March 9th, 2012 was National Women's Day.
In church life we have done what society has done that is relegate women to a behind the scene roles. God is neither male or female so all their (the multiplicity of God evident in the created multiplicity of the mind and of all creation multiplying thru the equal intersection of male and female. HInt: all things and all people are created with equity and equality.
At Yeshiva University I learned to pray in the Name of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the God of Sara, Rebecca, and Rachel and Leah.
In Biblical Studies I have learned that Jesus while calling twelve men to be his disciples he empowered 20 women to be illustrations of true spirituality. Eight additional men surface in the New Testament making it a 20-20 tie.
God created them in God's own image, male and female created God them.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
