Answer 2

i totally believe in wot u say.....if u dig deep into hinduism, u'll find the same answer,but no1 has the patience to read all the vedas...

if u want u shud check out the creation hymn in the rig veda, its beautiful....

i m a hindu by birth, but have explored all the major religions and have decided tht religion is a very personal thing and no organised religion can give tht kind of peave and freedom....

CREATION HYMN.

Not even nothing existed then
No air yet, nor a heaven.
Who encased and kept it where?
Was water in the darkness there?
Neither deathlessness nor decay
No, nor the rhythm of night and day:
The self-existent, with breath sans air:
That, and that alone was there.
Darkness was in darkness found
Like light-less water all around.
One emerged, with nothing on
It was from heat that this was born.
Into it, Desire, its way did find:
The primordial seed born of mind.
Sages know deep in the heart:
What exists is kin to what does not.
Across the void the cord was thrown,
The place of every thing was known.
Seed-sowers and powers now came by,
Impulse below and force on high.
Who really knows, and who can swear,
How creation came, when or where!
Even gods came after creation's day,
Who really knows, who can truly say
When and how did creation start?
Did He do it? Or did He not?
Only He, up there, knows, maybe;
Or perhaps, not even He.

isnt it wonderful tht even in holiest of hindu texts there r questions? its an eternal journey to find god......

Answer 3

"God" is so far beyond our mortal comprehension, I believe, that we cannot begin to understand. This Being is part and parcel of EVERYTHING in the entire universe(s) - and therefore is both male and female and also neuter. Spirit is incoporeal, therefore there is no body and therefore can have no gender as we define gender, but Spirit is a creative force, is love, energy, space, time, is both transcendant and ascendant, meaning both within us and without of us and all other things. God is the 'glue' that holds reality together. This vastness is so huge that we, has humans, have taken facets of this Being and created our own versions of God. In the course of human history god has been both male and female or, sometimes, both.

Answer 4

Not too many female gods are referred to as "our Father" and "God the Father".... But God doesn't have a gender, but God isn't an "it", God is a Spirit.... hey, God isn't an "it", he is a "spirIT" ha. Sorry I'm amusing myself. Yet I think it is disrespectful to refer to God as "her". In the Greek, for instance, to say "him" or "he" did not necessarily establish gender, it could still be neutral. However saying "her" DOES establish gender. But hey, at least the word for "church" and several other words in Greek were feminine.

Answer 5

I learn t that God is the God and God is a spirit. Nothing more. No one told me whether God was man or woman. If he was one then I would want to know where he came from and who are his mother and father.

Answer 6

i believe God to be an energy also
a light that we came from and return to in the end
it makes no sense for me that God would be a physical being and need a gender
i am spiritualist

Answer 7

God is just God in any language except in English?

Answer 8

God also has personality and form[perfect-not like ours-imperfect]Radha and Krishna are original femal and male personalities of the Godhead

Answer 9

I believe in both a God(male) and a Goddess(female)

Answer 10

according to muslims faith definition of God is
God is one and only
God the eternal, absolute
He begetteth not, nor is He begotton
and there is none like into Him

Answer 11

having a gender is an idea, a concept, something we THINK it is. God or whatever is beyond ideas, concepts and thinking.
