Aaron, thanks for hosting the conversation. You are right that so often we are asking the wrong questions, or we simply fail to ask questions at all. The Gospels testify that Jesus asked some 387 questions. He only answered three (or possibly eight). Either way, even though Jesus knew the answers, he was still keen on asking people questions. He recognized that a question can often move us closer to God than an answer. Dr. Stephen Brandle reminded me of this principle on Thursday as we were discussing a Christian artist who was recently interviewed on the ethics of gay sexual activity. Dr. Brandle suggested that the artist could have responded by pointing to a more important question, namely, “Does God exist?” If God exists, this changes everything. If God does not exist, than as Nietzsche wisely points out, “anything is permissible.”
Wow! So excited about these discussion. I do not have a lot to say but I know I have a lot of listening to do!
I love this idea and set up! Thanks, Aaron, for getting this going!
As I was thinking about God as a mother and father figure, I started to think of them as the same. For me, both are loving, protective providers, but I recognize that not everyone grew up with the wonderful parents I have. I think you could argue God being a mother figure because He gave life to us, he created us, like mothers give birth. Based on the rational that God is both mother and father figure, I would say that gender would not exist in heaven, and there would just be universal, unconditional love.

In all the times I’ve pictured God, I’ve pictured him as a man or as a father. I think I picture him as a man because we use the word father and in books about God for children there’s always a man depicted. I also picture him as a man I think because I think very strong and mighty figure Or something like lighting (not that women can’t be strong and mighty). However, I also picture him very calm, loving, and gentle, all of which in our society may be seen as more feminine. Even still I picture him as a male or more as a father. However, I’m not opposed to seeing him as a mother or as female.
I think God just wants to be a parent figure for us to guide and love us. And however we picture God is okay for now until one day when we really do see him
