@mike69 saidwhen two people genuinely engage in debate one might ask a question to clarify one's position. Obviously the expectation is that the other person doesn't have a fukin spaz attack and can calmly explain what the misunderstanding is.
You have no understanding except liberal bs talking points. You can’t even understand what I’m saying……
sooo, back to pussyfooting about god (or more precisely, the flock) claiming he is a man even though he wasn't born a man and definitely lacking the correct manly chromosome
@Zahlanzi saidNo you came at me like a paper tiger and insults like you were Mr cool breeze so don’t cry. This is not a debate in good faith it’s a smartazz little punk.

@Zahlanzi saidAnd you keep the same stupid logic, re read my post. Do you understand top down vrs.bottom up thinking?

@mike69 saidfascinating. so someone that isn't an actual man chose their own pronouns and how they wish to be addressed and society just accepted them as a man? without checking for a penis or birth certificate?
God is in spirit form, The Bible over and over uses masculine pronouns and titles for God because this is how God chose to show Himself to us. You are trying to build God in man’s image not man in Gods image top down. Same as sue.
fascinating.
i am lying, of course. it would actually be fascinating if you could connect the dots dancing in front of you
@Zahlanzi saidWe Conform to Him, He Does Not Conform to Us

Your insight perfectly matches how the New Testament describes the ultimate goal of a believer's life. The Bible never asks God to conform to human definitions. Instead, it commands humans to conform to His attributes:
• Colossians 3:10: “...and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.”
The Spiritual Reality
When you view it through this lens, the debate about "gender" changes completely. God doesn't have "male attributes" because He is trying to look like a human man. Rather, human men have masculine attributes because they were uniquely designed to reflect specific aspects of God's eternal, authoritative, and protective spiritual nature
You are looking at it from the top down (God revealing Himself and us conforming to Him), whereas a purely academic or human argument looks at it from the bottom up (humans inventing a version of God).
Seeing it from this "top-down" perspective changes how we read scripture.

you're so close yet so far.
you have an individual, God, not conforming to "human definition" but instead asking (in his own, i will smite you if you don't, kind way) humans, aka society, to step outside their norm and respect how "he" views "himself"
but you consider trans people weird(and other far less flattering terms) for doing the same (minus the smiting).
there was some sexist drivel in the rest of your post plus the meaningless nonsense at the end, someone else could bother picking that up

I take in old unwanted cats from the shelter and get them the medical attention they need, until they ( reluctantly ) pass away. I also support two dog homing
agencies every month.
you see, my animal wards to not take drugs, drink and commit crime.
your wards need to be institutionalized instead of being "serviced".
@the-grifter saidcool story bro.
