Why is god always seen as male?

In Genesis chapter 1 we are told that man (mankind; as opposed to "a man") is created in the image of God, both male and female...

And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27)

Therefore, we should not be surprised if God has both a "maleness" and "femaleness" to Him, so both men and women can relate to God. God could be considered as motherly (hen)

So, could god be a woman?

It is more a linguistic issue than a religious one .......I suppose . No one knows what the creator is according to all religions .

It's just an easy personification of God invented for the convenience of man, and the Bible was written by males, and during a time when women were still regarded as a less-than "species" by men.

How many times do you need to hear this? God did not create man in His physical image. He is a spirit. And clearly God has no gender. There you go belushi, I have primed the pump for the real questions you are about to ask to which you already have heard the same answers countless times. Who knows? If you keep asking them maybe God will tire of you and answer them Himself? laugh flowerforyou

I dont think I could drink that much alcohol ... noway
Never mind, keep taking the tablets, one day they will let you free from the white coat and the padded room. laugh

So, what you are saying is that I shouldnt take the bible literally, I should interpret it so that it fits my ideas?

Ok ... riiiight now I understand. (I think)

Could I be right then, when I said that the bible is one of the reasons for the slow take up of "equality for women"

Because the bible says women are posessions?

I think you could. I see your beak and raise you two fifths. laugh
Quite frankly, I don't give a rat's arse (hee hee) what you hear. I simply see you baiting the hook (kinda girly I might add) with the same old questions which we have heard from you time and time again and have been answered time and time again which leads me to believe that what you wait for is hapless prey to come along and innocently answer your question not knowing that a trap was set by you for the purpose of belittleing their beliefs.huh bigsmile
