SPIRITUAL
REPRODUCTION
AND THE GENDER OF GOD By Edgar Jones
Introduction God, our Father, is spirit, and spiritual reproduction is the
process by which he reproduces his spiritual children. We are
here to investigate that process, and to seek to understand it in terms
of the utterances of Jesus of Nazareth, who is our Lord and Master, and
our Truth. About three years ago I wrote and posted a
paper on this site entitled The
Gender of God. Within that paper I defined nine
points of the "human reproductive pattern" and applied these same
points to a "spiritual reproductive pattern," stating that each point
in the natural process corresponds to a similar point in the spiritual
process. My motive for writing was to expose the growing feminist
practice of applying feminine pronouns to God. The motive was
good, but the method was flawed. I erred in making natural human
reproduction in all its points a metaphor of the spiritual. Correcting the error, I revised this paper and published it to a different file. You can find it here, http://www.voiceofjesus.org/nogender.html where
you see the radical change that comes to pass when one realizes that
Jesus does not teach anything about being born again, but it is all
about being begotten from above. |
