No one who lives or has ever lived on this planet has a freaking clue. And yes, that includes all the hundreds of people who have been worshiped as divine by anyone else throughout all of human history.

The ENTIRE book refers to God as male. Father and son. Not mother and daughter. Pretty obvious.

Male.
Whenever my wife talks about being pregnant/ childbirth, looks like a dodge ball in there/ pain. I tell my boys, proof that God loves men more. 
Typically men are bigger/ stronger and rely more on logic than emotion, additional advantages.

The Jews had been polytheistic. They believed in the One True God and his wife. Before that they believed there was the One True God who had two sons, they worshiped the younger one.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
In the bible it shows God in masculine terms, but there is feminine imagery as well. The number 1 reason God is a male in my opinion is Christ's own words of "Father". Father Son and Holy Spirit... This is because the Bible was written during a time when women were personal property the same way camels and goats were, and they were certainly not about to refer to God as an "it". Let's be honest here. |

The names have just been changed. Quite incorrect. We only believe in the triune God whose name was revealed to Moses in Exodus, whose essence is to exist (as His name would indicate) and who is the first unmoved mover, the first cause of all that is in this universe. The angels are created non-corporeal beings that are above intelligent corporeal beings such as men in the hierarchy of created beings. Saints are just people who have died and had their souls enter heaven. Satan is akin to the angels in terms of the nature of his being. Angels, demons, and the souls of the dead (or persons who have ascended into heaven sans dying, such as Elijah) are not in any way considered deities. We also don't pray to saints or angels. We ask them to pray for us, to intercede on our behalf with God, as they are by definition closer to God than we are. |

Without sex, likely doesn't procreate at all. To those who believe, you can only know God by what he does, not what he is. Could be a supercomputer, the creator of all that is, or a host of other things you can imagine, or not even conceive of.

I read that with an Arnold accent in my head. As for the comment that the Catholic church as many gods, it is on the money. As the Church went into many pagan areas, local gods or goddesses were turned into saints to placate the local people and get the loyalty of the locals |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For a brief period I will be serious. The pronoun 'He' is used merely for our convenience. G*d is not human, nor male or female. G*d is. And that is generally beyond our comprehension. Their are traits of G*d that may seem male or female, but that is a momentary period. HurricaineAllie wanted to talk about G*d the other day. She told me that G*d is an energy that is intelligent and holds us all together, she is 13. Why the * ? Is it like the muslim non imagery of Mohammed thing? |
