Thank you! I was praying to hear God's voice for years! I heard a thunder echo voice that woke me from a deep sleep who said "I am your Father El SHADDAI" I fell off the bed on to my knees and was humbled and purified by fire.. Thank you for your teachings as it's so helpful. Shalom 🕊️
Similar very very similar the other day I asked God what is his real name the other day with everything being so confusing in 2024 and few moments ago I heard very loudly in my heart El shaddai is the name of God
Wow ! When I visited Israel I bought a souvenir ….hand made metal pendent which has imprinted El Shadai ,my fav hymn … 4 months after on a 2 lane country road ,a sunny 10 AM ,a red pick up truck came at us 80 miles per hr and totaled our new mini van ,the seat belt cut my breast in half and bent my El Shadai in half too , after weeks of treatment the breast care dr found a tumor , that was there before the accident, if there was no accident ,no pain ,I wouldn’t have found that until too late … I never fixed the medal pendant ,I think that is what He wants ,a constant memory of who is in control ….. there are no accidents ,just His plan and no matter He will be with us and take us through

This video is a revelation for me. I have been wanting to praise God by speaking in tongues. A lot of strongholds were broken in my life and I was baptized by the Holy Spirit, which the man speaking over me said I would be speaking in tongues soon... One the 7th day, I spoke in tongues saying "Holy El Shaddai" a lot! Thank yall for making this video! Now I can appreciate His holy name more!
I had a dream I was holding my husbands hand and as I was looking at our hands locked together I was humming the song "El Shaddai" Not sure what it means but Im sure something wonderful❤
I'm non denominational but I figure if Jesus was Jewish I needed to learn more about Judaism the other day because I'm so confused with everything out there and also all of the biblical evidence popping up and also I'm just a lot spiritually speaking we're talking so the other day I asked God what is your name really and this morning he answered me he said in my heart very loudly El shaddai is the name of God
Thank you. may I please ask where did you get from that earth moves on its axis? I suggest please check what is revealed about earth in Bible and make correction. thank you
We all need to never forget, although scribes kept putting different names in scriptures, the fact it is referred over & over the name that God gave his name to Abraham " El Shaddai " & scriptures keep s repeating I am the God of Abraham & nothing else, El Shaddai is both of the female & male gender, God is both
Origin of the name Shaddai, and t’s meaning, as made known unto Emanuel Swedenborg by our Lord Jesus Christ blessing to make known unto those of the New Jerusalem Church. GENESIS 17:1. And Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years; and Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Shaddai; walk thou before me, and be thou perfect. by which name the Lord was first represented before them; “walk thou before me” signifies the truth of faith; “and be thou perfect” signifies good. I am God Shaddai. That in the sense of the letter this signifies the name of Abram’s God, by which name the Lord was first represented before them, is evident from the things contained in the Word concerning Abram, and concerning the house of his father, in that they adored other gods. In Syria, whence Abram came, there still existed remains of the ancient church, and many families there retained its worship-as is evident from Eber who was of that country, from whom came the Hebrew nation-and they in like manner retained the name “Jehovah,” as is evident from what has been shown in volume 1 (n. 1343), and also from the case of Balaam, who was from Syria and offered sacrifices and called Jehovah his God. That Balaam was from Syria may be seen in Numbers 23:7; that he offered sacrifices, Num. 22:39-40; 23:1-3, 14, 29; that he called Jehovah his God, Num. 22:8, 13, 18, 31; 23:8, 12, 16. [2] But this was not the case with the house of Terah, the father of Abram and Nahor, for this was one of the families of the nations there that had not only lost the name “Jehovah” but had also served other gods, and instead of Jehovah had worshiped Shaddai, whom they called their god. That they had lost the name “Jehovah” is evident from the things adduced in volume 1 (n. 1343). And that they served other gods is openly stated in Joshua: Joshua said unto all the people, Thus hath said Jehovah, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they served other gods; now fear Jehovah, and serve him in entirety and in truth; and put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah. And if it be evil in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose ye this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods that your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites (Josh. 24:2, 14-15). That Nahor also, the