Not much of the Bible was written by women. Kinda an unfair slant there if you ask me. Won't alot of you be super suprized if after you go to heaven you see cleavage?

I really wouldn't be surprised to find out that God where are woman. It actually makes a tad bit more sense than God being a man.

The only reason YHWH is referred to as "he" is because the societies where people first began to worship him/her/it where patriarchal and could hardly imagine women in a leadership role let alone an all powerful one

but women did play a BIG role in the Bible. Jesus was born of a virgin woman. so w/o her.. we sorta couldn't be saved, right? we call God a he because he's our Father in heaven so... as far as i know a father is a man.

I don't think he's either. If he is real, I belive he is just a spirit, with niether female nor male qualities. If he is God he can't have those human qualities. Why would he need reproductive organs?
i say "he" cuz it sound better than "it".. but i'm not biased.

Oh course god is a man. Would a woman order a genocide? The killing of every man woman and child?

In countless references to God in Scripture, there is clearly a consistent pattern of His being referred to with masculine titles, nouns, and pronouns. While God is not a man, but is a Spirit, He chose a masculine form in order to reveal Himself to mankind. Likewise, Jesus Christ, who is constantly referred to with masculine titles, nouns, and pronouns, took a male form while He walked on the earth. The prophets of the Old Testament and the Apostles of the New Testament refer to both God and Jesus Christ with masculine names and titles. God chose to be revealed in this form in order for man to more easily grasp who God is. To assert that God chose a female form to be revealed to man is not consistent with the pattern established by Scripture. Again, had God chosen a feminine form, there would be more evidence in Scripture of that. That evidence simply does not exist. While God makes allowances in order to help mankind understand Him, it is important to not try to “force God into a box,” so to speak, by placing limitations on Him that are not appropriate to the nature of who He is.

God has no gender.
He is described as a He based on the description of his relationship as "Father" and the culture of the time.

Assuming God is all knowing then why would god want to be a girl. God would then know that no one would listen to a thing that was said and just look at her chest.

There are two gods mentioned in the creation story in Genesis. One is Yaweh, the other is Elohim. Elohim is a plural word, and it was Elohim who said "let us make man and woman in our own image." So there it is!

I have always believed that it is very limiting to think of God as solely masculine or femine. God by definition could be anything or everything.
