| | Is God a Woman or a Man?Page 1 of 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) | The Xians say male.
The Pagans say female.
The Hindus and Sikhs have a mixture of both.
Who's right?
As shocking as this may seem, God does not need sexual organs! Wow! God does not mate with animals, does not urinate, and is not affected by pheromones. As shocking as all this is, it is TRUE.

| Is God a Woman or a Man?
Posted: 12/21/2005 12:48:49 AM | I`m getting in over my head but.. I always figgered that 'God ' portrayed the male aspect and Jesus portrayed the female aspect, God , the one who acts, Jesus as the one who reacts. And the Spirit in all and thru all and..
As the counterpart humans portray the female to the protector, provider,male.
reacting only to God is right. Acting or playing God is wrong.
So God is both male and female but only as the traits of each are expressed. The Old testement God acting and the new testement Man reacting.
That`s too heavy even for me. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 6:32:30 AM | Here's a premise:
While Most Montheistic religions believe that 'God' is male, and Jesus for the Christians is also male, how about the third part of 'The Trinity', The Holy Spirit?
Jesus said when He left Earth, to return later, He would leave with mankind "The Holy Spirit" (or the 'Comforter')
I don't remember it stating anywhere referring to The Holy Spirit was male or female, How about the possibility, the Holy Spirit could be considered 'female' in personage?
That way, One could say that 'God', in the Trinity connotation, is 'Both' male and female? | |

That was before the part where he took the rib out of Adam to make Eve.
If you go with that then there is a duality in God. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 7:11:16 AM | ^^^EXACTLY, SFL...
Very good point.
Note too, it also says God said let 'us' make man(kind) in 'our' own image.
I always had though of that as God talking within "The Trinity" as it were, so, to also the female part of 'God' as well.

Posted: 12/21/2005 7:45:47 AM | | Accepting the premise of God, wouldn't questions of gender be irrelevant? It always seemed a little silly to me to anthropomorphise the concept of God. Assuming such an all encompassing entity exists, it seems a little myopic to think of it as being a specific gender. Gender evolved for sexual reproduction, why would God need to sexually reproduce? He, she, it, whatever, would no more need gender than a clone would a navel. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:59:36 AM | | Technically, God would have male genitalia, female genitalia, both, and none at individual times and at the same time, and neither at individual times or the same time. This is the nature of a paradox. | |

One would think that one's "meatball's" would be another part of the male genitalia.

Well, then again, the Bible speaks very clearly about men providing for, nurturing, caring for, and loving their wives, and ONLY their wives as the only woman in their life...
If one compared that to some of the male mentalities out there today, then one could say that in fact, a 'woman' had MUCH to do with writing that.

Posted: 12/21/2005 11:57:29 AM | Luke 20:34 Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are married, but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. Nor can they die anymore, for they are like the angels and, since they share in the resurrection, are God's children.
One could assume that marrying in the heavens is not going to happen then they would not have genitalia.. But are like angels...That actually raises another issue, that some believe that angels had sexaul relations with women in the old days and that is were the giants came from. However, it seems to me that the angels would be sexless.. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 12:20:18 PM | Does God have genitals? Maybe a uterus?, excessive back hair?, Male pattern Baldness? Gets cranky once a month and worried about fat ankles?
The idea of using human atributes to describe God is legitimate, since it is describeing something we can not understand by using terms we can understsnd.
But getting carried away and thinking that God is defined by human atributes is wrong. It is taking anthromorphisim too far IMHO. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 12:34:46 PM | I guess the point I was trying to make is that unless a person truly knows God and who He is and what He can do that it is a dangerous endeavor to try to assume anything about Him.
case in point when i first started studying the bible , myself and some friends would make up studies from the concordence to bring to the next time we got together . well i thought my study would be "if God made everything then He would be evil as well as good. "
the study was going great and the last point was to be looked up . i thought this is it . i`m gonna prove it.
i opened to the page and all i read was "who are you to question my name" don`t ask me where it was .I slammed the book shut . didn`t look at a bible for 2 years. all my study books got lost in a move .
His name is not something to mess with.
not that anyone was but ... and my point is that when Jesus was asked about sexuality that is what He said. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 12:48:22 PM | Many ancient civilizations believed that the universe was created by the gods out of a sexual union.Monotheism promoted the asexual creation as far as I can tell.
My answer is niether.
Jesus though could've been a woman and here are three proofs.
1)Prepared a meal of 5000 with only a moment's notice
2)Preached a message to a bunch of men who still don't get it.
3)Had to get up even after death because there was still work to be done. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 1:05:26 PM | Actually God must be a man.
1) According to Barbie, "Math is hard."
2) Ergo women cannot do mathematics.
3) If women cannot to mathematics then they cannot be engineers.
4) God is a chemical engineer since only a chemical engineer would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area (see the Human Body)
5) Since God is a chemical engineer and chemical engineers can't be women it follows that God must be a man.

I'm sure there are many out there that will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Paul wrote that, not God. | |
