Why does everyone refer to a supreme being as having a specific gender?

if it could be a dual purpose question, it'd be, "How and Why was the universe created?"

But I know that's two questions so, "How was the universe created?"

I figure how would partially tie into why the universe was created. besides, i can figure for myself why existence is worth being.

Why am I not a rich and famous hot sex symbol?

If your so perfect, then why are there so many paradoxes in religion.

Convenience. God appears in both genders throughout the Torah, Prophets, and Writings. 'It' would be a more proper reference, but because it has certain demeaning connotations, and there is no neutral gender in Hebrew, nobody really wants to use it.

And if you think about it, the imagery of Christ and the Bride (the church) gives God a masculinity that a woman could never have.

Christ is to be seen as the Bridegroom...which represents the male in the relationship.

He is also the dominant head of the "house", which the Bible tells us is the rightful place of the husband, who is obviously a man.

Haha Ds, sometimes i wonder if you just troll or if you really believe in what you type.

God cannot have a gender if it is perfect.

How is it trolling to use specific examples of God's descriptions in the Bible as evidence to why I think one way or another ?

I actually believe "He" is genderless.

I never asserted that "He" was a "He".

I just gave an example of...oh, nevermind.

"How are you today?"

Since you claim to be older than Wicca, I think it is deplorable the level of maturity you present.

LOL

Not in a redneck sort of way !

The most effective leadership in the world is that of a person who says nothing, yet everyone follows.

Being in the same room as God would probably cause your eyes pop and your brain to explode. But to if I could ask him one question it would be "Can I ask you a question?" and then I will have used my one question and I would walk out of the room feeling sad.

What are next saturdays lotto numbers?

Theoretically...I would ask God 'If you were in my position what would you ask?'

I would ask him "Which religion is correct?"

I'd say "God, you have chosen us from among all the Nations....so why'd you have to pick on the Jews!?"
