If he is neither male or female, why do we call him Father then?

Yes, I beleive in Ma and the Lord. But I beleive She created Him, He being Her firstborn. Therefore, She is above the Most High.
I beleive together They are the Divine, yet separate (not one in the same).

Male gender; God the Father
Female gender; Understanding (God the Mother).

God definitely has a wife. This is yet another misinterpretation by modern Christians. The Bible does not call us God's creations. The Hebrew word is "baurau" which literally means "to organize." Meaning he is responsible for organizing our being (implying we already existed in a particular form). This is further expounded upon with scriptures such as Acts 17:28-29 which refers to us as Gods LITERAL offspring... not creations as well as in Hebrews 12:9 referring to God as the Father of our spirits. God's gender is male (most obviously proven by Jesus being male) and he has a mate from which our spirits were born.

God is whole and complete and only we humans are divided into male/female. The angels aren't gendered (?) but just are. When God made/created Adam, he also was whole and complete but because he desired a companion of his own kind..(not an animal) God put the boy to sleep and took his "feminine principle".., (I say "his heart") out and placed it in his face. Still men have a hard time accessing or getting in touch with their heart..
After "the Word" became flesh, He was in the male body, the man Jesus. The Bible speaks of Him as the SON of God. God creates with SPEAKING WORDS. When the virgin conceived the Christ in her womb, it was because she 'received' the WORDS God sent her by an angel and she said, "Be it unto me according to your word". Your Words are very powerful and the Bible says, "death and life are in the power of the tongue". Believe it and know we are made in the likeness and image of our Father Creator God.

God is neither male nor female, so God is both mother and father.

Well, God is neither male nor female, but he is called 'he' because that's the way it was back then. Men were supreme. I don't believe in God, but I think mother and father God is a good idea! I believe in Goddess, though

The ultimate creator/universe is neutral.
There are many deities within the universe that are male, female, both, and neither.

Personally, I agree with the Bible. But, whether I agree or not, the fact is that God exists in the form of 3 persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. No where in the Holy scriptures does God claim to be "mother." He has revealed Himself to man in many ways......through scripture, through manifestation, through the birth of Jesus, through the Holy Spirits visitations and indwelling in man, through dreams, and through acts on mankind.......none of which indicate He is "mother".

Since God is a spiritual being, God does not possess physical human characteristics. However, sometimes figurative language used in Scripture assigns human characteristics to God in order to make it possible for man to understand God. This assignment of human characteristics to describe God is called “anthropomorphism.” Anthropomorphism is simply a means for God (a spiritual being) to communicate truth about His nature to mankind, a physical being. Since man is a physical being, man is limited in his understanding of those things beyond the physical realm, and anthropomorphism in Scripture helps man to understand who God is.
That is a portion of the "article" about God from the great website, "gotquestions.org" cited below. Read the rest for more details! Have a blessed day!

I believe there is a mother and father God.They are separate not one though.
I think most of the sightings over the years of the virgin Mary is actually Mother God.
