he refers to male who know if God is only a male maybe both sexes or maybe even female...or if God is the greatest thing of all...then he/she/it can not be just another human being right? so "it" must be a power of some kind...

son of God could also refer to a mother as being a God...and remember we are saying that God came to earth in form of man but that is only according to one religon..not all..and plus the Bible is written by "he" right a male...not she or "it"

All the holy texts were written by men for men, ofcourse they would call God he! when thebible aswritten, women weren't allowed to learn to read, let alone read the bible. Compliments of "men" like Paul.

It is not a person and can be considered derogatory. GOD created Man in HIS own image therefore we refer to HIM a a HE.If you didn't know the sex of some ones baby would you refer to the baby as an IT ? and how do you think the mother would take that remark?

God is a He. God is always referred to in the masculine. Jesus is God in the flesh and he is a man and God. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as a he also (John 16:8 for one example)

God is the creator the alpha and omega and God is a "he" cause man was created in his own image so God must be a male.

The Bible says many times that God is a He. Plus, when He created Adam, He said He created him in His own image.

He is God, sounds male to me, how about everyone else? Does God the father, God the Son sound like male?

the book says God is beyond describing, but the same book describes a Him walking around looking under the bushes to find Adam and Eve after they committed the sin of going off of their diet.

I refer to my God as HE. He was referred as a man in the Bible and I think he is not subject to gender.

"it" would kind of be like reffering to an inferior rank, and the reason why people call him a "he" is because he came to earth in form a a man, not woman.
