Troubble is,
Religions CHANGE wording to suit the most common interpretation, you know to avoid confusion.
GEN, 1.27 (in my dads bible, "mormon accepted")
In his own image, created he him male, and female created he them.
Oh my raging, I was upset and my dad, was like what did you exspect to find. I said I wasnt exspecting to find more proof that Man chooses their own interpretations and rewords things, to enforce their own opinions onto others.
I did have a bit of a win, when I thought to read the vers beforehand, to posably offer some context.
Gen 1.26
(began, with.)
And god said, let US make man In our image.......
Without looking, my dad was like, how can it be OUR image when he is but one. Thats what It says I told him, I was obviously reading it wrong. He changed his mind after reading it for himself.
So I had my dad on board, A little. I though ok, Lets look to see if GAL 3:28 was any different.
He looked through his book, couldnt find it, my dad had no idea what GAL reffered to, and neither did I.
He started asking where I got my information from, I said it doesnt matter, Ofcourse it matters he said. I said why. Because You cant just go by what you find on the internet. I said, Im not going by what I read ther am I? HE SAID yes you are.
So I pointed AT his bible, I said is that The internet? No. i Then said, am I refferencing that? YES, is it going to be parts of that book I show you, WELL yes. So Im not going by the internet Am I?
Needless to say It took ages for me to find that refference because, I needed to Know that, GAL stood for Galatians. And even then HE had never heard of it. SO after I rffused to give up looking for GALATIANS, He went to calm down, by ordering us both take out, I found it.
And this verse was the same, word for word.
So I read it, and he goes ofcourse their is JEWS, and GREEKS and man and woman. SO you disagree with the book?
It says we are all one,
NONE of that matters dad. Its saying that those kinds of things are irelavant. We are all the same.
Read it for yourself.
I dont know how angry I would OF gotten had that book not been in my dads bible at all.
EDITING AGAIN:
So One of the tings I spoke to my dad about when i Came out was.
If god is the beginging and the and. IS it not possible god be both male and female, both and neither, the one and the many?
Its nice to have read,
god reffer to them selves as "US" and "OUR"
Exspecially since, in pray the energy the help me come out was due to a newly found concept that the soul was gender free. and that the soul was the image of god not the temporal bonds.
