I always thought they were He/His. Oh well, now we know. And here's some social media back up from the inclusively shrinking ACOC (Anglican Church of Canada).
The excellent Anglican Samizdat exclaims, "Antediluvian throwbacks like me who have always thought of the Holy Spirit as 'He' had no idea that the third person of the Trinity had undergone a gender transition." Yes indeed, but will there be a special baptismal rite for the pneumatic sex-change? Perhaps in England.
In related news, have you noticed how the aggressive chevrons on the LGTBQ++ flag are eating up the original rainbow? Like some kind of... takeover.
In the meanwhile, the same people who gaily fly this flag are championing all out war with ORCFORCE. Vicious rumors that trans refugees attempting to flee the Ukraine have been turned around and sent to Ost Front are entirely that, vicious rumors.
Over the Rainbow,
LSP
"Are they them" should have a question mark at the end, oughten it?
ReplyDeleteAs I recently posted on Falsebook, let's give the Biden Abomination due credit for giving the LGBTBQ++etc folk the opportunity to show they can be as inept in high office and positions of authority as straight people.
ReplyDeleteAnother church grasping at anything to stay afloat...except Truth.

Wild, you're right.
ReplyDeleteLike "oughten" btw, all very Chaucer.
Right on, Mr. WSF.
ReplyDeleteDOS, Niebuhr had his moments. What's your take on Merton?
ReplyDeleteLast time I read the Bible God is referred to as I and He and His. And something about putting him over pantheons of false gods.
ReplyDeleteThat 'religion' that says they/them is, as Kathy Bates says in "The Waterboy" "The Debil."
Have not read any Merton yet. Went through Robert Royal's Divine Comedy series last year, so The Seven Storey Mountain would be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteYou know the refrain, Beans, Out Demons Out.
ReplyDeleteAs in, no kidding.
I'm kind of with you, DOS, though I've read some Merton and liked it, against expectations. SSM seems like a good call. I'll go at it and we can compare notes.
