Subject: Is God male as opposed to female? |
Bible Note: J Chrichton, Thanks for your response. I am in no way suggesting that God is female nor do I hold that God is inherently male. The classic definition of male would be someone who possesses male reproductive organs. I do not believe that God is male or female. Rather, the 1000 plus references of God's fatherliness or masculinity seem to me as being allegories moreso than anything else, so that we may better comprehend God with our finite minds. In other words, we understand God by utilizing references that we already know, such as "father" or "man". Therefore, God chooses to communicate in this way. I don't believe that a mortal mind can truly comprehend God's full nature, so these allegorical concepts are used by God. - Reighnskye |
