God chose to reveal Himself to humanity as masculine. So I think we should respect that decision.

The 'gods' invented by women say, in Malta 10,000 or more years ago naturally had female attributes but when male dominated religions came to power the female gods were relegated to history.
As will yours in time.

OK so what is it, and why?
The "god" principle is actually feminine in nature, however there are many facets to what "God" or "god" entails depending on who you're talking to and also in what context.
Of course there is no god who is the ultimate perveyor of the whole universe, but there are various forces that act in unison to create the manifested universe which we in habit.
"God" , the unmanifested energy that pervades all is genderless , because it's unmanifested nature

For the Christains, Muslims, most American Indians, Jews, and a few others, God is a Male figure. I'm uncertain of many other religions and groups. However, if you believe there is a God or Supreme Being, just stick to it, and don't worry that someone else might think He, She or It. In the end, you will find, God Loves!

Originally posted by karoly aczelGod has both masculine and feminine qualities. However, He used a woman to birth a Son to manifest Himself in a fleshly body. Referring to Jesus, the apostle Paul wrote, "In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Jesus Himself said, "If you have seen Me you have seen the Father." Jesus called God, His Father.

Jesus was not called the daughter of God, but the Son of God. And all Christians acknowledge that Jesus is God in the Flesh.
HalleluYah !!! Praise the LORD! Glory be to God! Holy! Holy! Holy!

Originally posted by karoly aczelI was thinking God might be thought of as genderful, and everythingful. What could there be of (in, about etc.) the universe, that is not of God?
