Correction....
Brent Thomas posted this on my last blog entry in the comment section:
Jesus was/is a daughter?
I am assuming that is in reference to this comment that I made.
And to be completely honest, I could live with people saying Mother, Daughter and Holy Spirit, as I have friends in ministry who do that.
Correction on my part. I do not think Jesus was or is a daughter.
That is theological laziness on my part. I was more or less just saying that I can live with others attributing feminine attributes to the Godhead....though historically we know Jesus was and is a man.
I guess also that I was making a semi-flip comment about this whole discussion on the Trinity. Not because theological distinction isn't important, but because the whole discussion seems way out of touch with most people. Meaning, most pastors, directors, lay people are going about the task of ministry while others continue to split hairs over little things. Not that important theological truths haven't come to light from splitting hairs, but I am trying to go about other things in the ministry that I oversee rather than getting in huge discussions with my students over the Trinity.
While the PCUSA continues to split hairs over this, I am going to continue to do the task of ministry and hopefully impact the student's lives that I come into contact with.
