We seem to live in a male focus society. We reffer to god as a "he" and Its insulting to me as a man to say that the illussive thing called devil is a "he" There seems to be a lot of focus on the being called jesus too! He was proberly nothing more than a wise man philosopher? but hey..what about women like Marie Currie who worked out a theory of xrays radiation? Or Amilia Elmhart who flew the first continental air flight across the seas in a small airplane? So why not women can be enpowered as to being a Goddess Creatrix too? I think its propper to refer to these mytholic illussive beings as an "it" and take off the male focus if we are naive about its gender.

I would never think of the Great Architect as having something so mundane as a gender.
Lonnie: That was funny. Do you think that those MEN that wrote the Bible might have said "created in HIS image" because women were so beneath them they would never have been able to even feature this entity might not be a man? Very funny. It truly was a MAN'S world, not a huge surprise that their writings reflected that.

What gender do you need to be to be a FATHER? What gender was Jesus? Can a father be female? If you read in John 1, you find that Jesus was the creator of the universe as everything was created by Him or through Him. He was male and that makes Him a he, not a she or it.

God is referred to as HE cause he set man as authority over his wife just as God has authority over all the earth. Therefore he assumes the role that immitates His true character. God is spirit though. He is Lord cause he created us. If he came as a woman then he would be below men....beucause women were created by God to be companions to men and to be helpers...then he would be saying the same about Himseld see what i mean? But god is spirit in His true form.

Okay, so firstly you don't even believe in God and you are trying to tell us who do believe what to call Him?
God said "I AM". So that means God is everything.
You are right though, sort of. Putting a gender label on God does put limitations on Him.
But again, you don't believe in Him, so what do you care?

None. Since He is a unique individual, He is not the product of sexual reproduction and thus He has no gender.

I agree with you all the way... I believe that neither gender is the 'creator'
