Would you worship God as a woman?

Question

I'm half christian half wiccan, and i see god as a beautiful woman and i think of her as my mother. but everytime i would talk about the Goddess, christians spat at me and said your going to hell. I kno christians are not very tolerant people and they are too afraid to learn about new people. But i wanna worship a woman, because im not a big fan of men. ( men are immature arrogant, and violent)

If you can't be christian/wiccan at the same time.

Can someone be jewish and christian, because you mother is a christian and your father is jewish

Answer 1

If you are half christian half wiccan, then you are neither. Wicca is a Neopagan religion

What communion has light with darkness?

Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: ...idolatry, sorcery... of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Answer 2

OK... Lets get too the first item, I am amazed but I have to agree with the christian. You can't be Wiccan and Christian at the same time. I would say that because Wicca has nothing to do with Christianity. It is an entirely separate religion. How could one celebrate Yule and worship the God and Goddess and then bear witness that Christ was born and was the son of god and cleansed your sins? I have met Pagans who believed in some form of sin, But certainly not the Christian one Yeah Yeah Yeah all those Christian holidays are really Pagan, but just cause you hide an Easter egg does not make you a Christian.

And Now to the Goddess, I say how could you not worship her. She is Amazing, Beautiful, and Divine. And lets face it, I would much rather worship a Woman than an ugly old man anyday.

Answer 3

How exactly would you define man or woman, in relation to a supreme being. With humans, gender is dependent on chromosonal make up, ie, if the last two pairs on each DNA strand are XY, then you're male, if they're XX you're female, a woman.

But some people have this chromosonal make up, either being men or women, but their physical bodies don't display a clear gender and you can't tell which sex they are until you do a karyotype, i.e. test their genetic make up.

Other people are born intersexed, i.e. they don't have XX or XY, but a variant such as only one Y (Turner's syndrome) or XXY (Klienfelters syndrome). This is a wholly different thing to being transsexual, which is having a definite gender but wanting to change.

So, what specifically gives us humans a gender? If it's behaviour, then gender specific behaviour varies accross cultures and over time.

If God was specifically male or female, then it would be limited by what it's not, i.e. if it's male, it couldn't be female as well, and a limitless diety is a belief of most monotheism.

But for the sake of argument, if we decide it is a woman, what is it that would make it a woman? A physical body conforming to accepted femaleness of the body? Two pairs of XX chromosones that exist somewhere? A female way of thinking... but do all women think alike, do young Japanese women think as Old South Americans? Does a brain dead or sleeping woman stop being female when she's not conscious?

I think the question makes the false assumption that gender, as an unchanging definite, exists at all even amoung humans.

Answer 4

The group of which you speak, called Wicca, originates from the Paleolithic people who worshipped a HUNTER GOD, & a FERTILITY GODDESS. Is God a male name? The short answer is "yes". So, the fact that you are not a big fan of men, means that you are not a big fan of the God they worship, along with the Fertility Goddess. The real name for Wicca, happens to be Witchcraft. The original name Witchcraft was changed to escape persecution from your other half , the "Christians". Like the Wiccas, do you believe that Satan is a Christian creation ,to scare people into believing in God so they won't go to hell ? The original name Witchcraft means " The Craft Of The Wise".
What craft ? One can only imagine. The Wiccas believe in tolerence. That's their number one thing. I just thought I'd mention that, since you have no tolerence for us men, who are immature, arrogant and violent.
You say you are half Christian and half Wiccan. That is only a pipe dream. You can't live with one foot in each world, the Kingdom of God, and the World Of Darkness, which is where Wiccan beliefs get their roots. I'm just trying to tell you the truth in love. You sound like a good person, or you would not have posted this question. I really think you wanted someone to have the nerve to tell you that God the Father loves you, and wants you to come to Him, on your own, not from fear . I have discovered that loving those who use you wrongly works out good in more cases than not. Please forgive me if I have offended you, because I really care about you and what happens to you. God Bless You !

Answer 5

God created Adam is his own image. God is called Father not Mother. Also, just because someones mother is Christian and Father is Jewish does not make the child either. In order to be a Christian, you must ask Jesus to save you, to come into your heart and you must repent of your sins. A person is not a Christian just because the parents are. About being a witch of any sort, it is wrong. The Bible says suffer not a witch to live. That is pretty clear. Wicca believes they are good witches that do good and it is not wrong but they are fooled by the demonic spirit world into believing this. Please read the Bible and pray.

Answer 6

1. I don't worship God as man or a woman. To me God has qualities of both male and female.

2. I don't feel that a person can be both Jewish or Christian. A person can engage in Jewish practices and Christian practices. Maybe they enjoy both Christian and Jewish practices. Maybe they engage in both out of love/respect/honor of relatives or friends who practice one of the two religions. That's fine. But....a person can't be both. They can't be both because the two religions have major differences in their beliefs and practices. Beliefs and practices conflict and don't allow certain things. For example....Jesus. Jews acknowledge that Jesus was a great teacher and man, but that's it. He wasn't the messiah or our lord and savior. Jews can't worship Jesus the same way that Christians do. It's against the rules. It's pointless or a sin or something to do so.

3.) I don't know much about Wicca. I don't know who Wiccans worship. I don't know if it's about seasons or Gods or what exactly. So I don't know if you can be both Wiccan and Christian.

Answer 7

God is beyond human categories like man and woman. If you choose to worship God as a woman, that is fine, because God is neither. People worshipped many Goddesses before the era of Christ. This was hard to abolish so the Catholics raised Mary to an almost divine level. Many people pray to her today. P.S. If Christians spit at you and tell you that you are going to hell they are not Christians. P.P.S. I am a man.

Answer 8

Oh, Romani, you sweetie, you.
No, I wouldnot worship God as a woman, or as a man, for that matter. I have never understood why people think God has to have a gender...gender didn't even exist before God created it. God is not going to "reproduce", there is nothing for God to "mate with"....God is unique. According to Jesus (who ought to know, don't you think?) God is a spirit, and must be worshipped in spirit and in t ruth.
While we are on the subject, Hun, men are not immature, arrogant, or violent. You are describing boys who have not grown up. Yes, I know, for some of them there is no hope...but have you considered that people of the female persuasion can seem shallow, self-absorbed, and spoiled? Hopefully, these girls will also mature and become women one day, but in the meantime, think of the pain they cause for the people who must deal with them daily.

Answer 9

Putting aside for a moment your generalisation about the less-fair sex, I see absolutely nothing wrong with imagining God as a woman. The image of God as a nurturing mother has a very long history in the Christian tradition, where the place of Mary, the mother of God, has sometimes assumed this role. Other Christians focus on the life-giving Holy Spirit, which is gramatically feminine in Hebrew.

Answer 10

Well, I would like to begin by saying that there is no such thing as a "Half-Christian": you're either fully one or not. And no, I wouldn't worship God as a woman because if God was a female, He (or in your case, She) would be called Goddess, instead of God.

Answer 11

And women are apparently sexist...although to be fair, not any more so than the Christian God
I don't think there's any God out there that should be worshipped. If anything, we can toss out some thanks, but as for actual worship, I don't understand how something all-powerful would want us to worship it. It already has everything, why does it need our worship?
If I knew that God was a woman, and I knew God existed at all and wanted our worship or we'd suffer, then yeah, I'd worship a woman.
The only problems is that I'll never "know" exactly...but my actual answer is Yes, I would (but only if I knew)
