No offence intended. Just asking as I felt, woman are greater than man. I'm a man. I was wandering why God 'made' Mary gave birth to Jesus when he/she is so powerful. Why not create? God please forgive me for asking this.

The second stage of Jesus’ life course began when God sent his Son to the earth. Jehovah did this by miraculously transferring the life of Jesus from heaven to the womb of a faithful Jewish virgin named Mary. Jesus inherited no imperfections because he did not have a human father. Jehovah’s holy spirit, or active force, came upon Mary, and his power ‘overshadowed’ her, miraculously causing her to become pregnant. (Luke 1:34, 35) Mary therefore gave birth to a perfect child. As the adopted son of the carpenter Joseph, he was brought up in a humble home and was the first of several children in the family.—Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22, 23; Mark 6:3.
the bible says HIS son and HIS firstborn so god is a HE.
BUT A SPRITUAL HE.

I think God is much more than a he or a she but if we were to be one or the other he would be more masculine. I think He is called he so that we can understand kind of what he is like. I guess he was born of the virgin Mary because he had already planned it that way and it was written as a prophecy. Jesus had to become a human in order to be our high priest and savior. He had to know what it was like to be one of us and see what we go through in order to save us.

Well he has always called himself the Father, so God is a he. He used Mary because the only way to save humankind was to become human eventhough he was still God. Remember the story of Adam and Eve, well humankind was doom, except his original chosen people (the Israelite). However, Jesus (God) came because he had compassion of us, and the only way to save us was for him to die and pay with his blood.He is the only pure thing that saved us.God bless and start reading the bible.

We know that God is a spiritual being, and does not possess physical characteristics. This does not limit, however, how God may choose to reveal Himself to mankind. Scripture contains all the revelation God gave to man about Himself, and so is the only really objective source of information about God. In looking at what Scripture tells us, there are several observations of evidence about the form in which God revealed Himself to mankind:
To begin with, Scripture contains almost 170 references to God as the “Father.” By necessity, one cannot be a father unless he is male. If God had chosen to be revealed to man in a female form, then the word “mother” would have occurred in these places, not “father.” In the Old and New Testament both, masculine pronouns are used over and over again in reference to God.
Jesus Christ referred to God as the Father several times, and in other cases used masculine pronouns in reference to God. In the Gospels alone, Christ uses the term “Father” in direct reference to God nearly 160 times. Of particular interest is Christ’s statement in John 10:30. He says here, “I and [my] Father are one.” Obviously, Jesus Christ came in the form of a human man to die on the cross as payment for the sins of the world, and, like God the Father, was revealed to mankind in a male form. Scripture records numerous other instances where Christ utilized masculine nouns and pronouns in reference to God.

He or she is not applicable to God. He is omnipotent. God can do anything. He created Adam without father and mother and prophet Jesus miracle birth confirms that the words "how" and "why" do not mean anything in the matter of God.

The Christians called God a HE because in English the word "god" is masculine, but "goddess" is feminine, but in Hebrew the word for "God", YHWH, aka Yahweh is feminine.
Women are "powerful" because they literally gave life. Christian said "God" created life, so "men" are more powerful. Bible is full of contradictions. Ask God "Why not create?"

The term Male/He/Father is not the same as MAN.
Man is the Creation of God called HuMans, together we call mankind Male & FeMale.
Male/He means to create to bring forth.
Female means to recieve.
She recieves what the male brings forth, the seed of life.
God refers to his gender as male for this reason because he brought forth all into existence.
God is not a Gender He Is GOD.
The language that is used is for our comprehension of His ultimate role to us.
FATHER/CREATOR.

If Christians could look at things rationally, rather than with fear of death and wishful thinking ruling their brain, They would realize that their male god is just one among countless male and female gods created from different myths.

usually the original language the scriptures were written in, don't have a word for a man or women, some languages have the same word for man and women, so in translation they probably just chose He, in islam God is not referred as He or She.
