"We cannot stand up for equality on one hand and keep calling God he/him/his"

That is what Evangelical Lutheran Church in America pastor Julie Hutson had to say:

God is not gendered....please pay attention to your language on social media @ELCA! We cannot stand up for equality on one hand and keep calling God he/him/his.

Jesus has some words for you, ELCA:
"It is my Father who glorifies Me...But you have not known Him. I know Him. If I were to say that I do not know Him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know Him and I keep His word."

The ELCA has only one god and master: the world.

“The church of woke makes everyone a god by affirming anything and everything that anyone believes in if it feels good and ‘doesn’t harm’ others. That’s everyone who agrees with them, of course.”

Not only should we continue to use He/Him/His, but God’s pronouns should be always be capitalized. As far as I am aware, all KJV, NKJV, ESV, and even NIV editions capitalize all pronouns related to God, no matter what person of the Trinity we refer to. I have a German background, and we already capitalize almost all nouns anyway.

This feminist will have a hard time explaining away all the times Jesus said ‘My Father’. So is she now doubting Jesus’s words? You cannot be Christian and doubt the words of Christ. I know there are some dishonest “scholarly” types who would try to find loopholes with that, but it is inescapable. God is referred to as the Father, and Jesus was the Son and was fully man and fully divine. And the Holy Spirit is also ascribed masculine pronouns in the New Testament, as far as I can tell from the Greek.

There have been exactly ZERO times in scripture where God manifests Himself as a woman. His spirit was manifested through the burning bush to Moses, but a bush is genderless. Jesus was a man and the Holy Spirit manifested as a dove (with no gender given to the bird). So where exactly do feminists see any alleged “divine feminine” in the Bible? I think they dream it up in their heads.

Of the four Bible versions you mentioned, only the New King James Version capitalizes pronouns referring to God.

"...We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand." (Deuteronomy 6:21)

"He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms...." (Isaiah 23:11)

"In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also." (Psalm 95:4)

By Julie Hutson's reasoning, we must deplore these Bible verses because God (who is incorporeal) doesn't literally have hands.

If I remember correctly from high-school Spanish class, the Spanish language arbitrarily assigns a gender (masculine or feminine) to every inanimate object, be it a book, a chair, a table, or whatever.

Presumably, Spanish-speaking persons do not waste their time pondering why, for example, the word "mesa" (table) should be of feminine gender, when in reality a table is neither male nor female.

"Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy." (Psalm 99:3)

The ELCA is coaching people to use a contrived, unnatural bad grammar when talking about God. That in itself strikes me as sinister.

"If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name--the Lord your God--the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants...." (Deuteronomy 28:58-59)
