Is God male or female?

Question

Does God have a body?

Answer 1

Your second part of the question partially answers the first part. That is, God does not have a body like human beings which is limited by sex. It is infinity and source of all energies and all activities. Hence, it can be bound by either of the sexes.

Answer 2

If God is Male or Female then He will not be God because he will have a partner like him. God is soveregn and unique, and there is no one like Him, no mate , no son and no father. This is logical for the concept of God.
God has a body?
Body of what! He is present everywhere but no one is sure if Light, Force, Field or what form.

Answer 3

What does this matter? If He has a body, if He's male or female. People can talk and invent many things, but the most important is what is in you, your religion, your relationship to Him. Maybe for males Ha can have a male face and to woman a female one. Doesn't matter! And if He wants to have a body probabily He could have. But once again, it doesn't matter!

Answer 4

The Bible says (though I forgot exactly where) that God is a spirit. If you check Genesis you'll see that God "created male and female" which means that He is higher than both, and could not possibly be one of the two categories.

Answer 5

The god of man's imagination may be male, female, neutral and be limited in some physical forms.
The One True God Who sends down His Divine Messengers to educate mankind is far beyond all human understanding and imagination:

"Praise be to God, the Eternal that perisheth not, the Everlasting that declineth not, the Self-Subsisting that altereth not. He it is Who is transcendent in His sovereignty, Who is manifest through His signs, and is hidden through His mysteries. He it is at Whose bidding the standard of the Most Exalted Word hath been lifted up in the world of creation, and the banner of "He doeth whatsoever He willeth" raised amidst all peoples. He it is Who hath revealed His Cause for the guidance of His creatures, and sent down His verses to demonstrate His Proof and His Testimony, and embellished the preface of the Book of Man with the ornament of utterance through His saying: "The God of Mercy hath taught the Qur'án, hath created man, and taught him articulate speech." No God is there but Him, the One, the Peerless, the Powerful, the Mighty, the Beneficent.
(Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 1)

Answer 6

Both as the CREATOR It knows duality.
Since we are living in a Patriarchal society All the Names for GOD have been changed to masculine. before the Israelites changed from a Matriarchal Society all the power and names of most deities were with the feminine.
The Creator needs no physical form.But those facets of ITS body that it threw off to become the souls of all that was and will be gives the Creator the physical forms of all that it created.

Answer 7

Why not both? Yin and yang? Did God not create both sexes? Patriarchal societies like the Catholic Church have biased concepts of God.
And I do think that Mary Magdalene was a disciple.
Why all men?
If Jesus wanted to experience humanity, wouldn't he have related to women, too? Of course he would.
Scripture has been manipulated for political purposes.

Answer 8

Hi Anwar,All the facts point to God having male attributes,Jesus Himself called God His `Father` and taught us to do the same.

Answer 9

God is the alpha and omega,the beginning and the end .he is in all things.he can never be defined as any one thing even a man or women.God is the tree and sunlight that makes it grow. he is also the ran that gives it life.as well as the fire that burns it.these are the term in which you must think of God.never limits that power.

Answer 10

One would think that an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent being would transcend gender.

That said, the god of Judeo-Christian religion is constantly refered to as "He" in the Bible and other religious works which suggests that it is male.
