Would it's mindset ,attitudes ,actions, define it? Or would The Holy Spirit be gender neutral?
Everything in the bible describes Jesus as a person who respected people for who they are. His character is obviously described as a man, identifying as a man. But, he could be expected to adopt gender-neutral pronouns, purely out of support for a subjugated group of people.
Jesus spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic. "The lack of specific feminine forms for the pronouns is also found in Biblical Aramaic, which has different forms for third person singular (hu versus hi), but not always for the plural,53 and the second person feminine singular does not exist at all (Quimron 1993: 65)."
God is described in the bible as making Adam in his image.
However, most Christians describe God as a being outside of time and space.
How and why would such a being have a human body with a dick&balls?
But you were not in Jesus's head, maybe he wanted to be female. And maybe he secretly identified as female.
It's also very much possible that he was gay, if you read the stories.

The fact is, that the first letter of his stories were written decades after he died.
It's possible that Jesus is completely fictional or based on several different people, living in that time period. There is no evidence that he ever existed, besides what's written about such a character in the bible. Different people wrote similar but different stories about the Jesus character, but it's clear that they were copying each other. There are lots of similar stories, about similar people, originating from earlier and other cultures, that are clearly mythical. There might have been some carpenter's son, walking around telling stories and performing rudimentary healthcare, that would have been miraculous in that time. Add a few decades and stories get mixed and exaggerated. Religions have been started over less. It is no evidence of anything supernatural ever happening and no reason to base your morality on the morality
of Jews from 2 millennia ago.
Before you start rambling that the next pieces are a copy-paste job; yes it is. It would be easy for you to find the source. It's called the Bible. I don't have one, but if you have one, go ahead and double check if it's in there.
The comments on Jesus' words are also not mine. You say you can use Google, so I'm sure you can find it.
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.” [Matthew 25:41-43 KJV]
Jesus says that on Judgment Day, He will look askance at people who refused to help those less fortunate than themselves. Not only that, Jesus Christ will curse them and cast them away “into everlasting fire.”
“For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” [Matthew 25:34-40 KJV]
Jesus Christ’s views on feeding, clothing, and helping people in need is unequivocal: He sees it as directly serving Him.
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” [Matthew: 11:28 KJV]
Jesus Christ sympathized with those who work day-to-day to scrape by, and preached that they would get their reward. Meanwhile, Republicans refuse to even consider raising the minimum wage to keep up with the cost of living.
“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” [Luke 12:48 KJV]
That means; If you have much, we will expect much from you.
In other words: Tax the rich!
“And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.” [Luke 11:46 KJV]
That's condemning lawmakers, for passing laws and promoting policies that make things harder for most of your fellow Americans.
“But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.” [Matthew 14:16 KJV]
Jesus Christ always wanted to feed people and extend hospitality to strangers, no matter what their circumstances. Yet, conservative, so-called “Christians” seek to cut back on food stamps and deport immigrants — or bar them from entry.
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.” [Matthew 6:5 KJV]
Conservative Christians claim to love Jesus, and seem to adore shouting their faith from atop their soap boxes any chance they get. But the real Jesus Christ scorned these showy – and often phony – displays of piety, and went out of his way to preach against them.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” [Matthew 22:37-40 KJV]
When Jesus Christ’s adoring crowds asked which of the 10 Commandments are the most important ones for them to follow, Jesus turned around and changed the rules. He said that if we first love God, and then love our neighbor, the rest would follow naturally. It’s hard to see how denying gays the right to marry and cutting anti-poverty programs follows Jesus’ teachings. Yet, our conservative “Christian” lawmakers insist this is what we should do.
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” [Matthew 19:24 KJV]
If you’ve got any doubt about how Jesus Christ would feel about income inequality, the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, or rich CEOs raking in huge profits while crusading against a long-overdue minimum wage hike, this passage makes it pretty clear that making profits at other people’s expense gives you bad karma in the Great Beyond.
