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: God is God. God created all things. That includes gender itself. Male and female human beings with their capacity to reproduce through sexual union are the creation of God. God's very transcendence makes any question of His gender entirely academic and moot and totally beyond the tether of human understanding. It is always well to bear in mind that God created man in His own image and to guard against man's natural proclivity to create God in man's own image. Anthropomorphism is characteristic of worshipers of pagan deities, but it has no place among worshipers of the God of the Bible. It is something that no true Christian should ever allow himself to fall prey to. --Hank |
