No, I don't believe that God has a gender in the sense that humans have genders. God is both male and female, and yet neither.

Jesus was created a male child, and grew to become a male adult. Jesus referred to His Father, and taught us to pray, Our Father...
The Holy Spirit is gender neutral and no reference that I know of was stated.
I believe God is masculine because of the teaching of Jesus Christ.
I do not know why God decided to create His Messiah as male. Undeniably Jesus was the Son of God. This I believe as a Christian.

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.
All the rest is just an Ego trip!

no he is sexless like the angles in heaven, but Adam was made in the image of God so if God did have a gender it would be male.

Jesus said: Our Father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name.
so jesus referred to him as father. Technically, Angels are not male or female. They are direct creations by God it says in Psalms 148;4
They are spirit creatures or persons like God is. Says flesh and blood cannot inherit the heavens. Jesus came to the earth as a man. When the angels that sinned saw the daughters of men that they were good looking and left their possitions in heaven it wasn't to sleep with another man. But they wanted women.
That tells me they are male.
The bible always says God's son's.

How could something formless have a uterus or prostate?
We ascribe certain qualities to God, such as that of a loving father or mother, but we know very little.

"Speak freely" if he has no gender, then why did you call him "he".
D'oh. If god exists, which he doesn't, he'd be a male. As far as I know "god" is male and "goddess" is female.

Does he even have a name? If you were all-powerful, would you call yourself something lame like god, jhvh or allah? And wouldn't you tell everyone what your name was so people wouldn't keep arguing over it

GOD
Since nothing resembles God therefore God is unseen, unfelt and untouched. Since inception no one could see God and no one can see God and God is realized only through Gods Creation and Gods Mighty works and that is the most magnificent mega fact.
God created the conscious, senses of the creatures and enabled them to see and hear, so that they could ponder over the creation of things and realize their God and their Lord. God commanded them through messengers to have faith in One Alone God Only and all messengers left behind the same message.
GOD IS GENDER-FREE
When God created things, God created them in pairs. All males and females are creatures on earth and in heaven and God is gender free because God does not resembles with Gods creatures.
God is The Absolute Holy in Gods Holiness and Only One Alone God in Gods Oneness and Loneliness.
God is One which does not means One in counting but One because there is no other God. Absolute in reality and ultimate in creation.
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.
The Absolute Creator
Almighty GOD, the Creator who creates and no one is able to create like GOD.
A Mortal can never create a male or a female.
Fish lay eggs and eggs lay fish and every fish is a male or a female, in the world of GOD.
By the grace of GOD, mortal can make many things, but mortal can never create a male or a female. Without male and female birth of a seed is impossible. And even if a mortal can make a model of a seed, it’ll be without soul. And seed without a soul is not a seed because it cannot grow. And soul of the seed formulates its life and body.
Mortal must ponder over the egg and should think about the water turning into a living creature. Mortal must observe how a seed breaks and comes out of the earth and then turn into a green tree. And then how flowers and fruits appear on the tree. And how after that they change their colour and ripe. And what a time when fruits change into the sweet flavours of their kind. Only One Alone Almighty GOD holds all this. And creations resemble not with GOD.
Mortal when sees the sweets of a sweet maker, never reject the idea of the sweet- maker but when mortal sees fruits he has doubts in the making of the fruits. And these doubts never accept the fruits as a creation of GOD. Though fruits are much more complicated in creation, better in taste, useful for health and identical in shapes, colours and flavours and then contain their seeds which mean trees of their kind. Though mortal knows that a mortal is not capable of making males and females and their seeds yet claim one’s self a wise and refuses the existence of the Creator.
Let the mortal know that the knowledge of the mortal is sufficient to accept the existence of Absolute Creator; it’s only one’s doubts that make one unwise.
There must be no doubt in the Creator because no one can make a seed and never will be able to create a thing which comes out of a seed or egg. Be kind to your soul, believe in one Alone GOD performed good deeds according to the GOD commandments and wait for the Day of Judgment coming ahead
