Bible Question: Did God mention his/her gender in bible? |
Bible Answer: "The description of God as 'father' is under attack today in certain circles. It is charged by some that this leads to a false view that God is a male. This criticism should be taken seriously in that God is not a 'man' (Num. 23:19). He is a Spirit (John 4:24) without sexual parts. "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." (Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible, page 247). |
