Do you think God is a "He" or "She"?

Thanks for the welcome. Though, I find it interesting how many refer to the divine as a he when me and a few friends of mine (and we are talking about Christians and Jews) who use she instead.

No, Shaddai did not create man first. Originally, he created "ha=adam" which means the human. It is not until Chava, or Eve as most know her, is formed from Adam that he is ever called "ha-essh" the man. Considering the original account in the first chapter says he created "them" male and female and the use of ha-adam....he created a unisex human and then realized that he needed company and then made Chava the female and transformed Adam into a man.

The answer has to be 'neither'! If you accept that there is only one 'God' ... that is a single intelligence that is the Creator of all (and therefore IS everything that is created, because how could created matter have a separate existence from the creator?), then that Creator cannot be separate 'male' and 'female' since it is Unity and all matter. On the other hand, because Creation seems to involve opposites and sexuality (male/female and other kinds), it must also include it. We are humans and consider ourselves more aware than other animals (though, who knows ... it may be just that our invention of a fairly complicated communication system has led us to think that) and so we suppose ourselves to be more aware of 'God' than our fellow creatures. How can we be so sure? Do we really know what goes on in a cat's or a dog's mind that we can say that they don't worship their creator every bit as much as we (at our most aware) do ours? What if our animal brothers know instinctively, without the intervention of scripture and endless wrangling, what, because of our invention of language, we can only see dimly? What if we are the poor benighted brethren, hampered by something we call 'intelligence' who are trying to make something as simpke as 'oneness' into a complex system of personality which is like unto yet greater than ourselves? What is simpler that that 'God' IS?

well they do call it our father in heaven not our mother in heaven so i guess i believe he is a man.

If your basis is the Bible, Jesus calls God,"Father". In Christianity, we consider God also as our Father. But as we know it, the word FAther cannot be taken literally. "Father" means in a broader sense, like being a family provider, etc. As we remember also in the Bible, that God created man first, and only created a woman from a part of a man's flesh. Does this mean that God is a man, too? I think that God has a masculine side and a feminine side. We can't say which is more dominant. I also believe that God has no gender whatsoever. If one day it will be discovered the gender of God, it won't matter to me.

Gender? What use is gender when you are the only of your kind? While I can understand the polytheists and the like who have multiple deities...the idea of there only being one deity who consists of any deity always seemed rather strange. Within our own world gender has only one purpose and that is for reproduction. Within species which reproduce asexually there is no gender. Unless a deity would have the need to reproduce, having a gender seems pointless and wasteful. Though most try and point to the idea that the divine is both genders because he/she has the qualities of both genders. To be honest, considering that depending on culture and religious/philosophical views, those qualities seem arbitrarily defined and as such I cannot see how there are any qualities which are inherently male or female. Though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and I think gender when concerning the divine is also in the eye of the beholder. Even though I, and a few others I know, view our deities as genderless...we generally refer to the divine with he or she.

i don't think God has a gender.
