Re: The Feminine Face of GOD

I was reading this one again and very interesting. BB, your post especially was exceptional to me and had me laughing.

So then, why cannot the one God simply be the male (leave it at that) and we the people be the feminine side of God, in eternity?
The very reflection/image of God we see from the beginning through Adam and Eve. First of the earth, Last of the spirit.

Re: The Feminine Face of GOD

Because the Holy Spirit is the divine feminine, the spirit of Sophia. The wisdom of GOD that comes through the intelligence of the heart.

Which is why down the ages it has always been symbolised by a bird and usually a white dove of peace.

When we deny the divine feminine we are denying a part of ourselves and GOD for we are one.

Blessings in abundance

i love these comments if god is a woman she is one nasty chick. war, famine, disease, mutation, it all sounds like a loving mother to me.

Re: The Feminine Face of GOD

darkness is created by man not GOD

but people are learning to BE human beings

and BE humans that are kind.

Re: The Feminine Face of GOD

I've just been reading some Psalms from the Hebrew text and they were speaking of a kind, forgiving God. Admittedly, a few pages earlier, I had read a prophet who was speaking of death and destuction to the whole world and the enemies of God - or more precisely, those of the faith who transgressed.

I supose it depends which bits you read....

If we give God a gender, we are humanising and by doing that, we place God under a pedastle, rather than ourselves on one.

Well I don't think it is just for those of faith, yes humanity as the free will to choose as stated in revelations. Let us not step into fear but things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, it is our choice how bad we allow things to get before taking our power back and taking responsible action.

I see the enemies of GOD as those that are in anti-love, for GOD is love like you described above, kind, forgiving, compassionate and merciful and we should do our utmost to be the same.

As far as transgression is concerned AM said this a few years ago.

Archangel Michael said your minds, bodies and souls have been polluted because humanity has transgressed cosmic law and it is time for atonement, to reconcile with GOD and achieve redemption by surrendering your judgements so that you can accept the next stage of Ascension into your lives, it is your birthright ~ creating peace and paradise on earth.

Love beyond measure