brother of Abram, and the nation descended from him, served other gods is evident from Laban the Syrian, who was in the city of Nahor and worshiped images or teraphim, which Rachel carried away (Gen. 24:10; 31:19, 26, 32, 34). See also what is said on this subject in volume 1 (n. 1356). That instead of Jehovah they worshiped Shaddai, whom they called their god, is distinctly stated in Moses: I, Jehovah, appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Shaddai; and by my name Jehovah was I not known to them (Exod. 6:3). [3] From all this we may see that in his early manhood, Abram, like other gentiles, was an idolater, and that up to this time, while living in the land of Canaan, he had not rejected from his mind the god Shaddai-by which is meant in the sense of the letter the name of Abram’s god-and that by this name the Lord was first represented before them (that is, before Abram, Isaac, and Jacob), as is evident from the passage just quoted. [4] The reason why the Lord was willing to be first represented before them by the name “Shaddai” is that the Lord by no means desires to destroy suddenly (still less in a single moment) the worship that has been inseminated in anyone from his infancy; for this would be to tear up the root, and thereby destroy the holy state of adoration and of worship that has been deeply implanted, and which the Lord never breaks, but bends. The holy state of worship, that has been rooted in from infancy is of such a nature that it cannot endure violence, but only a gentle and kindly bending. The case is the same with those gentiles who in their bodily life had worshiped idols, and yet had lived in mutual charity. As the holy state of their worship has been inrooted from their infancy, in the other life it is not taken away in a moment, but successively; for in those who have lived in mutual charity, the goods and truths of faith can be easily implanted, and they receive them afterwards with joy; for charity is the very soil. And such also was the case with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in that the Lord suffered them to retain the name “God Shaddai,” insomuch that he said he was God Shaddai; and this from the meaning of the name.
[5] Some translators render Shaddai “the almighty”; others, “the thunderer”; but it properly signifies “the tempter” or “tester,” and “the benefactor after the temptations” or “trials,” as is evident from the book of Job, which mentions “Shaddai” so frequently because Job was in trials or temptations; as may be seen from the following passages: Behold, happy is the man whom God chastiseth; and reject not thou the chastening of Shaddai (Job 5:17). The arrows of Shaddai are with me, the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me (Job 6:4). He shall forsake the fear of Shaddai (Job 6:14). I will speak to Shaddai, and I desire to contend with God (Job 13:3). He hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against Shaddai (Job 15:25). His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the fury of Shaddai (Job 21:20). Shaddai, thou shalt not find him out; he is great in power, and in judgment, and in the greatness of righteousness. He will not afflict (Job 37:23). Also in Joel: Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is near, and as devastation from Shaddai shall it come (Joel 1:15). The same may also be seen from the word shaddai itself, which signifies vastation, and thus temptation, for temptation is a kind of vastation. But as this name took its rise from nations in Syria, he is not called “Elohim Shaddai,” but “El Shaddai”; and in Job simply “Shaddai,” and “El” or “God” is named separately. [6] As after temptations there is consolation, those people also attributed the good resulting from them to the same Shaddai (as in Job 22:17, 23, 25-26); as well as the understanding of truth, which also results from temptations (Job 32:8; 33:4). And as Shaddai was thus esteemed as the god of truth-for vastation, temptation, chastening, and rebuking, are not of good, but of truth-and because the Lord was represented by him before Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the name was retained even in the prophets; but in them by “Shaddai” is meant truth. As in Ezekiel: I heard the voice of the wings of the cherubim, like the voice of many waters, like the voice of Shaddai, when they went; the voice of tumult, like the voice of a camp (Ezek. 1:24). The court was filled with the brightness of the glory of Jehovah; and the voice of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Shaddai when he speaketh (Ezek. 10:4-5); where “Jehovah” denotes good, and “Shaddai” truth. In the internal sense of the Word “wings” in like manner signify things that belong to truth. [7] Moreover Isaac and Jacob also make mention of the God Shaddai in a similar sense, that is, as of one who tempts, and delivers from temptation, and afterwards confers benefits. When Jacob was fleeing because of Esau, Isaac said to him, God Shaddai bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee (Gen. 28:3). And when the sons of Jacob were about to go into Egypt to buy corn, and when they feared Joseph so greatly, Jacob said to them, God Shaddai give you mercies before the man, that he may release unto you your other brother, and Benjamin (Gen. 43:14). Jacob, then called Israel, blessing Joseph, who had been in the evils of temptations, or trials, more than his brethren, and had been delivered from them, said, By the God of thy father, and he shall help thee, and with Shaddai, and he shall bless thee (Gen. 49:25). All this shows why the Lord was at first willing to be represented by the god Shaddai whom Abram worshiped, and why he said “I am God Shaddai”; as in like manner he afterwards said to Jacob, “I am God Shaddai; be fruitful and multiply” (Gen. 35:11); and a further reason was that in what goes before, temptations were treated of in the internal sense. [8] The worship of Shaddai among those people originated from the fact that, as was the case with a certain nation that of the Lord’s Divine mercy will be spoken of in what follows, so with those who were of the ancient church, there were often heard spirits who reproved them and who also afterwards comforted them. The spirits who reproved them were perceived at the left side, beneath the arm. Angels were present at such times, at the head, who governed the spirits and moderated the reproof. And as there was nothing that was said to them by the spirits which they did not regard as Divine, they named the reproving spirit “Shaddai”; and because he afterwards administered consolation, they called him “the god Shaddai.” The men at that time, as also the Jews, because they did not understand the internal sense of the Word, were in the religious belief that all evil and thus all temptation, like all good and thus all consolation, come from God; but that it is not so, may be seen in volume 1 (n. 245, 592, 696, 1093, 1874, 1875). Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen
heratics the both of you The linguistic evidence to translate El Shaddai to "God Almighty" is based on the Hebrew language and the consensus among major Hebrew lexicons and theological encyclopedias. The name El Shaddai is written in Hebrew and probably means "God, the All-powerful One" or "The Mighty One of Jacob." The name emphasizes God's ultimate power over all and His might over man's frailty. The Septuagint, the oldest surviving Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, translates El Shaddai in various ways, including "God Shaddai," "the Almighty," and "the Ruler of All." While some scholars suggest that the name El Shaddai may have been associated with fertility or nurturing in ancient Hebrew culture, there is no clear evidence to support this interpretation. The most common interpretation of El Shaddai is "God Almighty" or "God the Overpowerer," emphasizing God's might over man's frailty.Scholars and Hebrew lexicons translate El Shaddai to "God Almighty" because it is the most common interpretation of the name.

The available search results do not provide any reference to a Hebrew lexicon that translates El Shaddai to "God with breast," "mother-like God," or "nutritor." The interpretation that El Shaddai means "God with breast" or "mother-like God" is a relatively recent interpretation that has been advocated by some scholars and feminists, but it is not widely accepted among scholars and is not supported by the linguistic evidence or the consensus among major Hebrew lexicons and theological encyclopedias There is no reference to anyone who said El Shaddai means "God with breast" or "mother-like God" or "nutritor" before the 1970s in the available search results.

However, this interpretation is not widely accepted among scholars and is not supported by the linguistic evidence or the consensus among major Hebrew lexicons and theological encyclopedias. The Septuagint, the oldest surviving Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, does not translate El Shaddai as "God with breast" or "mother-like God" but uses various translations such as "God Shaddai," "the Almighty," and "the Ruler of All." the Septuagint translates El Shaddai in Genesis 17:1-3, Genesis 28:3, and Genesis 49:25. However, the Septuagint translates El Shaddai in various ways, including "God Shaddai," "the Almighty," and "the Ruler of All." The translations of El Shaddai in these verses vary, but they all emphasize God's power and blessings. Here are 10 scholars who have contributed to Hebrew lexicons and theological encyclopedias and have rejected the interpretation of El Shaddai as "God of Breasts": Ludwig Koehler - German theologian and co-author of "A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament" Walter Baumgartner - Swiss theologian and co-author of "The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament" Johann Jakob Stamm - Swiss theologian and co-author of "The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament" David J.

