Not the Everlasting Mother (Isaiah 9:6). Also add to this the fact that all the prophets (messengers of God) speak of Him in such a manner.
How could God have made it any more clear that He is to be referred to as "He"?

The Bible was written under the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit, which gave them words to speak. Thus, it is God's revealed Word to us, even in the Prophets and even in the Epistles.

By the way, I am not saying that God is male or female, I am saying that God wishes to be referred using the masculine term.

Jesus Christ Himself says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
There is no other way to God. The buck stops right here.

I agree with you. It says in the bible that "HE" is a he. It even refers to him as a "HE". Anyways just writing for moral support, keep speaking the truth.

Believe it or not, there are other faiths in the world equally valid and equally verifiable as your faith that say to the contrary.
For most people it is natural for a woman to be at the center of a creation story (in a positive light) since birth and women are so intertwined. In fact the more emphatic Christianity (Judaism or Islam) tries to be that god is male, the more it makes me wonder why.
I get the feeling that the men of these religions were dissatisfied with religions that exalted the feminine, so they created a religion that was decidedly masculine, nearly derrogatory toward women and particularly strict on the sexual lives of the women.
The bottom line is that people today think of God in terms that they are most comfortable - so whether people think God is male, female, or just energy, they are thinking about God, right? That's good anyway, right?

God doesn't call himself anything. Men wrote the Bible. Also, God doesn't have reproductive organs. Why would he need them? Besides the fact about the prophets, of course they would assume God was a He because they were so sexist back in that day there's no way they'd answer to a woman!

God is an Alien you fools!!! Aliens have no reproductive organs and are A-Sexual and their minds have evolved in such a way that they have no conscious thoughts therefore there is no such thing to them as good and evil. Don't you people know anything?

God didn't write the Bible, man did.
"How could God have made it any more clear that He is to be referred to as "He"?"
Well lets see, "he" could show "himself" and actually speak to us.

If you take those references to mean "a representative of the human race" - it will go down easier, and maybe you won't run the risk of missing the really important messages! Try to keep in mind who we were (and our relative age) by thinking of our relationship in terms of raising children.

God did not say that. Men have said God is a father.

The Scriptures say that God is Spirit, and all must worship Him in Spirit.

Anyone that thinks he is a she, doesn't know God.
