Bible Question: What are some distinctly maternal and distinctly paternal characteristics of God? Where in Scripture is there support for these? |
Bible Answer: "When God is referred [to] as a father, this is simply the use of a metaphor in which he is likened to a kind and loving father. Elsewhere God's love and care can be compared to that of a concerned and caring mother (Isa. 49:14-16; Luke 13:34)" (Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible, page 247). |
