Woke Christianity: Archbishop of York
Brands Lord’s Prayer ‘Oppressively
Patriarchal’ for Saying ‘Our Father’

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 7/8/2023 5:37:32 PM

The woke Church of England’s latest assault on the tenets of the Christian religion is apparently the Lord’s Prayer, which the Archbishop of York has criticised for being “oppressively patriarchal” over its reference to “Our Father”. During a meeting of the General Synod, Church of England’s governing body, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell called into question the use of the Lord’s Prayer, branding the prayer offered to Christians by Jesus Christ during the Sermon on the Mount as “problematic”.

In it Jesus teaches us to invoke our Father by the term Abba -- which translates roughly to "Daddy". Yeah, real oppressive, Mr. Cottrell. Conforming ones religious beliefs to ones political affiliation is just plain gross. Lord, have mercy.

The Church of England has been a mess for years and has bled members accordingly. Back during the “Occupy” movement, the Archbishop of Canterbury allowed the filthy pigs to camp out all around St. Paul’s Cathedral in London where they defecated all over the steps and sidewalks and left piles of garbage everywhere.

This "Archbishop" must have flunked out of Christian Divinity School. Does he REALLY think our God Almighty, Creator of all things, is a human male who just happens to live on another planet? If so, perhaps he should convert to Mormonism, which also shares that belief. God uses "Language of Accommodation" in Scripture to convey Authority and Subordination, such as with Father and Son. Sorry, Arch-heretic, God has no "Gender."

Seems this Bishop wants to be cozy with "the world (1 John 2:15). I don't think things will end well for a significant number of clerics for a variety of reasons. There are many pastors who are preaching watered down scripture because they don't want to alienate their congregations, afraid to teach about sin because that would be offensive to some who might leave to find other churches that assure them that they are OK just the way they are (no one is). These pastors are not doing the job they were hired to do ~ they are actually putting their flocks on the "wide road" to hell. There are too many of satan's minions in our pulpits; evil (the left) has infiltrated the Church.

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name..." the Gold Standard of prayer because it is Christ instucting us how to pray, verbatim...."say these words." It is also important to heed the second part of that instruction, "hallowed be Thy name," because it is by using HIS NAME that we distinguish HIM from those other gods HE commands us not to have before HIM. A name is individual-specific, whereas "titles" can be generic...though HE may have many titles, e.g. "the Almighty," the "Most High," etc., HE has but one NAME, the specific designator which HE told Moses HE had not given even to Abraham, Isaac or Jacob, the Patriarchs. There are three principle contenders for Ha Shem (HIS name): Yahweh, Jehovah and Ehyeh. Because Jehovah is the Latinized version of Yahweh, that leaves only two separate names to choose from: Yahweh (He Is) and EHYEH (I AM.) Exodus 3:14 "Tell them I AM sent you. EHYEH is HIS name... "I will rescue him, I will protect him, for he acknowleges MY name," excerpt from Psalm 91.

Did you know that homeless people enjoy a constitutional right to free parking? That’s the main takeaway from a California Court of Appeals opinion issued Friday that ruled cities that tow cars with five or more unpaid parking tickets violate the 4th Amendment’s prohibition of search and seizure without a warrant. The Coalition on Homelessness sued the City and County of San Francisco seeking an injunction against towing scofflaw cars that piled up parking tickets, and the trial court had denied the petition. But the Court of Appeals reversed, because “appellant [Coalition on Homelessness] presented declarations regarding the severe impacts of vehicle tows on unhoused San Francisco residents.”

A majority of Americans - and an overwhelming number of Democrats - no longer support First Amendment protections for free speech. The government should restrict “false” information online, even if doing so blocks people from “publishing or accessing information,” 55 percent of Americans said in a large poll released Thursday. Only 42 percent disagreed. The antipathy to free speech represents a sea change in attitudes in just five years. It is driven by a powerful new hostility to First Amendment rights on the left. In an identically worded poll five years ago, Democrats and Republicans favored free speech online by roughly 3 to 2 margins. Today

When Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to be his running mate in 2020, it was perhaps the most easily predicted vice presidential choice in recent memory. Biden had made it clear that after emerging from the most diverse Democratic presidential candidate field in history, he would select a woman to join him on the ticket. The dynamics of the Democratic Party, which relies heavily on the votes of African American women to win elections, made it seem likely that Biden would select a running mate from this demographic group, especially as the murder of George Floyd brought race issues to the top of the public agenda.
