Take It On Faith

“And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.” Luke 2:21 God, the Father and Son are male, known in His Word of that gender. Take it on faith, He will prevail: God, the Father and Son are male; Jesus was circumcised. We hail and reverence Him in “splendor." God, the Father and Son are male, known in His Word of that gender.

I thank you Sally for your interaction with my piece. While I tend to take the Bible quite literally - I am open to other opinions. There are other genres besides the poetry of the Psalms, Proverbs and Song of Solomon. I love your comment about Satan never being called a she! I am reminded that Mary's Immaculate Conception was accomplished by the Holy Spirit. We have a Catholic Church/School in my hometown in KY by that name - the Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception.
