If God is a masculine word and Jesus refers to him in the bible as his father does that suggest that God has male genitalia and if so what does he use them for?? Because if he doesnt have male genitalia and organs then he can't be a male can he??

To classify anything you should first atleast have two members. God is one, one means just one. So, you can't classify God as male and female.
as per his physics, that's beyond our imagination.
As per word God being male. Its simply because of language. We are Used to use male gender for God.
We can't call God "it" because He is alive and source of all lives. So, we either have to use He or she. In almost all languages "He" is used.

Though Christians state the He is the only God, even He has stated there are others. Obviously, using typically Christian logic, either God is gay or there are Goddesses about. To back up the Christian logic with some of my own, God must have had a template of sex and male abilities to have children when he decided to create women. He could have just gone on creating men if he wanted the populate the Earth.

God is a Spirit Being - He uses the male gender designation for Himself and the Father image so that we might understand in our tiny pea brains the relationship within the Godhead and the relationship to us. He has all the attributes of the parental authority figure, provider, protector etc, just like our earthly fathers should be. He has no need of "sex" because He does not "procreate" - the designation of the Son of God for the second member of the Trinity is again one of relationship (not ORIGIN). For the Son is fully God just as the Father is fully God. But the function within the Godhead and the relationship among the Godhead is completely different. The only way to understand God is to use His revelation of Himself to us - not to try to "figure" Him out by our understanding of ourselves.

Most interesting question and demonstrates you are not prepared to follow any blind dogma. Main problem with our western culture is arrogance, for example the British spent 300 years dominating India and robbing its riches but took no advantage of the Spiritual treasures to be found there.
In the Indian scriptures westerners become confused as there appears to be so many different Gods. There is of course only one but God has many aspects and they comprise in Christian dogmas only three, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. (The hierarchy being comprised of misogynists cannot bring themselves to say Holy Mother. In Indian scriptures one might say they have a Mother and aunts and uncles too that have represented different aspects in various eras). Indian scriptures however, give a detailed account of how the Goddess is created and sent to fight all the most evil forces. She is endowed with all the powers of all the Gods and as a consequence is the most revered. The Devi (Goddess) only has to desire a being be created and it is so (Immaculate Conception) and therefore one can see there is no requirement for reproductive organs for any aspect of God.
There are several references to Jesus within the Indian Sacred texts (Ganesha and Mahavishnu born of Immaculate Conception) and in particular how he is to be worshipped, the most explicit being an instruction that he is to be worshipped before all others Deities including his Mother and Father lest the fruit of the rite is lost.

You pose an extremely stable question. One i've got heard many situations, and thank you for no longer being advise lively in asking the questions or putting everyone's faith down. In Islam, we don't think of of Allah (swt) as a guy or lady. God is a no longer a being, no longer a human nor something which would be so purely comprehended. And as for the "He" reference continuously in books and the Quran, "He" is the final English translation so some distance for the Arabic be conscious. So while God is stated as a "He" it does not advise that God is male, that's purely the closest translation of that Arabic pronoun.

I have long wondered about that too.
What I hypothesized without any real physical data is that G*d was able to create a fertile egg by his conjured sperm and Mary's egg. Thus conceiving a human form for him to come to earth in.
Now I am not catholic or any christian religion but if Jesus was real and everything than that was one way HE could have done it.
I personally think that if Jesus existed it was more a conjured sperm and Mary's egg creating a son with attributes of a G*D. sort of like Herculie's with different types of abilities. Not physical strength.
I don't see G*D as male or female or neutered. He is who he is. The male pronoun does not necessarily denote male genitalia.

Every time an angel comes down to earth, he chooses to be a male. But angels are sexless. Spirits are sexless. But imagine if an angel came down as a woman 2000 years ago? They would have told her to get back into the kitchen where she belongs! God associates himself as the Father, because he is the Head of the family. It's symbolic. Nowadays, though, I bet angels would come down as women. We have more rights now.

God is not male or female, the original word for god in its reveled language which is aramic the sister language of arabic is Allah. He doesnt have human charateristics so no organs, eyes, body, ears etc. He sees everything but has no eyes, it is beyond the human capability to comprehend a being such as god as we tend to personify everything which is not human.

God is spirit...not human. The only aspect of God that has a human body is Jesus Christ. God created marriage and sex within marriage for pleasure between a husband and wife and procreation. Since we are HUMAN and God is not...we can't always compare everything...this is one of those things.

God could be male and female or whatever you like to believe. Could be your concious or your invisible guide in life. If your a guy and brought up to believe in god. If everything and everyone died in your world except youself...would you look up at the sky or down at the earth.
