Yes, God has no gender.
We as humans need to use one gender or another when speaking of God, and the bible uses the male gender when referring to God.
The bible often uses the male gender when referring to all humans, men and women alike, so this isnt just reserved for God.
When the bible speaks of mankind, it means men and women, not just men.
God created them, man and woman. God is neither male nor female. Way above our understanding, but still awesome none the less.

God is of spirit, which is what He made us after.
Genesis1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Then in Genesis 2, God put those spirit/souls into bodies of flesh.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:21-22 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
deep sleep Gen 15:12
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
It's not complicated at all.

Makes very good sense.
Jesus said, "Ye shall know them by their fruits" meaning when it comes to reading people, look at what they do and what effect that has on the world overall, as opposed to what they say. Talk is cheap.
The idea of judging by one's fruits most likely applies to God as well. If we humans are his (or her) fruits, then yes, God is male and female. This is similar to the Daoist concept of a balance between Yin and Yang (good and bad, black and white, conservative and liveral, and all the other polarities). No doubt this is why God has a sense of humor, why Jesus taught that we should not stand in judgement of one another, and why Buddha talked of the middle way.
Great question.

God is complete and perfect . He made man in his image, thus giving him the same qualities. When He made the woman out of man, He gave her complimentary features. Thus when a man and a woman are married they become one flesh, a team, both of them having qualities that complete the picture. So i agree that God is sexless and had both qualities.

or cockroach.

I agree. God made "Adam/Eve" in His own image, He subsequently separated the man whom He had made into two---Adam and Eve. The image of God in our race is therefore carried by the man and the women in equal weight.

First issues first - kudos to the virginity! that's an totally confusing distinctive characteristic to nevertheless have and that i applaud you. Secondly - yet another kudos for staying actual on your values...additionally no longer worry-free, particularly in immediately's international the place intercourse is everywhere (observe even video interest advertisements are commencing up to ooze of it?) Now with what i pass to declare. that's totally cliche reaction, so please do no longer roll your eyes tooooo plenty :) Stand enterprise on your ft. It does not sound to me like he became forcing you to do something you probably did no longer prefer to do - it sounds like he became indicating his needs, became hoping you will have the comparable needs, in spite of the undeniable fact that it did no longer sound like he became going to make you do something you probably did no longer prefer to do. your friends are suitable, i'm afraid. He became soliciting for it...yet this is the considerable word - ASKING. He wasn't asserting "we would desire to oh infant" he became only seeing the variety you felt. while you're uncertain approximately having intercourse, leave it out. do no longer do something you're actually not a hundred% specific you prefer to do. you're sixteen years previous - you have YEEEEAAAARRRRSSSS to journey intercourse, there is not any think approximately dashing and years later regretting that selection. And be completely a hundred% straightforward inclusive of your BF. If he's an updstanding guy, he will completely admire your needs. are not getting me incorrect - he will possibly proceed to attempt, yet he's no longer forcing you, he's no longer attempting to declare you will desire to or lose him...he's only attempting out the waters. i'm hoping this enables slightly. I only re-study this (to verify no longer something offensive, sexist, or in any different case) and understand how previous I sound - i'm 23! I misplaced my virginity at 17 and that i became totally uncertain approximately no rely if i had to realize this or no longer...I would desire to have waited. no longer inevitably till i became married, only till i became waiting. that's a decision I experience sorry approximately, yet fortuitously i comprehend i'm no longer the only one. Be your individual individual, and you will never experience sorry approximately it!

It is a human flaw to assume that God is male. We say " Him " to make the idea of the Creator more palatable. It would be just as valid to say " It " or "her" since I have yet to see God's testicles.