Walton - American scholar and co-author of "Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament" Willem A. VanGemeren - Dutch scholar and co-author of "New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis" Moisés Silva - American scholar and co-author of "New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis" Harriet Lutzky, in her article “Shadday as a Goddess Epithet,” Vetus Testamentum 48 (1998): 15-36, identified El Shaddai as the name of the goddess Asherah. Lutzky found an association with Shaddai and breasts in Jacob’s blessing of his sons. In blessing Joseph, Jacob said: “The God of your father who will help you, by God Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb (Genesis 49:25). How The association of El Shaddai with breasts and the goddess Asherah has been rejected by most scholars.
I read from a male Ancient Hebrew teacher who studied the language for years say it actually means "teat" ...so even more offensive to the religious. To the ancient hebrews though, he said, one of their main animals that they raised were goats...and they were likening God to the teat of a goat feeding a kid goat...God is the ultimate sustenance and nourishment to us. So, stop getting your underwear bunched over this. This does not equal female sex god worship, my word. I am getting sick of anyone getting so offended over ANYTHING directly maternal about God. For heaven's sake...it is as if females were not also made in the image of God.
@@lisagrace6471 1st off god ain't maternal the bible says he is the husband the father etc etc so respect gods choice of propouns 2ndly you saying 'OhH a TeAcHeR tOLd mE sOo iT hAs to Be tRuE'... is ain't a valid point Karen the whole goat thing ya you produced that from where you put your stick and you're too high on feminist propaganda to understand the concept of Imago Dei i quoted multiple lexicons and actual scholars with degree rated to this subject who find this delulu even one of the earliest greek translation of the new testament disagrees with their interpretation next time you heretics try to b@rk at least bring some better arguments than " a TeAcHeR tOLd mE sOo iT hAs to Be tRuE"

We all need to never forget, although scribes kept putting different names in scriptures, the fact it is referred over & over the name that God gave his name to Abraham " El Shaddai " & scriptures keep s repeating I am the God of Abraham & nothing else, El Shaddai is both of the female & male gender, God is both
Origin of the name Shaddai, and t’s meaning, as made known unto Emanuel Swedenborg by our Lord Jesus Christ blessing to make known unto those of the New Jerusalem Church.
GENESIS 17:1. And Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years; and Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Shaddai; walk thou before me, and be thou perfect.
by which name the Lord was first represented before them; “walk thou before me” signifies the truth of faith; “and be thou perfect” signifies good.
I am God Shaddai. That in the sense of the letter this signifies the name of Abram’s God, by which name the Lord was first represented before them, is evident from the things contained in the Word concerning Abram, and concerning the house of his father, in that they adored other gods.
In Syria, whence Abram came, there still existed remains of the ancient church, and many families there retained its worship-as is evident from Eber who was of that country, from whom came the Hebrew nation-and they in like manner retained the name “Jehovah,” as is evident from what has been shown in volume 1 (n. 1343), and also from the case of Balaam, who was from Syria and offered sacrifices and called Jehovah his God. That Balaam was from Syria may be seen in Numbers 23:7; that he offered sacrifices, Num. 22:39-40; 23:1-3, 14, 29; that he called Jehovah his God, Num. 22:8, 13, 18, 31; 23:8, 12, 16.
[2] But this was not the case with the house of Terah, the father of Abram and Nahor, for this was one of the families of the nations there that had not only lost the name “Jehovah” but had also served other gods, and instead of Jehovah had worshiped Shaddai, whom they called their god.
That they had lost the name “Jehovah” is evident from the things adduced in volume 1 (n. 1343). And that they served other gods is openly stated in Joshua: Joshua said unto all the people, Thus hath said Jehovah, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they served other gods; now fear Jehovah, and serve him in entirety and in truth; and put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah.
And if it be evil in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose ye this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods that your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites (Josh. 24:2, 14-15).
That Nahor also, the brother of Abram, and the nation descended from him, served other gods is evident from Laban the Syrian, who was in the city of Nahor and worshiped images or teraphim, which Rachel carried away (Gen. 24:10; 31:19, 26, 32, 34). See also what is said on this subject in volume 1 (n. 1356).
