Can we ever overcome perhaps 10,000 years of training in the maleness of God?

Question

"The gospels reflect the patriarchal prejudice of the first century Jewish world in which they were created. Even the Ten Commandments assume that women are the property of men (thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his ox). Polygamy is present in the Bible because women were defined as property hence the richer the man was, the more wives he could possess, as well as more sheep and cattle...One reason for the slow pace is that both fundamentalist Protestant churches and Roman Catholic churches spend enormous energy opposing these changes. Those efforts will fail, but they do keep us from moving as rapidly as we might otherwise move. It is also one more sign of both the irrelevance and even the death of institutional religion, which always seems to be on the wrong side of history." Bishop Strong

Answer 1

We can only overcome this ingrained fallacy one person at a time. We're getting there.

What we need to do is forget about this man is from Mars, women are from Venus mentality and realize that man and woman are one and come from the same source, all life is connected. Positive.

Answer 3

Man you know how to bring out the fanatics no disrespect to hedgewitch and yogi master

Answer 4

What we need is a clearer understanding of God's "maleness". Making him out to be feminine isnt the answer. Jesus refered to Him as his father, not his mother.
