From Faithwire,
"Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) isn’t respecting God’s preferred gender pronouns.
During a Saturday interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, Swalwell — one of the House impeachment managers for the Democrats’ second attempt to convict now-former President Donald Trump — referred to God using female pronouns.
'We could have called God herself and the Republicans weren’t going to be willing to convict [Trump],' he said. 'So we’re proud of the case we put forward.'
"...God is, of course, a spiritual being unbound by the physical attributes of His creation. So, in that sense, He is neither male nor female in that way. However, God does possess the characteristics of personhood, and He chose to reveal Himself in human form through His Son, Jesus, who is male.
While it’s undeniable God — even as we do — exhibits both feminine and masculine attributes, the Bible contains around 170 references to God as 'Father'. And Jesus always referred to God as His 'Heavenly Father'.
Swalwell’s comments come as the left is increasingly embracing the LGBT agenda to 'respect' everyone’s 'preferred pronouns,' depending on how they identify."
I believe that since Jesus taught us to pray, "Our Father", and as we have committed our souls to follow Christ, then to pray otherwise might lead others astray, like what St. Paul warns against in 1 Corinthians 8 when writing about those strong in the faith doing something that is a danger to those weak in faith.
Rep. Swalwell is from California, so he has probably been eating the food sacrificed to idols unwisely because of a weakness in faith, and he is regurgitating that poisonous stuff so that others might follow him (I guess that is his preferred gender pronoun).

I looked at an online list of religious affiliations of members of Congress. Swalwell was listed as Protestant unspecified, or something like that. That means, no real affiliation. He's just repeating what he reads in left-wing circles.
ReplyDeleteHis district is right across the bay from San Francisco so any if he had ever attended a Protestant church, no doubt that he would have been raised to refer to his god as female. Or he could just be virtue signaling.
