I personally believe in the devine feminine, until the last 2000 years mankind as a whole believed in her also.

Perhaps you've never met God because you haven't been paying attention. God is neither a man nor a woman. God is beyond that. The best way I can think of to describe God is to say that God is like a diamond, with infinite facets. The Christian God is one facet. Allah is another. Yahweh is yet another. Call upon any of the Pagan gods and goddesses and you're calling on even more facets of the same God. We, as human beings can only recognize what we understand which is why every single person in the world has a different view of God.

What we understand as God is like a whole dimension of
reality. If God spoke to us, the whole world would shake. If
God talked to a puny humans mind, that human would blow up!
The Source of Life is complete. It isn't until the Lifeforce
leaves the Source that it breaks down into what we understand
as the masculine and feminine.
The feminine flows from the Source to us. And the masculine
from us back to the Source. They meet at differnet levels
in order to help sustain LIFE!
Lifeforms chose to take on the role of male or female. And once they do, there is a polarizing, magnetic pulling effect, that
makes us dominantly masculine or feminine.
But our spirit is made of both, and we can find some balance
within if we recognize this. Both apsects of the Lifeforce
are POSITIVE. Because one could not exixt without the
other.

Yes, in fact God was a women until about 2000 years ago, when the Romans came along and forced their beliefs upon the Pagans. Death or conversion. Not a happy choice to say the least.
In some countries, America is one of them...God is still a Woman to all of the Pagan faith.

Humans give names to things that exist. I believe humans really don't have that much imagination. In fact I believe, every fictional entity is a result of an amalgamation of different existent things.
So, since the concept of a higher being exists, namely, God, and the name for that concept exists, ergo, God exists.
Why couldn't God be a woman? Besides, would it REALLY matter? For me, It doesn't. God is God, a being of transcendence, a being free of constraints such as age, gender, color, or race.

God will never come to you till you've achieved a certain state of closeness to Him.
You can certainly feel him, whenever you needed help most desperately, He came and helped you when you thought, he's your neighbour or brother etc.
We are humans and we need genders to grow and keep ourselves alive.
He doesn't need to do that. In fact, in Hindu scriptures it is mentioned that all the animated world is just a soul and our gender is a cloth on our soul based on the deeds of our previous lives.
So, be aware of the situation and devote your life for all and sundry. A self aware person according to scriptures doesn't even differentiate between humans, animals, plants and microbes. they are all just a soul for them like that person.
God has clearly stated that you just devote your life to me, I'll be there for you always and the way you like me to seen to you. Then God can come in the shape of a woman also.
Enough or still confused or maybe more so!

I doubt God is neither woman or man if it exists. If it was of human form, the world would cease to exist today I suspect since humanity has a terrible habit of destroying everything good.

God is infinite. We do not have the capacity to see that which is infinite. Gender has no meaning for God. We refer to God as a male in the same way refer to Man meaning man or woman. It is linguistic shorthand.

some people have claimed to have met him or had a sight of him so it is possible but i guess what really matters is your own beliefs at the end of the day. god could also be a woman

if god existed then he definatly could not be a woman, coz 1 a woman would be more sensitive, and take care of the world, and 2 she wouldnt mess the world up this much! but no one realy knows or can say so.....

I met Him but it was a spiritual meeting, the spirit in me woke up when His spirit came to me.
It was out of the blue and not preached to me or prayed to me.
Other people who have died and come back also met him.
God is both male and femal, we use male terminology to make it simple but parts of the bible describe god as having female characteristics ie mother
We are made male and female in his image, just one gender wasn't enough to show him in the world
