Should We Call God Mother?

On today’s program, we discuss whether Christians should set aside masculine names for God in favor of feminine or gender neutral names. Feminist theologians have been arguing for years that calling God “Father” and “Son” depicts the godhead as an oppressive and abusive patriarchy. For that reason, they argue, we should address God with feminine names or perhaps even gender neutral names. So instead of “Father” and “Son,” we might name God as “Mother” and “child.” Or instead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we should refer to him as “Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.” Should Christians set aside masculine names for God in favor of feminine or gender neutral names?

CBMW Gender & Sexuality Curriculum Male and Female He Created Them: A Study on Gender, Sexuality, & Marriage, by Denny Burk, Colin Smothers, & David Closson

This new curriculum is aimed at Christians who are facing challenging questions with the rise of LGBT ideology on topics like homosexuality, transgenderism, gender dysphoria, intersex conditions, preferred pronouns, and more. The study is broken down into eight chapters that guide readers through the Bible’s teaching on gender, sexuality, and marriage. Male & Female He Created Them gives Christians with a biblical foundation that starts in Genesis 1 and 2 with God’s good design in making mankind male and female in His image.
