The Hebrew God of Genesis is clearly androgynous.

Anybody who cannot see that the Hebrew God evolved from androgynous to angry male to loving male to Jesus does not understand how to read the Bible.

Why ask questions when you clearly have no intent to understand the Word.
It makes you look foolish and you continue to do a might fine job of it!
Get a life, and stop harrassing people.

Yes. There was first the goddess, then later, much later, the god. I suppose it makes sense that a transitional figure could be the androgynous god-ess. As a matter of fact, if you're going to believe in a god to begin with, an androgynous god makes more sense than any other. Why, for example, is it god the father, god the son? Where is god the mother and god the daughter?
(The god in Genesis, you say, is androgynous? Why is he a he and regarded as a father, then?)

The "Hebrew God" is not male or female; it's a pure spirit, pure energy, without a physical body. In Judaism, God has no body, God is non-physical. Any mention of God's body is considered to be metaphorical. Any physical representation of God, such as the Golden Calf, is considered to be idolatry. As God has no body, He has no gender. While God is referred to in masculine terms and the Shechinah (Divine presence that fills the universe) is referred to in feminine terms, God is actually neither male nor female.
Of course priesthoods etc. should be open to everyone, and any ideas to the contrary amount to bigotry.

Sorry. He is not. He is refered to in many ways in a masculine form. And He is the same God as in the the rest of the Old Testament and New Testament which clearly refers to Him as Father, etc.
So therefore your question is null and void.

The Catholic Church believes that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry.
The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.
With love in Christ.

I personally agree with you. God is beyond gender. It's us who've decided to call God male, completely leaving out the idea of the Divine Feminine. Why else do you think I'm Wiccan? =)
