Bible Question:
We are having a discussion here at work and I have been asked does God have a gender? Man or Woman? Whats the best reponse here Cheers |
Bible Answer: petethemate: Fantastic question, and you have brought out a good response from the Forum. The LORD Almighity is YHWH in Hebrew. In some English Bibles the YHWH is translated YEHWEH. YEHWEH says that the personality of Yahweh is like a mother hen, showing a very lovinf nurturing Lord, and YEHWEH also shows a very strong protector. Neither male or female is YEHWEH, yet shows the very best of both male and female trates. Consider that YAHWEH made both male and female in the very image of YAHWEH. In translating this to humanity Scripture was given in the forms we cand understand, male and female termology. I hope this helps and nor messes up the understanding of others who have given their views. Any thoughts? justme |
