There's Nothing Wrong With Divine Revelation That A Little Improving Couldn't Fix

Mark Shea:

With the ECUSA reduced to a smoking heap of rubble...

the PCUSA becomes the next to sell its birthright for a pot of message:

Presbyterians this June will be asked to ratify a new report on Trinitarian theology that describes the cornerstone doctrine in various metaphorical terms, including a controversial description of the triune God as "Mother, Child and Womb."

In other descriptions the report uses other biblical terms to name the Triune God.

"We may use words that speaks of the inner relations of the Godhead – Lover, Beloved, Love, and those that speak of the loving activity of the Three among us – Creator, Savior, Sanctifier, Rock, Redeemer, Friend, King of Glory, Prince of Peace, Spirit of Love."

Actually, those terms *don't* speak of the inner relations of the Godhead. The Name that *does* speak of those relations is--surprise!--the one revealed to us by the Second Person of the Godhead. "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" (those hopelessly non-PC terms) describe better than anything else the inner relationship of the Trinity: who God is in Himself. The hopelessly banal and trendy titles the PCUSA is batting around have one thing in common: they are calculated to express, not who God is in himself, but who comfortable upscale suburbanites who have dabbled in feminism and multiculti crap would like him to be for the sake of their comfort.

I would like to invite readers to come up with more titles to please the comfortable suburban ear. Perhaps "Trainer, Stairmaster, and Steroid"? How about "Affirmer, Mirror, and Giver of Self-Esteem"? How about "Bank, Check, and Cash Flow"?

At the risk of being accused of blaspheming the Name, please understand, I am blaspheming nothing but the false god these Improvers are creating. All glory, honor and praise be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