“And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.” [John 2:14-16 KJV]
Unlike your Mammon-worshipping conservative Christians, Jesus Christ clearly loathes capitalism. Pretty much the only time we ever see Jesus totally lose his cool and go into an Incredible Hulk-like rage is when he returns to Jerusalem with his disciples, and finds the Temple clogged with bankers and vendors. He doesn’t just yell at them, He totally goes apeshit, wrecks their booths, and drives them out with whips He somehow manages to improvise and fashion on the spur of the moment. One can only imagine how Jesus would feel about Wall Street, the Koch brothers, and ALEC.
“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” [Matthew 9:35]
FREE HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!!
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” [John 8:7 KJV]
Unlike today’s conservative Christians, who eagerly serve in the vanguard of the GOP’s war on women, Jesus Christ has no regard for double standards that hold men and women to different rules.
“Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” [Matthew 6:26]
If the previous quotes make Jesus Christ sound mildly liberal, this one makes 'Our Savior' sound like a 'Goddamned hippie COMMUNIST'.
Before you try to flip all of the things Jesus said, think of who you are doing it for. I'm an atheist, I don't give a fuck. However, if you have some belief that you will be judged after your die, better be sure about how you are quoting, the one that you think will judge YOU.
“You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. ' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also” (Matthew 5:38-39).
Is that something you would say?
Is that something what a gun lover would say?
Or is that something a pacifist would say?
He gave food to the hungry and free healthcare to the sick.
And he kicked over the the tables of loan sharks on the temple square.
"turn the other cheek", "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Definitely a socialist and not a MAGA conservative.
It took a while for the tide to change but in the 60s the undercurrent of what is considered the prevailing culture began to shift. It took a while for the momentum to reach what it did around the turn of the century, but somewhere along the line those that use to be marginalized by the prevailing culture moved into a position where they were setting policy. For the others, who subscribe to the glorification of anything atavistic, and are nostalgic for a time when the US seemed to be in an age of innocence, the 50s, this shift met with reenforced reticence and even outright violent opposition.
This recent shift in cultural priorities during the 21st century produced contempt, especially in rural areas, for this progressive current which became a prevailing cultural force in urban areas.
However, those who glorify atavism and those for whom nostalgia worsens their feelings of abandonment by the state are not confined to rural areas. It's just the tendency of people in such areas. Urban areas condition people towards regulation which manages the impact on nature. As well as increasing exposure to multiculturalism.
I don’t care if Jesus had a pair or a slit. The man was a good man/woman, and, if we Christians, want to emulate him, that is a good thing. What we don’t need is for one group of Christians telling another group of Christians how to believe.
This question comes as close to being a “woke” question from an anti-woke member of “That” section of Christianity. 👿
1.) Mainly because they offer fellowship.
2.) People prefer certainty over accuracy, even when certainty cannot be achieved.
3.) Our childhood experiences predispose us to uncritical approval of those we see as authoritative.
4.) Most people have neither the time nor the resources to research any claim to its most fundamental source as well as all the intersecting social phenomena.
There are more reasons than this, but these are the most common.
2 people, then a entire world ,to close a relatives.
In animals this makes for weak, deformed creatures.
Who was Cain's wife in the Bible?
Awan. According to the Book of Jubilees, Awan (also Avan or Aven, from Hebrew אָוֶן aven "vice", "iniquity", "potency") was the wife and sister of Cain and the daughter of Adam and Eve.
"adj"
a state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior.
The right desperately want to change the meaning trying to push back on the fact that the right is racist and misogynistic.
There fore I can NOT for the life of me see how a state can take control of who is on a ballot for a FEDERAL position and use the so-called insurrection as a reason.

If it's the former, I have no knowledge or opinion about the organisation. But "All Lives Matter" is not an organisation, so if it is the former, the question doesn't really make sense.
If it's the latter, the saying clearly means "black lives matter as much as white lives". Does anyone here disagree with this sentiment?
Dgraff, remember, you started this.👿
then everyone would surely be happy to support it.
Here's a novel idea; implement the goals.
Why does it require endless protesting to do something?
Are the riots not just a justification for you to say 'fuck you!'?
Are the demands so outrageous?
Or is it now just stubbornness, to not 'give THEM anything'?
The Black Panthers, I think. Black clothes, different kind of 'hoods',
but also very much supporting the 2nd amendment.