That instead of Jehovah they worshiped Shaddai, whom they called their god, is distinctly stated in Moses: I, Jehovah, appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Shaddai; and by my name Jehovah was I not known to them (Exod. 6:3).
[3] From all this we may see that in his early manhood, Abram, like other gentiles, was an idolater, and that up to this time, while living in the land of Canaan, he had not rejected from his mind the god Shaddai-by which is meant in the sense of the letter the name of Abram’s god-and that by this name the Lord was first represented before them (that is, before Abram, Isaac, and Jacob), as is evident from the passage just quoted.
[4] The reason why the Lord was willing to be first represented before them by the name “Shaddai” is that the Lord by no means desires to destroy suddenly (still less in a single moment) the worship that has been inseminated in anyone from his infancy; for this would be to tear up the root, and thereby destroy the holy state of adoration and of worship that has been deeply implanted, and which the Lord never breaks, but bends.
The holy state of worship, that has been rooted in from infancy is of such a nature that it cannot endure violence, but only a gentle and kindly bending. The case is the same with those gentiles who in their bodily life had worshiped idols, and yet had lived in mutual charity.
As the holy state of their worship has been inrooted from their infancy, in the other life it is not taken away in a moment, but successively; for in those who have lived in mutual charity, the goods and truths of faith can be easily implanted, and they receive them afterwards with joy; for charity is the very soil. And such also was the case with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in that the Lord suffered them to retain the name “God Shaddai,” insomuch that he said he was God Shaddai; and this from the meaning of the name.
[5] Some translators render Shaddai “the almighty”; others, “the thunderer”; but it properly signifies “the tempter” or “tester,” and “the benefactor after the temptations” or “trials,” as is evident from the book of Job, which mentions “Shaddai” so frequently because Job was in trials or temptations; as may be seen from the following passages:
Behold, happy is the man whom God chastiseth; and reject not thou the chastening of Shaddai (Job 5:17).
The arrows of Shaddai are with me, the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me (Job 6:4).
He shall forsake the fear of Shaddai (Job 6:14). I will speak to Shaddai, and I desire to contend with God (Job 13:3).
He hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against Shaddai (Job 15:25).
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the fury of Shaddai (Job 21:20).
Shaddai, thou shalt not find him out; he is great in power, and in judgment, and in the greatness of righteousness. He will not afflict (Job 37:23).
Also in Joel:
Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is near, and as devastation from Shaddai shall it come (Joel 1:15).
The same may also be seen from the word shaddai itself, which signifies vastation, and thus temptation, for temptation is a kind of vastation. But as this name took its rise from nations in Syria, he is not called “Elohim Shaddai,” but “El Shaddai”; and in Job simply “Shaddai,” and “El” or “God” is named separately.
[6] As after temptations there is consolation, those people also attributed the good resulting from them to the same Shaddai (as in Job 22:17, 23, 25-26); as well as the understanding of truth, which also results from temptations (Job 32:8; 33:4).
And as Shaddai was thus esteemed as the god of truth-for vastation, temptation, chastening, and rebuking, are not of good, but of truth-and because the Lord was represented by him before Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the name was retained even in the prophets; but in them by “Shaddai” is meant truth.
As in Ezekiel: I heard the voice of the wings of the cherubim, like the voice of many waters, like the voice of Shaddai, when they went; the voice of tumult, like the voice of a camp (Ezek. 1:24).
The court was filled with the brightness of the glory of Jehovah; and the voice of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Shaddai when he speaketh (Ezek. 10:4-5); where “Jehovah” denotes good, and “Shaddai” truth.
In the internal sense of the Word “wings” in like manner signify things that belong to truth.
[7] Moreover Isaac and Jacob also make mention of the God Shaddai in a similar sense, that is, as of one who tempts, and delivers from temptation, and afterwards confers benefits. When Jacob was fleeing because of Esau, Isaac said to him, God Shaddai bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee (Gen. 28:3).
