungodly and reprobates of this generation.
I weep for Humanity!

If we only we understood the times and Seasons that we are in..
If only we understood the Destruction, calamity and Disaster that is about to sweep this our generation .

My admonishment to those who want to Hear is to COME OUT From among them and be separate.
Make your ways right with JESUS CHRIST.

Do not Directly or indirectly support or advance this Wickedness and abominations sweeping through the earth.

Live ready! Live in tge conciousness of your Eternity.

The Coming of JESUS Christ is Imminent! WATCH and PRAY so that you will be counted Worthy to Escape what is coming on this Earth

I will like to emphasize "Do not Directly or indirectly support or advance this Wickedness and abominations sweeping through the earth. "

The elites are really trying hard to silence and mock christianity. A lot of people don't even seem to notice all these stuffs that they show us in plain sight.

Just like that Sam Smith Grammy awards performance, till today some people don't seem to see it as dem.o.nic and will still attend, stream or worship him.

And for the people that still don't believe Jesus is real and is coming back. Ask yourself, if Jesus is not real why do the elites go extra miles to mock him? Music, movies, interviews.. name them, they all mock God and christians.

I think y'all need to use your TikTok very effectively instead of using it to watch irrelevant Nigerian girls videos, TikTok seems to be the only app that doesn't really take down all those videos exposing every one of the elites unlike YouTube, Facebook and co.

We all have to open our eyes and call a spade a spade, these are truly the end times.

The matrix looses it's power when you:

1. Think critically.

2. Avoid the news (they own must of the famous media) so they feed you with what they want you to know and hide the actual truth from you.

(Type "blackrock and vanguard conspiracy theories"wink on TikTok you'll see what I'm telling you.

And As you see the videos, keep following the pages that post them so TikTok algorithm will start suggesting pages on your (FYP) that post about videos that exposes the elites in every industry.

3. Follow your intuition.

4. Speak your truth.

5. Give energy consciously.

6. See beyond the division.

7. Go inward.

Every page of this thread is evidence of the nature and order of current African insanity. Intellectually and culturally, we have ceased to exist and we proudly defend our non-existence. Right now I just feel like starting up a church and draining every last coin from our brain-dead continent into a Swiss bank account.

The slaves will be along soon to support their pastorly masters but I have seen more than enough. I'm done. Over and out. Goodbye Africa.

The problem is, you don't even KNOW what you don't know.
And as Nigerian man go talk: "Wetin you no know pass you!!"

The Church of England DID NOT author the Bible. They did not write the Bible used by Christians.
In fact, The first complete Bible was produced in the 4th century AD.The King James Version of the Bible was commissioned in 1604, and was completed and published in 1611.

The Church of England, however, was not established until 1534, when King Henry VIII declared himself the Head of the Church of England to break away from the authority of the Pope.

The Bible Predates the so-called "Church of England."

So they have NO RIGHT to make any changes whatsoever in the Bible.

And to your second-to-last Paragraph, Where and in What context can you refer to a being as "FATHER", and that being doesn't signify a MAN?!!!

God should be referred to as "They"?

Why "they"? Why not SHE? Why not IT? Or something else

If you've always seen it misogyny, how about we Refer to "Mary the mother of Jesus" as "Him/He" so it doesn't come off as misandry

African Anglicans have been regularly breaking ranks with the Church of England and the western Anglicans. Did you not see a recent viral video of Nigerian Anglicans in the US chasing away a gay priest
.
They did right. But one thing you have to know is that their agenda is a gradual process. If this generation of Africans reject LGTBQ, there is no guarantee that the next generation will do same. Nigerians who support LGTBQ is growing daily. You will see them on NL.

All these immoral celebrities shud not be underestimated. They will destroy future generations. If nothing is done, Africa will fall. Dont forget that there was a time LGTBQ was wierd to whites. Just as immodest dresses was once wierd to Africans. But 2day they wear it even to church. Dont underestimate them. Pray and preach against evil.
