Does It Matter Whether God Is Male or Female? Does She Love You Any Different?

No I mean everything man does to women in G-d's name He Better be male or She is a b!tch.

but G-d being male makes all that stuff men do 'okay'?

You mean women don't go through ANYTHING while G-d's just a b@stard & not a b1tch?

Genesis 1:27 implies that the male and the female can both be called "man", so while the male was created directly in the image of God, the female, though made from man, is still also in God's image. But God does reveal Himself as male rather than female.

Well, in English the word 'man' can mean male or person, a male was originally a wapman and a female a wifman. So, it is implied by the word 'man' though if it is also implied in the Hebrew is another matter all the best, urban

Maybe "God" is more like a 'council' of deities---like King Arthur's Round Table or the Executive Branch of U.S. government ... since He was always saying 'Let us create such-a-thing or do such-&-such.' Genesis 1:27 says "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Maybe man was originally 'both sexes' (much like Lady Gaga was once rumored to have been), and G*d took out the part that made Adam a lady. (In Genesis 5, it says He created male & female and called them Adam )

But maybe the Church SHOULD BE the husband of Christ our wife! Think about it: the husband goes out and does work to bring treasure to the wife at home, just as the Church must bring the 'treasure' of newly-saved souls to Christ in Heaven! Does Christ go out and make the money for donations to give to the Church-congregation? No! He's a good woman, taking care of things in Heaven until we finish enough work to go back to Christ there.

It depends whether you think the Scripture is binding on you or not. It's the Scripture that calls the Church the Bride of Christ. And actually, the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 bringeth her food from afar.

Verses 10-31 are an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 [b]She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.[/b] 15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (12) Does that mean he knows her from birth? like King Arthur (Sean Connery) knew Guinivere (Julia Ormond)? (23) Does this mean that it's better to marry in older age? (28) Does her husband praise her instead of G*d (i.e. praising G*d through her? Where does one find such a worthy woman? At http://www.proverbs31.org/about-us/ maybe?

Sing it, soul-sister

mythociate LOL..you bet

But 'it' DID impregnate the Virgin Mary Was she still a virgin if G*d was male? Does female-on-female action count as 'deflowering'? If G*d were an 'it,' would that make the Immaculate Conception 'beastiality'?

Thank you. But why would it make a difference? (just trying to stretch this thread into one that's BR-worthy )
