I have studied the scriptures and I feel deeply that He has put His female faces and being in my heart.... Why cant I be now His female faces as a daughter of God as a girl is the female expression of her father ? ( As Genesis says that male and female are the image of God... now in me thru the blessed Cross of Jesus )

No where in the Bible does it say that God has a face of a Man or a Woman. So yes you can be a reflection of God's image if you are female.
But I believe being a reflection of God isn't physical at all. Jesus was his reflection because Jesus showed the true face of the Divine, he was perfect in Kindness, Love, Courage, Loyalty and Faith
He was a Selfless Giver of Hope, Joy and Comfort
His was a Nature of Peace,and of Harmony.
So, whether we mortals are male or female, do we really reflect the image of God Divine? How many people of pristine beauty are Mean, Intolerant and Vicious? If so, do they whether Male or Female reflect the true image of God? Or does a simple, old and wrinkled Nun like Mother Teresa really show what God's face REALLY looks like... a face of Kindness, Love and Compassion for all humanity great or small.
P/s: One of the Bible God's name is called El-Shaddai which I was told is translated as the Many Breasted One... interpretted as one who feeds the multitudes with his/her very being. So... maybe God has a feminine aspect too?

First off, The followers of Yahweh are not even allowed to call Him by His name. Next, they have removed all mention of His wife, Asherah. They if it wasn't for the fact that the Holy Roman Church needed Portugal (where commonly the mother rules the household) because of their exploration of the new land they would have removed almost all mention of the Virgin Mary. Modern day Christianity and especially Catholicism hasn't come along far enough as of yet to allow even a woman priestess. And you want to be the female face of God? There have been several female faces of the Divine but they have been hidden or removed from view.

Confused on this question.
God is neither male nor female but spiritual form.
He (Christ) stated no gender in Heaven between people just like Angels have no gender.
God/Christ can appear in any form just as Angels appeared
to people in Bible.
God is not limited in Power.
But we are limited in understanding his ways and thoughts.

The Lord, Our God says:
“Worship no God but Me” in Ten Commandments and in Quran God says “There is no God but the God Alone” and in Gita, Krishna says:
“People need not worship any demigod, they need only to worship the Supreme Lord”.
Worship means to show oneself lowly before God and to ask God for God’s blessings. While God means the Worth-Worshipping-One Who is Omnipotent and Who can punish for sins and bless for obedience.
“There is no god but the God Alone” means, no one is worth worshipping but the Omnipotent.
“Worship no god” or “There is no god” further clearly means no one is able to become god by any means.
To honour God or to serve God means to trust God and to act according to God’s Commandments.
We should believe God as God commands us to believe. If things and persons could ever become God then there would have been no need to declare that “There is no god but the God Alone”.
God is Absolute Holy and God should be believed as Absolute Holy according to the Commandments.
Creatures of God are creatures of God and can never become god through any kind of efforts, knowledge or realization.
1.“Nothing is alike God”
Or
“There is no image or idol of God”.
(Quran and Bible’s Ten Commandments)
2.“I____ and I alone_____ am God”.
(Torah: Duet: 32:39)
Since intellect can not develop or make any image of God therefore God is Unimaginable and beyond of intellect. In simple words “Nothing is alike God”.
Before the creation of human beings and all the things, God was Omnipotent and Absolute Holy. Then God created the creatures and made them male and female to keep the process of creation in progress till the end of time.
God is Holy since ever and will remain Holy forever.
God is not a male-god.
Our God, the creator, created the sexes and the process of sex. To keep the creatures grow. God is gender free. Among creatures males and females are limited entities, because males can never be considered as females and females can never be considered as males. Our god is absolute Holy. We can not consider our God as a male-god or a goddess.
Male is an entity, a thing on earth, because a male is a kind of sex. Since God is Absolute Holy and God is the Creator of males and females, therefore, we can not consider God as a male-god or a father-god.
If someone considers God, as a male or a father, then, it clearly means that he or she believes in an imaginable god (demigod) and does not believe God as the gender-free God.
One should ponder over this question that if God was not a male or a female before the creation of sexes and was Alone & Absolute Holy then how after creation of sexes, God became a male or a father?
If God is a father-god then how we can consider such a god as an Absolute Holy God?
Whosoever speaks of the gender of God, he commits a tremendous sin because God is Absolute Holy and is the Creator of sexes.
To understand God’s Holiness, we must pay heed to this question:
God is a father-god or God is a Holy God?
God effected the process of birth of creatures or God created the creatures?
If God possesses one or more wives and God one way or the other, effects the birth-process and these wives give birth to human beings, only then we can claim that:
1.God is a male-god
2.Our God is our father
3.We are the children of God
But if God simply commands “Be” (KUN) and creates whatsoever God wills to create, then no one is justified to call God as a male or father-god.
God is our Holy Creator, God is not our father, neither physically nor spiritually.
The entire God-revealed –scriptures tell us that God created human beings and every thing. All Alone, therefore:
God was Holy,
God is Holy
And
God will remain Holy.
No doubt, those who consider God as a male-god, a father-god or a man-god (demigod) they have no justification to call God as a male-god, a father-god or a man-god (demigod) at all.
WE ARE NOT GODS
Ponder over this Question:
If we are the children of God then why we are not gods and goddesses?
God said,
“I____ and I alone____ am God”.
(Torah: Duet, 32:39)
A father and a mother and their children make a family and an alone person is not considered as a family or a father.
If God says, that God is an Alone God then how we can call God as a member of a holy family or a father of human beings.
WORD FATHER
Image-making of God is an act, which is equal to the enmity of God in terms of the Ten Commandments and the same act is also an act of idol-making.
Word “father” contains an image of a person who is firstly a male and secondly a husband and thirdly a member of a family and fourthly the word “father” is not an image-free name. Therefore, the word “father” is not suitable as a name for God as God is image-free, gender free and Absolute Holy.
We must believe in God as a Creator of everything in heaven, on earth, in water under the earth, instead of father, who is a limited entity on earth.
God says,
“How God can be a father of someone when God possesses not a wife”.
(Al-Quran)
Calling God as a father-god, a male-god or a man-god is an act of diminishing the glory of God’s Holiness and Aloneness.
Since children possess the status and structure of their parents and do not differ from their parents in design, therefor, human beings are the children of human beings.
If we are not gods and goddesses, then, how we can be the children of God. Who is Absolute Holy. We are lowly and helpless creatures before our Almighty Absolute Holy God.
God says!
“God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. God has made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby God multiply you. Nothing is alike God and God is the Hearer, the Seer”.
(Quran 42:11)
“Glory be to God Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth grows and of themselves and of that which they know not!”
(Quran 36:36)
Therefore, the people under heaven should not call their Holy God as a father-god or a male-god and should not commit a sin by saying that we are the children of God.
One should be very very careful in the matter of God and not ascribe things unto God of which one does not posess any authority as assaulting things, partners, son, daughter, amte unto God is an unpardonable crime and one should ask forgiveness of ones sins as the Day Of END is approaching and it can strike us at any time.
GOD WAS HOLY
GOD IS HOLY
AND GOD WILL REMAIN HOLY
AND GOD SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED AS GOD HAS COMMANDED ALL OF US TO WORSHIP GOD AS THE ONE ALONE ALMIGHTY GOD
