here's one for you..The bible was written by man ..they are man's words ..and in man's words God appears ..they are not God ..they are words written by man..So one would have to believe in what is written by man in order to believe in the God they talk about..Now I don't know about anyone else..but the way I see it is that one must have faith that man wrote the truth before they can have faith in the God that was written about..Men I"ve never met I'm suppose to believe what they wrote and have faith in their words..Yea I don't think so..spock

But we all have a choice and opinions and all are due the respect..whether it follows the consensus or not.

Is there a God and is he as these men describe.. who knows ..and if he were to appear how would one know that he wasn't a false God..Haven't seen those parameters so how would one measure..And if one did have a supposed way of measuring those too would have been written by man someone once again that we don't know and even if I did how would I know that he wasn't just some nut.

But let's face it People can interpret or twist words so that they conform to whatever belief they want..and the truth is none of us know..no matter how well we may try to convince others no matter how well we can quote scripture..I'll wait for God/false God to write his own book..and then I"ll believe or not.it's really nothing more than a matter of choice what we believe is true..nothing more

I don't think God has a gender. I believe that "God" does not have a human form - he or she is pure love and probably in the form of energy and light. You have to remember that the Bible was written by men who lived in a patriarchal society so of course they identified God as being a male as in God the Father. With the exception of the history of the Jews, most of the Old Testament is allegorical.The New Testament which talks abut Jesus is another story all together.

How does a myth have a gender? By whoever created the myth... Superman is male, because that's how the author wrote it...

Gender is a biological division relating to reproduction.
male, female, hermaphrodite, and asexual.
Then there's what you do with those organs - straight, gay, bi, asexual.
god was into everything, since it apparently created everything.

Apparently god had a son, but not a wife to bear the son, god was a cuckold, inseminating some one else's bride to be. A sneakfuck.
Didn't even follow its own rules.

In the end, Fictions don't have a gender.

WE protect the ,Forth words for "Horus men" only two out of 8 is women but the name of one is ,Queen Min Religion got , that GOD bearer mixed up with the "men" word we have in English as man.Men didn't let no body ,know about Egypt's god-heads and the bondage they want to stay away from they went to with English words to detour others from knowing the truth religion went forth in a word ORDER they lost with the Gain of altar to get money too change and alter lives without one asking questions if it sound the same ,but not spelled the same English words is differ from Egypt's words.U.S.A. has" four horse man" has one in the same we have MORPHOSIS WORDS.

God is a He, with capital H, not small. He is not a human and would have no reason for a biological reproductive description.

Hebrew had no neutral gender, so everything had the male or female(like Spanish) and God was referred to as He.

It was the design that the male(he) be the family head, and He(God) is the head of all things.

So, in terms of Hebrew language and gender roles, God is HE

I generally don't care to discuss religion or politics, but this is more of my thinking on the topic of God.

I see the bible as a story, passed down and as most stories go, gets changed along the way each time its told. So I find it to be just that, a story told because unexplainable occurrences happened and some recorded it according to how they perceived it at the time.

It is very touchy subject, like politics, because everyone has their own opinion, and you know what they say about that, and assuming.

Actually MS harmony I can take it one step further - God in the Hebrew Bible is referred to "Yahweh" which means "I am Who Am" with no gender specified. Your point about the Hebrew language lends it's self to my opinion that God is referred to as a male because it was written by men living in a patriarchal society - if they had referred to God as being female, they knew that no one would listen to them - at that time women were regarded as being second class to men, sometimes just chattel. So of course they referred to God as being a He - because a man was seen as being more powerful and had greater authority in society (times really haven't changed have they? lol) Plus God as being a father figure is very powerful - a father at the time was one who protected the family and basically ensured their survival - something that would have been very difficult at the time for a woman to do - so ascribing the male gender to God would have a much greater appeal and acceptance in that society and that of course was one of their goals to - get people to listen to their story and to get them believe in God.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

I would say 'I am who I am' is an entire sentence and not a name or word that gender would apply to, and Yahweh is a formal name, like mine is Michele. In Hebrew it means "Who is like God'

Michele doesn't have to be male or female, it can be either. But I , Michele, am a female.

I do not see those issues being inconsistent with God being a He.

For those who are non believers. It is probably a moot issue. But for those of us who are bible believers, it is all throughout the bible the role males took from the time of Adam, as well as that of females. ANd it makes logical sense that as 'heads' were the male role, God would be He.

non mortal, but the head figure, which in biblical terms (for bible believers) is referred to in the male.

I think yours is the most sensible and comprehensive answer.
The clincher of course is that God is not a material being but a spiritual being, and so biological reproduction (and with it, gender) don't apply to God.

It may be possible to determine if God is more masculine or feminine in his/her mental make up, but since he/she is the source of both Adam's and Eve's distinct ways of thinking and feeling, and they were both made in God's image, God must have both masculine and feminine traits to his/her personality.
(Ok, I'm going to stop using his/her in relation to God, because that just feels weird. But then, even contemplating the gender of God seems to me like a weird thing to do.)

pitchfork god is Brothers for the Sisters:angel:


Where would you get this from? This is certainly not biblical because in the bible God tells us to call him our Father in heaven. IIRC not even Jesus ever told his disciples to think of him as their brother, but such other things as Lord, Saviour, Teacher, Friend. Jesus is also known as our "kinsman-redeemer" but this does not mean he is brother to everyone, but it emphasises that he took on the form of a human, born from a woman even, so that he could be the redeemer of all mankind.

so god coveted another man's wife? God must be a liberal, because he uses the phrase " don't do as I do, do as I say"... God can't even keep up with his commandments...indifferent
