Father's Reason

1 It's sad, the fad, to genderize Our Maker: Amazons aside, History made men Movers, Shakers But is it dad's fault, the sin of God? 2. I will trust the Jesus account; He showed "Abba" The Father whom He enjoyed communion with! But before Jesus, Jews whispered YHWH 3. Don't take it for granted; Matthew 6: Jesus's prayer "Our Father in Heaven," not Mine alone, the Saviour Wants equality and "siblings." Please read John 15 NOTE: Before Jesus walked this Earth and taught, Judaism taught God's name was so sacred, one could use only THE TETRAGRAMMATON or the 4 letters YHWH, to designate Him. Jesus called God not majestic judge Jehovah, but ABBA, or "daddy" in Hebrew and left us The Lord's prayer, beginning "Our Father."

Always is there a father's reason and always is there reason of father (smile and true). Leave it to you Anil to pen these words and thoughts. Hello Anil.

I always believed that God, if represented as any gender, would more likely be a woman and referred to as "She" rather than "He". If humans are made in God's image, then God is feminine, since the basic model of the human being is the female, not the male. And why did God not also have a daughter? Your poem is thoughtful and provocative. Well done.
