There is little argument over these points. But there is argument when one transfers to the area of verbal expression of these facts. The expression of sex through language is causing in our times a controversy involving the selection of words used to describe God Himself. There is disagreement about the use of certain words in the scriptures and in liturgical texts.

Words are symbols of human ideas.
Developed and used over the years words carry meanings and concepts that express the activities and ideas of persons, both bodily and spiritual, persons of both sexes. Words when studied and organized into a grammar, fit into categories that reflect the very nature of the human person who uses them. Thus, some words express qualities of the female sex and others those of the male sex. Grammarians in time recognized these qualities and distinguished words by their gender, which was based both in the external form of the word and in its basic meaning. Words must express truth.
