Mother_Child_Womb?

By Wendell Tenison

  • The top news story in the media of 6-20-06, was without a doubt the delegates of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), voting to "receive" a policy paper on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity. "The divine Trinity -- 'Father, Son and Holy Spirit' -- could also be known as 'Mother, Child and Womb' or 'Rock, Redeemer, Friend' at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly."

    Rev 2:8-9 "And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;.....I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

    These blasphemers were Gentiles claiming to be Jews, but were not members of the Lord's church. Posing as Jews gave them an advantage to persecute the Church of Christ, seeing that the Jews hated Christians more than the Gentiles. The preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead presented a grave problem for the followers of the great goddess Diana whom all Asia worshipped.

    Not much has changed in 2000 years. There are those today who say they are Christians and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan. Should it come as any surprise that many of these modern day blasphemers are little more than goddess worshipping wolves in sheep's clothing?

    As foretold by Paul (2 Th 2:1-4; 1 Tim 4:1-7; 2 Tim 4:3-4), the church of Christ established by our Lord in 33 A.D. would eventually degenerate to the point of incorporating godless myths and fables into the worship service. The transformation of the pure church of Christ into the apostate Roman Catholic Church was pretty much complete by 608 A.D., when the first pope was appointed. Centuries of corruption eventually culminated in the protestant reformation, during which several new religions were born. One of these was the Presbyterian Church, founded in 1650 A.D. by John Knox in Scotland.

    One of the most spiteful of the godless myths adopted by the early Roman church was their elevation of Mary to the level of a deity who is to be adored, revered, prayed to, and worshipped. This heresy, adopted circa 400 A.D., brought the church in line with the various goddess-worshipping pagan religions of the day. Goddess worship itself dates back to the ancient fertility religions in which the female reproductive power was worshipped as a means of insuring that the earth would bring forth "her" produce to save man from death by physical starvation. The great goddess goes by various names, including Mother Nature, Mother Earth, Ashtoreth (Judg 2:13; 1 Ki 11:5), Queen of Heaven (Jer 44:17-25), and most recently Mary, Mother of God who brought forth her produce (Jesus) to save man from spiritual starvation.

    In 1650, the Presbyterians rightly rejected the goddess worship of the Catholics, but have come full circle in 2006, even going far beyond the heresy of the Catholics. No, they did not bring back Mary worship, which wasn't needed and would never have been accepted. Instead, they went straight for the jugular, giving the male gender Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, a complete feminine makeover.

  • During the 217th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at Birmingham, Al., Monday, 6-19-06, the delegates made it clear that they were very eager to bring the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to the level of the weaker sex.

    1 Pet 3:7 "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered."

    Gen 3:15 "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

    To further emphasize the feminist dogma of the Presbyterian Church, it was also stated at the Birmingham, Al., national assembly, "One reason that the language limited to the Father and Son has been used to support the idea that God is male and that men are superior to women, the panel said."

    Our Lord said, if you love me keep my commandments, Jn.14:15; 14:21; 15:10. Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not the things which I say, Lk.6:46?

    Question: are the commandments of the Lord kept by this society? Let us find out.

    1 Cor 14:34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

    1 Tim 2:11-14 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection......But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence......For Adam was first formed, then Eve......And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."

    Answer: the commandments of the Annointed One are not kept; the bottom line is that this society does not and cannot love the Lord Jesus as long as they rebel against his holy word. There is safety in numbers, therefore, since everyone is doing it, there is nothing wrong with it. Well then, who do they love? You figure it out.

  • My good friend Vernon Gruver has always said that you cannot teach dumb. That is, those who refuse to hear, because the god of this world has blinded their minds lest the glorious gospel of Christ should shine unto them, 2Cor.4:4.

  • Again at the Birmingham, Al., national assembly it was stated that, "A panel that worked on the issue since 2000 said the classical language for the Trinity should still be used, but added that Presbyterians also should seek "fresh ways to speak of the mystery of the triune God to expand the church's vocabulary of praise and wonder."

    The bare truth of those comments is to change the truth of God into a lie by changing the names and descriptions of the Trinity into something other than what the inspiration of God says they are.

    The Ledger-Enquirer.com, published an article on 6-20-06 titled, "Presbyterians consider gay pastors, gender-inclusive Trinity." According to the article, "Leaders of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. will vote today on a proposal to give congregations and regional presbyteries some leeway on ordaining gay and lesbian pastors. The proposal would keep the church ban in place while effectively suspending its enforcement."

    Rom 1:24-27 "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:.....Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen......For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:.....And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet."

  • The primary issue of the debates regarding the gender in Trinity, is the gender-inclusive language. The "Father" now becomes the "Mother"; the "Son" now becomes the "Child"; the "Holy Spirit" now becomes the "Womb."

  • Father:

    Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary renders the word "father" as:

    1. He who begets a child

    The meaning has not changed unto this day nor will it ever. If intelligent people call a horse a cow, we would wonder as to their state of intelligence.

    The word "father" is found 352 times in 311 verses in the new testament. The word "mother" is found 86 times in 78 verses of the new testament. It just happens to be that none of them are synonymous with each other. Our Heavenly Father is both the father of all mankind as well as those whom he spiritually begets into the kingdom of his Christ.

    Ezek 20:39 "As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols."

