The many translations and interpretations, and their original languages are much more than the gender pronouns limited people need.

The "word" for God varies depending on language spoken. German is Gott. Spanish is Dios. Greek is Theos. Russian is Bog. Don't get stuck in language.

Many Christians believe you can't approach God or be with God through works. Only through Jesus. Problem is Jesus told His disciples at the time He was the way. No one comes to the Father except through me.

We have as many words for Jesus as for God. Which?
Does it matter? Not to me. Does that matter to you?

Works indicate a good and giving life. Jesus lived that. Felon does not. There you go.

Our relationship with God is one to one. God never preached a sermon to a congregation. Jesus TAUGHT small group, but His relationship with each was personal. His lessons and parables were general, not individually specific.

Again, don't get hung up, or distanced.

So I see Christ in you? Yes
In Sia? Yes.
In Poppet? Yes.
In Greenman? Yes
In Trish? Yes
In Christopher? Yes.

You do good and desire to do good.
Is anything you do more important, or worthy than that?
