So why is God usually spoken of as male? God is the creator of life. Women create life. I believe God is considered male because we live in a male dominated world. God is a woman. She is Alanis Morrisette. 🙂
There is no other rational explanation for the world that exists.
<grin>
Seriously.
Until the world and/or universe shows some sign of being rational... don't pull for a woman to be in charge. It makes perfect sense as it is to think that balls and bluster can 'splain it away.

Originally posted by stokerA fertilized egg can now be created without sperm. But, yes, it takes two to create a baby, but the child grows in the mother, and the mother does most of the nurturing.

God is the giver of life so he is male? That is ridiculous! That does not make God male! God is not a corporeal entity, so how can we know that God is male or female? You are you are assigning what you consider to be male attributes to God to justify your beliefs.
Who said Mary was doing a lesbo act???? If you believe in God as the creator of all life, then can God not , male or female, impregnate Mary?
Moses, like all men in the Bible, lived in a male dominated society which, of course, would perceive God as male. 🙂
Originally posted by RBHILLI think if you added the second part of that verse it would give it a little more meaning.
God is a male because he is always refered to as a man look Jesus was a man.Genesis 1:27a So God created man in his own image,
What is happening in Genesis is that God is creating in the order of higher and higher levels of creation. I don't think you would dispute that. We find Adam lonely. You remember everything that God created was labeled as "good." But with Adam we first here the term "lo tov" (not good) to describe his situation as he is lonely. Eve is a further and higher level of creation as she brings him to consciousness (awareness). This concept is so much more important than whether God is a man or a woman. God is the creator of completion.