And when the sons of Jacob were about to go into Egypt to buy corn, and when they feared Joseph so greatly, Jacob said to them, God Shaddai give you mercies before the man, that he may release unto you your other brother, and Benjamin (Gen. 43:14).
Jacob, then called Israel, blessing Joseph, who had been in the evils of temptations, or trials, more than his brethren, and had been delivered from them, said, By the God of thy father, and he shall help thee, and with Shaddai, and he shall bless thee (Gen. 49:25).
All this shows why the Lord was at first willing to be represented by the god Shaddai whom Abram worshiped, and why he said “I am God Shaddai”; as in like manner he afterwards said to Jacob, “I am God Shaddai; be fruitful and multiply” (Gen. 35:11); and a further reason was that in what goes before, temptations were treated of in the internal sense.
[8] The worship of Shaddai among those people originated from the fact that, as was the case with a certain nation that of the Lord’s Divine mercy will be spoken of in what follows, so with those who were of the ancient church, there were often heard spirits who reproved them and who also afterwards comforted them. The spirits who reproved them were perceived at the left side, beneath the arm.
Angels were present at such times, at the head, who governed the spirits and moderated the reproof. And as there was nothing that was said to them by the spirits which they did not regard as Divine, they named the reproving spirit “Shaddai”; and because he afterwards administered consolation, they called him “the god Shaddai.”
The men at that time, as also the Jews, because they did not understand the internal sense of the Word, were in the religious belief that all evil and thus all temptation, like all good and thus all consolation, come from God; but that it is not so, may be seen in volume 1 (n. 245, 592, 696, 1093, 1874, 1875).
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen

The linguistic evidence to translate El Shaddai to "God Almighty" is based on the Hebrew language and the consensus among major Hebrew lexicons and theological encyclopedias. The name El Shaddai is written in Hebrew and probably means "God, the All-powerful One" or "The Mighty One of Jacob." The name emphasizes God's ultimate power over all and His might over man's frailty. The Septuagint, the oldest surviving Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, translates El Shaddai in various ways, including "God Shaddai," "the Almighty," and "the Ruler of All." While some scholars suggest that the name El Shaddai may have been associated with fertility or nurturing in ancient Hebrew culture, there is no clear evidence to support this interpretation. The most common interpretation of El Shaddai is "God Almighty" or "God the Overpowerer," emphasizing God's might over man's frailty.Scholars and Hebrew lexicons translate El Shaddai to "God Almighty" because it is the most common interpretation of the name.

Harriet Lutzky, in her article “Shadday as a Goddess Epithet,” Vetus Testamentum 48 (1998): 15-36, identified El Shaddai as the name of the goddess Asherah. Lutzky found an association with Shaddai and breasts in Jacob’s blessing of his sons. In blessing Joseph, Jacob said: “The God of your father who will help you, by God Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb (Genesis 49:25).
How The association of El Shaddai with breasts and the goddess Asherah has been rejected by most scholars.
I read from a male Ancient Hebrew teacher who studied the language for years say it actually means "teat" ...so even more offensive to the religious. To the ancient hebrews though, he said, one of their main animals that they raised were goats...and they were likening God to the teat of a goat feeding a kid goat...God is the ultimate sustenance and nourishment to us. So, stop getting your underwear bunched over this. This does not equal female sex god worship, my word. I am getting sick of anyone getting so offended over ANYTHING directly maternal about God. For heaven's sake...it is as if females were not also made in the image of God.
@@lisagrace6471 1st off god ain't maternal the bible says he is the husband the father etc etc so respect gods choice of propouns 2ndly you saying 'OhH a TeAcHeR tOLd mE sOo iT hAs to Be tRuE'... is ain't a valid point Karen the whole goat thing ya you produced that from where you put your stick and you're too high on feminist propaganda to understand the concept of Imago Dei i quoted multiple lexicons and actual scholars with degree rated to this subject who find this delulu even one of the earliest greek translation of the new testament disagrees with their interpretation next time you heretics try to b@rk at least bring some better arguments than " a TeAcHeR tOLd mE sOo iT hAs to Be tRuE"
