I do not know how we can seperate the persons of God from Jesus Penis. If the three are the same person the spirit part of God can't have anything Jesus does not have.(Luke 24:39)

The Jews only viewed God as Father. They had no idea it was only appropriate to call the first person of God Father.

Actually, this topic was triggered by Will Schryver's gloating about God having a penis, and offering an illustration of said penis. He was probably inspired by Kerry, who discusses this with the most enthusiasm.

How do you figure that Luke 24:39 supports that position, Dale?

Since Kimberly isn't speaking to me, would someone else ask her if she, in her new-found Methodists faith, believes the mortal Christ to have been God, and if so, whether she (and her fellow Methodists) believes the mortal Christ to have been male (in every respect of the word) or not?

KA I'm sure will answer, as well.

Yet, here is what I gathered (I sooo wish I'd paid attention). Christ was human and he was male. Yes! No doubt. Yet, God in heaven is NOT male as in a human being. Neither is the Holy Ghost. There are no bodies like there are on earth in Heaven -- and Heaven is where God resides. God hasn't even a body! When people die and go to heaven there are no "bodies" as on earth and there is no need for anatomy... why would we need our reproductive organs in heaven? We don't if there is no sex. We don't go to heaven with bodies -- our souls go to heaven and our souls are bodiless.

God is neither male or female -- he is GOD! Not tied to our earthly senses of gender.

This answers my second question (which I appreciate), but not my first question (i.e. do you believe "the mortal Christ to have been God?"). The rest of your response, while interesting, was not pertinent.

For as many decades as the LDS temple ceremony mocked mainstream Xtianity's conception of a bodiless God, you'd think its members would have gotten a little clue about what mainstreams believe.

Oh? I didn't know they mocked the mainstream thought in the temple ceremony.... how do they do that?

Wade, Christ was God, God was Christ, God is the Holy Ghost, as well. Yet, God in heaven does not have an earthly body and he has NO gender!

I'm not going to try to make sense of it for you, since it makes NO sense to me -- yet, I'm explaining the thoughts on it. God is genderless and has no body!
