Judaism, which invented the god of the bible, teaches that "God" is pure spirit, without physical form and without gender. The Hebrew language has no neuter gender so the male-oriented references are for convenience and are meaningless; Yahweh is considered beyond anything in the material world.

I don't know that God is a man or a women, Jesus came to earth as a Man and Jesus is God, The Holy Spirit is a Spirit, God is God.
I guess I tend to think God is in the Spirit , we have to worship in the spirit to fellowship with God. Our minds are so limited, but I believe God is a Spirit.
When the Word says we were created in his image I think it may have been referring to the fact that we have three parts, (mind, body and soul). God is three (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), with each being God. We being only human try to put God into terms we can understand.
I wish I could give you an answer that would bring you closer to God, then you would understand with the help of the Spirit.
God the Father sent Jesus the Son to Die for you, you should try to get to know him. God loves you very much.
God Bless you.

Neither- there is Mother God and Father God, Mother God is what the bible refered to as the "holy spirit", but in fact, for Jesus to be son of God, he had to have a mother, thus, I believe there are 2 supreme beings, Mother God and Father God.

The Bible refers to God as He so I assume He wants to be known as He. Besides, He is Father of us all. A Father can't be a woman. When He said, Let us make man in Our image, He made a man first and then the woman, taken from man. So how could anyone ever think that He is a she?

Can you figure out the sex of Nature.
Being men or women is a natural phenomenon, a gift of nature.
God portrayed in the form of human beings or any other living form is to add value to life.
Thus God is Nature and originally is neither man nor woman.

i believe that God can appear as any gender that He wishes to. the figure of the Father comes from His child with mary. Since she was female, the consenus is that He is male.
i do not believe that God looks like a human. although He says that man was created in His image. it is my belief that this means that we are given a soul. that soul being the tie between God and ourselves.
i would like to hope that God is not a slightly overweight, balding man.....snicker...snicker...snicker

Gods are above Gender. They don't care what sex you apply to them as you simply do it so that you're human mind can comprehend them. Gods do not have penises, they do not have vaginas. There is no need for them. The very concept is laughable.

I think of Him as a man, but i think that is a cultural thing. The Bible refers to God as He and Him, but it's correct grammatically, when you don't know the gender to use masculine.
"God is a Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth."

Neither. But the inadequacy of the English language requires either a gender-specific pronoun (he or she) or an object pronoun ("it"), which both fail miserably.
