Let’s see? He had a Son, is there a Mrs God? Wait, I had the answer on the tip of my tongue, but I lost it.The Scripture does use the masculine description. But then in the Greek and Hebrew there may not be a word for GOD, outside GOD, and the translators just scratched their heads and used HE!It is a useless discussion, but…………… Humans do a lot of that. I went to look at the page, but it is a closed group.????________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
To use the logic of some of the edumacated on there, they seem to believe that by believing God as Father means he has genitals. Those types don’t frequent Shoney’s I’m afraid.
Ole Timer, I really just can’t see myself asking Chief Charging Battery if God is male. He tries to avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they do gender strifes.
is depicted in masculine terms, and while it has been pointed out, it is more favorable to address Yahweh as He or Him rather than it.It is true the Scriptures do portray Yahweh in Fatherly terms but some people can’t seem to handle literature devices. What would we do if all masculine and feminine were removed from grammar. How would we describe active and receptive?The attempt to neutralize the Scriptures by debating this issue serves only to distract from the message and a subtle attempt to chip away at the foundation of the veracity of the Word of God.People will believe what they want and people will make issues where they want to make issues.Endless debate about such things are not only useless but causes confusion – and the latter is probably the agenda of the more militant detractors________________The HammerMi kamocah ba’elim AdonaiWho is like you, Adonai, among the mighty?

Jesus said that when folk pray they should say, Our Father.

Maybe He isn’t transgender, but transcends gender?
I’d love to be a fly on the wall.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall.If you could quote some of the choice morsels here, I’m sure it would be highly entertaining.

In anthropomorphic terms God

But isn’t the Hebrew word for God the Spirit a feminine noun?
