Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest

Just when I think I've seen it all:

At some Presbyterian churches the Holy Trinity - "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" - will be out. "Mother, Child and Womb" is in.

"Mother, Child, and Womb?" Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous in your life?? Here are some other choices being bandied about by the powers that be in the Episcopal Church:

Besides "Mother, Child and Womb" and "Rock, Redeemer, Friend," options include:
• "Lover, Beloved, Love"
• "Creator, Savior, Sanctifier"
• "King of Glory, Prince of Peace, Spirit of Love"

Here's a thought...why not stick to what the Bible says?

JASmius can't resist adding: Don't underestimate the entertainment value, though, Jen. Think of the Scripture passages where the word "spirit" is used and substitute the word "womb".

"Earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Womb of God was moving over the surface of the waters." - Would that mean the waters were about to break?

"Now in the morning his womb was troubled, so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh." Was Pharaoh having cramps? Were his dreams wet ones?

"When they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the womb of their father Jacob revived." I don't even want to touch that one.

"'Now a man or a woman who is a medium or a wombist shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.'" Wow, Las Vegas would be shut down overnight under this regime.

"Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Womb who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Womb rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again." One potato, two potato, three potato, four - but seventy? Gosh, but that's a big Womb. Did it come with a view?

There are five hundred ninety-eight uses of the word "Spirit" in the New American Standard Bible. And I'll mangle each and every last one of them unless the Presbyterian Church pulls their collective head out of their collective womb and jettisons this feminist foolishness.

Nah, on second thought, they're obviously not capable of embarrassment if they can push this nonsense. But after worshipping for real on Sunday mornings, if my family and I need a good laugh, I guess we now know where to go.

Gonna be a good day, tater....
