The TRUE MEANING, OF ABBA, FATHER

OK, well, after a day of prayer and tears,

got some answers, to the Abba Father, what it means, WHAT IT DOESN'T MEAN.

It does NOT mean, God is Male, as many patriarchs like to put forth, those patriarchs and misogynists who have 'created God in THEIR image'

what it does mean, is that God, is our Spiritual Father, [but God in the Bible also is to us, many other things, including dwelling, which in Hebrew is a female noun, another topic, as I want to do more research on the Hebrew names for God before posting, but one of them, is a female noun in Hebrew, showing the female character of God...in the dwelling, or in one definition, like a bird's nest, birds, and that I could see because Jesus did say, how often I've wanted to gather you like a hen does her chicks],

but, anyway, the Abba Father, is Spiritual, for the heirs, the sons AND daughters...

but, the way, the masculine terminology has been used literal to put up this male Supremacy, hurts women,

hurts children,

because it gives the impression that God and Man has relationship, woman and child, are just appendages.

Who are often, abused, because if they have no value, other than being appendages, then, whats wrong with abusing them, right?

Unfortunately, there are those who truly believe, that women and children have no value other than for man's glory,

so in my journey, Is God a Misogynist, which has opened up so many wounds and internalizations,

it has also, revealed to me, or I should say, God has revealed to me, how sinful people have mischaracterized the character, nature, Holiness of God,

molding God into the Image that THEY want to support, prop up, maintain, perpetuate, the Power that they have over others,

be it religious institutions, social institutions, governments, you name it,

but God is a MORAL AND HOLY GOD, A JUST GOD, as well as A MERCIFUL GOD,

the two go hand in hand, God is not one without the Other,

God is Love,

and LOVE, is, MORAL, HOLY, AND MERCIFUL.

Love is 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

4: Love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5: It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6: Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

7: It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

8: Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9: For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10: but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

11: When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

12: For now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The part about when I was a child--is often too, taken as a means of indifference,

apathy,

we are to also, become childlike,

Jesus said: 1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"
2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.3 Then he said, "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 "And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf* is welcoming me.6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18:1-5

That, is why, we call Him,

Abba Father...

In Christ,
