Christ: A Discussion on Gender and Sex

I was in a women's studies course, and the discussion came up 'would Christianity been adopted if Christ had been a woman?'

To be honest, at first, I was slightly baffled that we were even having the discussion. Then I had to think about it. I don't know.

The relevence of gender and sex should not be of any importance when considering the importance of hearing God's word. Still..

I do have to admit I like the face of Christ as I have imagined him most of my life. I think it would be slightly unsettling to find out otherwise. I don't know why, other than the fact I don't give it much thought about Christ's appearance, and to do so is to take me out of a comfort zone I have not left in a while.

Anyways, nothing terribly enlightening today.. just some thoughts that I had to muse out loud about..