    The same can be said today in the new testament era. As if God would say to those who would change his identity from male to female, go ahead and worship your ownselves and be damned, but pollute my holy name no more.

    Psa 74:10 "O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?"

    The enemies of God have always blasphemed his holy name and they will continue as long as the earth exists.

    Heb 12:9 "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"

    Those who hate the word "Father" will not live eternally because of their rebellion to him. Every woman who hates the Father for being masculine would not be here except by the grace of a male.

    John 17:1 "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:"

    How could anyone in their right mind belittle their creator and lead thousands to fall into the pit? But, they are doing just that.

  • Son:

    The Presbyterian church has reduced the Son of God who was the creator of heaven and earth, to the status of a child who is totally dependent upon all others for its defenseless survival and is at the mercy of those who care for it.

    John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God......The same was in the beginning with God......All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

    The Logos, the essential Word of God has all life, all wisdom, all knowlege, all thought and all power within himself. God having begotten his Son both to the hypostatic (personal) Logos and to the image of himself by whom he (the Son) created all things. The Logos who took on the form of human flesh would present himself as the Christ. By the creation of man, the Logos transfused the image of God and his characteristics into the body both physical and ethical. The Logos (Christ), his word and his body (the church) are within himself, so it is that he and his word are within the church (his body) as the Godhead. Simply by the word of his mouth or by taking thought, the Logos (the Word or Christ) can at anytime accomplish anything he so desires. By faith we believe that the worlds were framed by the word of God, Heb.11:3. By the word of God the heavens and earth are reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men, 2Pet.3:7. The mystery of God Almighty the Father from the begining of the world had been hidden in Him who created all things by Jesus Christ, Eph.3:9.

    Mat 6:27 "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"

    The Roman centurion had an extraordinary perception of the massive powers posessed by the Christ (Logos), in that he knew that all Jesus had to do was to speak the word and his servant would be healed.

    Mat 8:5-10 "And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,.....And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented......And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.".....The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed......For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.....When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."

    Heb 1:8 "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."

    The Father has given the Son the status of God and King to sit at his right hand.

    1 Tim 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

    Col 2:9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

    1 Tim 6:15 "Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;"

    As stated from the delegates in their national assembly, Birmingham, Al., "that Presbyterians also should seek fresh ways to speak of the mystery of the Triune God." If they truly want to speak of the mystery of the Triune God, let them quote these verses over and over at every service they have. The Son of God is the Godhead bodily, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, our High Priest and was God in the flesh.

    Isa 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

    The Lord Jesus the Christ could not be awarded these accolades of the Father unless he was the only obedient begotten Son of the Father. But now, the Presbyterian church has stripped him of all his glory and virtue that the Father has bestowed upon him and reduced him to no more than a dependent child. In other words, these arrogant proclaimers of their own self-styled worship, have vaunted themselves on equality with God and worship the creature more than the creator.

    Col 2:21-23 "(Touch not; taste not; handle not;.....Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?.....Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."

  • Holy Spirit:

    The womb is feminine and for sure no man has ever had one. If God is feminine as they say, then his Son and Spirit are also. Let us see what the Spirit of God is.

  • Spirit of Holiness:

    Rom 1:4 "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:"

  • Spirit of Truth:

    John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."

    John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"

  • Spirit of the Lord:

    Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"

  • Spirit of Life:

    Rom 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

  • Spirit of God:

    Rom 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."

  • Spirit of Grace:

    Heb 10:29 "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"

  • Spirit of Promise:

    Eph 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"

    There is no question that the Presbyterian church has reference to the physical womb when they change the characteristics of the Spirit of God from divine to earthly. The Holy Spirit of God is not the womb, but makes all who are in it.

    Psa 104:29-30 "Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust......Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth."

    Job 33:4 "The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life."

    1 Cor 12:13 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."

    The Holy Spirit of God creates all life physically in the womb of the woman and all life spiritually in the water womb of baptism to be born again.

    John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

  • But, what about those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit?

    Mat 12:30-31 "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad......Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

    There is nothing more in this world that can be evil spoken of than to reduce the Spirit of God to something that he makes on a daily basis, the womb! We always ask the question, why do men and women pervert the word of God unto their own destruction?

    2 Th 2:10-12 "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved......And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:.....That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

  • The apostle Paul called the high priest a "whited wall", Acts 23:3, which in the Greek means a hypocrite who conceals his malice under an outward appearance of piety. It also means a white washing to the entrance to the sepulchres. Our Lord went even further to describe the Scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites.

    Mat 23:27-28 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness......Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity."

  • What would be the Lord's description of those today who without any shame declare the Son of God a female infant? Webster's 1828 Dictionary definition of "child" states that "the application of child to a female in opposition to a male, as in Shakepeare, is not legitimate." Webster's New World College Dictionary notes, "[Brit. Dial.] a female infant." It is not difficult to see by what reasoning this society implored that Jesus the Christ is a female child. Their premis stems purely from English Literature and the dialect of Englanders. Jesus said of those Jews of his day that they were rotten to the core.

  • Those who despise God do not have the courage to scold Jesus for his honest evaluation of those who wanted him dead, or for his word that exposes those who are teaching for doctrine for the commandments of men. But rather, they take great pleasure in rebuking any who follows the steps of Jesus and defend the pure and undefiled gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • In the words of the apostle Paul; "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth", Gal.4:16?
