God transcends gender. Gender is biological, God isn't.

I don't know when I began believing this, but I know believe that God (the Christian one, FYI) is essentially genderless. To be precise, He (I'm calling God a "he" due to the fact that I'm used to saying that and... well) isn't trapped in being either a he or a she; He has and is broken of those bonds and basically transcends the very concept of gender. Well, that's my take on it.
edit: Yeah, Abdul Hassan pretty much nailed it.

Jesus came down from heaven to show us the way.

Jesus told us to pray to our Father in heaven... Jesus is the Son of the Living God.

The Holy Spirit is in the form of a dove. Also of the Father God.

So, God wants to be considered as a nurturing Father. Just obey God and pray to your Father God. Read the http://www.fathersloveletter.com .

God created the first Adam out of soil. God breathed life into Adam. Jesus was born of a virgin, conceived of the Holy Spirit. He was like the first Adam before the fall in His humanity. Mary, daughter of Israel, is who gave birth to Jesus. Mary isn't God.

Sex is strictly an organic function, developed in order to make it more difficult for parasites to infest the organism. God, not having much to fear from parasites other than Ted Haggard and that lot, would not need sex.

The answer to the question about why God is referred to with masculine terms in the Bible really has only one answer: This is the way God has chosen to reveal Himself to us. God is never described with sexual characteristics in the Scriptures, but He does consistently describe Himself in the masculine gender. While He contains all the qualities of both male and female genders, He has chosen to present Himself with an emphasis on masculine qualities of fatherhood, protection, direction, strength, etc. Metaphors used to describe Him in the Bible include: King, Father, Judge, Husband, Master, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There are those who would like to blur this emphasis in some of the newer Bible translations, but it is very dangerous to tamper with the way God has chosen to reveal Himself. He most certainly does not intend to minimize women, since men and women are revealed as made in His image and of equal value to Him. But it remains that He is Father, not Mother, and even in the Incarnation chose to come to us as a man, Jesus Christ. One famous Christian scholar, C. S. Lewis, has suggested that gender is far deeper than our human distinctions reveal. He suggests that God is so masculine that we all are feminine in relation to Him. If this is true, it might explain why the church is referred to as the bride of Christ, though it is composed of both men and women.

No sex, just usually referred to as Father, because He loves us and wants to be there for us, like a good earthly dad.

When you get to Heaven, ask God the Father and He can tell you Himself.
If for some reason your aren't there, I'll ask Him for you.

I'd say God is androgynous––neither male nor female.

God is spirit and not of flesh that would hinder Him.
