He isnt human (labeling as Man or Woman assumes humanity)

Answer 2

Female is energy of God who is male and is energetic.
When we say energy(female) the natural question is whose energy. It is God's energy. God is energetic a male and God's energetic is male.

Satyaraja dasa(Steven Rosen) wrote a book "Om Shalom", a conversation between Satyaraja Dasa and Rabbi Shimmel.

Satyaraja Dasa (Steven J. Rosen), comes from a Jewish background and has been studying Krishna Consciousness -academically and as a practitioner-for the last seventeen years.

Rabbi Jacob N. Shimmel, a halakhic scholar originally hailing from Prague, Czechoslovakia. A rabbi for over twenty years, and Founder and Director of the Talmud and Torah Beth Rabbinical Association.

Satyaraja Dasa: What are some of the other, authentic names for God as found in the Bible?

Rabbi Shimmel: One of the most prominent is Elohim (“The Almighty”), which occurs about 3,350 times. This is related to the Semitic El (“Divinity”). El can be found in the word Israel. El Eliyon is another related name. These can be found throughout the Bible... all substitutes for the Tetragrammaton... YHWH. Another name, used less frequently, is El Shaddai. Of course, in everyday parlance, we usually say HaShem... this is the commonly used name. HaShem merely means “the Name.”
But, you see, the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, this represents the actual name. It is known as the shem hameforash, or “the explicit name.” This is the one that is honored by the mystics. Each of the four Hebrew letters—yad, hay, vav, and hay—is said to reveal various aspects of the highest reality.

Satyaraja Dasa: There are Indian scholars who have had some thoughts on this. Yadavayah, they say. Another name for Krishna. They say this could be the name... it has the appropriate letters.

Rabbi Shimmel: [laughter] They took their best shot.

Satyaraja Dasa: [laughter] Gross speculation. Ser-iously, though. There is a correlation that can be made between the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and the Tetragrammaton. It may be considered speculative, but there is definitely at least an abstract connection, a correlative feature. The maha-mantra is made up of four connecting names: “Hare Krishna” and “Hare Rama.” Of these four, three are different: you have “Hare,” “Krishna,” and “Rama.” Now, in the Tetragrammaton, you have four letters: the “yad,” the “hay,” the “vav,” and the “hay.” Now of these four letters, three are different: you have the “hay,” the “yad,” and the “vav.” Furthermore, according to Kabbalah, the “hay” is considered feminine. Correct?

Rabbi Shimmel: Yes, that's true.

Satyaraja Dasa: So also is “Hare” considered feminine, since it refers to mother Hara—Radharani. What's more, in the Tetragrammaton, “yad” is considered masculine and “vav” is an extension of “yad.” Is this correct?

Rabbi Shimmel: Yes. And I see what you're getting at.

Satyaraja Dasa: Right. Krishna is masculine and Rama is His expansion. So this seems to be quite coincidental...

Rabbi Shimmel: This is the first. I mean that's quite an interesting way of looking at it...

Answer 4

Some people say they do, but it looks like they're just trying to be aggravating. I know a lot of guys who worship the concept of woman, but they usually don't show them a degree of respect equal to their desire. God is not a man or a woman. He is Spirit. He is called Father in the Bible and he came to earth as a man, Christ Jesus.

Answer 5

God is neither a man, nor a woman, God is just God!

Answer 6

God is a woman .God is a man. God is every living creature on Planet Earth

Answer 7

well if you think about it God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are supposed to be 3 parts of a whole....Jesus was a male according to the bible. Its stands to reason then that god would be male or neither.

While writing this I thought of another explanation. And here I'm just playing Devil's advocate. They are all part of a whole? Who is to say that that whole is one being? What if that whole was a conventional family. God=female, holy spirit=male, Jesus=son of god....

Answer 8

Self consciousness or soul is the only God. It exists in every creature. Only thing, we have to enlighten our God ourselves by inclining our mind submerged into soul. Mind of man or woman is no different to attain it.

Answer 9

God is not a man or a woman. Christians call God "He" because Jesus refered to Him as Father. Muslims call God He because He refered to Himself as "Huwa" in the Qur'an.

Answer 10

you should know that God created the woman out of a mans ribb
He created her as a gift - ( or as a punishment?????)- for the man --- so first the man came - after him the woman came - and she have been after him ever since - allways nagging and complainning

Answer 11

I think that God is technically neither.But for the sake of your question, I would say male, because he created the male first and then woman.
