Rather, they show God having a trait which is being illustrated with a female analogy. These unusual occurrences do not erase the clear teaching in scripture that God reveals Himself with masculine pronouns and a masculine role.Lindsay Haroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094965953749825163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576985008275511255.post-41786538987173237782022-07-12T09:14:22.445-04:002022-07-12T09:14:22.445-04:00You clearly never read the whole Bible.

God is spirit and is neither male nor female however he's best represented in the 'masculine' form but still shows 'female' traits (if we have to label things at all) Matt 23:37, Isaiah 66:7 to name a few. As humans we only really raise this issue as we're obsessed with labelling things to suit our position of belief. There seems to be women using these verses to support female ordination and men who use God's 'masculine' authority to Lord it over their households etc. The real point and beauty of seeing God's personality in both genders is that we can truly revel in the fact that both male and female are made in his image, and now in Christ Jesus, we are a he is, holy righteous, loved, perfected.

Mankind has the very breath of God in him. This set apart Man from the rest of creation. Something of the eternal was placed in us. All of creation may dissolve but the human spirit lives on. BUT where do these spirits go after their flesh is dead? It all depends on what we do with Christ.ChapMarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495635892707195542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576985008275511255.post-57489859869098008562017-12-31T21:07:59.460-05:002017-12-31T21:07:59.460-05:00Of course, God the Son came to earth as the man Je...Of course, God the Son came to earth as the man Jesus who was and is both God and man. So God the Son does indeed have a body.

We have limited knowledge while He knows everything. We exist only in a particular location but He is omnipresent. So while we are similar to God in some ways, being rational and having a spirit and so on, we are only an image of God, not exactly like God.<br /><br />Some false religions, such as Mormonism, teach that their god is or was a man just like us. This is not consistent with the teaching of the Bible and thus reveals that their god is a different god, not the God of Christianity.Lindsay Haroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094965953749825163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576985008275511255.post-2927942969018108912017-12-31T05:00:33.438-05:002017-12-31T05:00:33.438-05:00Hang on.

Or at least looks like one? I have always been taught that God is a man. Not a normal man, obviously, but his appearance is similar to that of a man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
