was thinking about how the concept of god is usually characterized as male (thanks patriarchy) and i came up with a question: in christian theology,
does "God" have a penis?
surely the catholic church made some sort of ruling on this
stop derailing with Jesus's foreskin, this post is about God's genitals ONLY
Hi, Catholic here—the only part of the holy trinity with a human body is the Son (Jesus) so yes, but also God the Father doesn’t have a human body so no, but the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all the same being as well so yes, but all humans including women are created in the image of God so hypothetically He has everything else too. Hope this helps.
thank you it did not!
One of my absolute favorite professors, Dr. Tupper (a tiny, elderly, white, deeply Southern Baptist man from Mississippi who spoke with a THICK accent), from my Masters of Divinity program taught about the genderless-ness of God by scrawling a MASSIVE set of male genitalia on the white board and then tapping it enthusiastically while yelling: "GOD DOES NOT HAVE A PENIS!"
Frank mothereffin Tupper. That dude was a trip (and one of the greatest theologians to ever walk this earth).
