While in the past, God was viewed as a mighty male authority figure, some people are changing the idea to make God without gender, age, or distinguishing characteristics. God is less a specific person but every person, much like Ishvara, the infinite personal being of the Dvaita school of thought in Hinduism. I guess the same analogy could be made for Brahman, too, if one has different beliefs.

Ishvara predates the Bible by at least 4000 years, if you count the ancient Vedic tradtions.

YES u r right. Most of the events n stories written in bible r actually copied from original Hindu texts.
Hinduism is the oldest, recorded, complex n organized religion.It predates Judaism n christianity.
Do u know about Lord Krishna's birth. When He was going to b born , His uncle tried to kill all small babies born in the city.But He was saved n taken to safe place.---- This same event has been copied n printed in bible as story of birth of jesus n the attempt of harrod to kill jesus.
I think many other events n concepts have been copied from religions predating christianity , esp. from Hinduism.

As long as the Christian concept of God is based on the Bible, it will never fundamentally change. You see in Genesis 1:27 or 28 that God made both male and female in His image. That means He really doesn't have a gender. However, if you hear someone refer to God as She, you are probably dealing with a gay or a radical feminist, or someone of a different religion. The Bible always refers to God as "He," "Him," masculine.

The Bible is the only revelation of God. He hasn't evolved.
He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
It is the weak minded humans that are confused.

God's always been viewed as a male without genitals. that's how He describes Himself.
He's always been ancient. hence "the Alpha and the Omega"
God hasn't changed.

"God" and all the other fictional xtian characters all have stolen characteristics from other cultures and religions, more specifically, the ones that predated it.
