For what reason(s) does God need genitals?

Question

Genesis 1:27 where we read, "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

Answer 1

Really good question! And for it, I have no answer. Dammit, now I'm gonna be up all night.....

Answer 2

When it says we are created in God's image it does not mean a physical one. He is spirit, not a physical body. Also, I'm not so sure God has genitals. Jesus, the human form of God, was a man and had male genitals. But God the Father isnt a man like men are men.

Answer 3

Well, first of all you must remember that when God created us in His image it does not necessarily mean a physical image. God is the ultimate being. He created everything through His will. And by blessing mankind by giving us the ability to reason and exercise a conscious will He made us in His image. God is abstract. Although He is omni-present it does not mean He is a physical entity.

Answer 4

excellent question

according to hindu mythology we have 3.3 billion gods and there is marriage,sex,wars,jealousy and everything is there in the heaven just like in the earth. In such a scenario the question is not relevant.


But considering christianty this is a very valid question

Osho has once said
"The Christian God himself seems to be homosexual -- the whole trinity consists of three men. How they are managing it nobody knows -- not a single woman! Only the Holy Ghost is a little suspect -- maybe the Holy Ghost is bisexual? Ghosts can do any kind of thing! Otherwise the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost -- what kind of trinity is this? It is very homosexual! They have not allowed a single woman to be in it, just to keep out of trouble. One woman would have destroyed the whole trinity; it would have become a real triangle!"

Dont get angry.This is not my words.

Answer 5

Oh dear! God created man in His own Image, but does that image have to be a physical one? or could it be a spiritual one?
If it's spiritual then there will be no genitals!

Answer 6

You are thinking of God in a material way. God is Spirit and Truth. To say that God created man and woman (who become one being) in his image means that we are capable of reflecting the creative Love that made us.

Answer 7

God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them
reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself,
and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."
God created human beings;
he created them godlike,
Reflecting God's nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
"Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."
Gen 1:26-28 (The Message)

I like this version because God is spirit, and we are spirit living in an animal shell. Sort of makes sense to me this way around.

Answer 8

God create Adam in his own image, however, He added genitals for humans as a means to propogate.

Answer 9

God doesn't have genitials. We have suffer with the sex crap stuff cause of the forbidden
fruit that was taken by Adam who blamed it on
Eve! That's the Knot Christianity Knot isn't pronounced not is pronouced Note! It's the feminist's Christianity! There may be others!
They even believe Jesus was a Woman who lived like a Male. Who knows they could be right!

Answer 10

According to the bible I am incredibly thankful he had genitals. If he did not have genitals and we where made in his image we would all be having far less fun. I am sure you understand what I mean.

Hails to the truth,
Silence

Answer 11

Well, the phrases "dickless" and "he's got no balls," are okay for average joes because you know that in the end, they really do.

If you called god dickless, or said he had no balls, and he really didn't, that would just be mean.
