Bible Note: Shalom Ed, The term "Jewish mysticism" is usually used in a negative sense, and therefore is not usually used by those who study Kabbalah, rather the word Kabbalah is used alone. The Holy Spirit is feminine if you can read Hebrew. For example Gen 1:2 says in the King James; And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The word for move is marachephet, the “et” at the end identifies the subject of the verb as feminine, marachephet would be literally translated as “she moved”. Remember that God created man in his image, male and female he created them. God is both male and female. He first created man just like him, male and female, then he took the female portion out and made the woman and gave her the feminine qualities. To say that the Holy Spirit is the mother God is incorrect, I did not say that. I simply stated that one of the sepherot of the tree of life is Chachmah (wisdom, also a femine word). Chachmah represents the feminine side of God. The scriptures call God an Eagle, Ox, etc. What is wrong with understanding that God has the characteristics of a mother? There are no Sadducees today, that was a sect of Judaism in the first century that did not survive beyond the second century. If you have a specific issue that I did not cover in Hanks response, I apologize, please let me know what it is and I would be happy to respond to it. Let me add, I understand that my positions are not very fundamental according to most of those in these forums. And I apologize if my views offend you in any way. Shalom Simchat Torah P.S. To see what the Tree of life looks like and its components, just do an internet search on “ten sephirot”. |
