Doesn't the assumption of a gender mean that there are naughty bits involved? If you look under God's robes, would you see woman bits or man bits? If not, then shouldn't refer to God as "it"?

With all due respect, we are images of God. God is all. God is everything. God is light. God is great. God is good. God is a loving God. God is everywhere among us today. Why do you think people don't believe in him? They don't believe in him because they chose not to, or they don't understand God. We as humans will never truely understand God. But we know that God does exist. If it wasn't for God nothing would be here. God is the creator of all things. Man considers themselves inventors and creators. But they are not. If it wasn't for God man coudn't invent nor could they create. God gave us life, and our own free will. As it is written in the Bible, God destroyed the world with a flood. God created a token of his promise that he won't destroy the world again. That token is a (RAINBOW). Man is destroying the world this time. Thats why God is not doing nothing but sitting back watching the world being destroyed. God had tried to talk to us but people are so darn stubern to realize what is really going on. Man think that they can conquer the world. As each day goes by the world is getting shorter and shorter to the end. Satan is really running this world, along with his followers. Read the book of Revelations. The end of time. Days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer, its hard to distinguish from one season to another. Jesus will come to gather his people. Not trying to talk about your religion but there are so many religions in this world today. Nevertheless there is only one God. For those people that believe or not God will prevale. When Jesus returns, there will be a war between good and evil. But the good will always win. Why do you think that man is killing man? Armageton is among us all. That means the end is near. And also the beginning. My opinion is the end of the world of sins, and the beginning of a new life with Jesus.

My own opinion on this is that God was and is referred to as "He" simply because in biblical times men were the leaders of their families and in their local community, and it was only natural to see God as being a "male" deity that was in authority over mankind. Some denominations have changed the "He" to simply "God" in their music and speech. That means that some of the older, rewritten hymns will sound a little awkward, but it gets rid of the gender mentality. "It" is a little too generic though!

Pure spirits - God and angels - do not have gender. Why would they? The purpose of gender is reproduction, and they don't reproduce. God however has chosen to reveal Himself to mankind in a Father image, which makes it logical to refer to God in male terms. Also, God impregnated Mary in order that His Son might become human, which again suggests a certain maleness. On the other hand, all true love is a reflection of God, Who is love. This would include not only love of a man for his wife, but love of a wife for her husband; love of brother for brother and sister for sister; children for parents, father for children, and mother for children. So God encompasses the fullness of human love, not just masculine aspects of love.

The Source of Life is whole, complete. It's not until the
Lifeforce leaves the Source, that it breaks down into we
understand as the masculine and the feminine!
Anything else is just an Ego trip!

Look under the robes and you'd see nothing since there is no God.

Jesus was a man. Jesus is God. God is male. Why else is HE always referred to as a HE in the Bible. Mary gave birth to a baby boy, not a baby girl. hopes this helps you out.

God is Spirit. We refer to Him as He, and Father because the English language has no neuter personal pronouns.

I do the it sometimes, or he/she, or just god at every spot I would use a gender specific remark. But it doesn't really matter to me, I don't know if there is a god.
