I was at the mall a few weeks ago and was approached by 2 girls wanting to discuss the bible. I let them do their thing figuring its going to be the same old thing you hear from those that like to chase people around and talk about the bible.

I was actually surprised and enjoyed the discussion instead as they brought up the idea of the possibility of a female god. Not that the male god does not exist but that the 3rd part of the trinity is actually the Father, the Son, and the Mother (labeled as the holy ghost).

There were a few spots in the scripture where it says we, and us and this is during the old testament so before Jesus. And it makes sense to write out the female as the time frame of the original writing and disseminating of the completed bible was in a time when females were not respected, and most certainly not be considered an equal.

I wish I could remember the various scriptures they were pointing out.

Also they hit hard on the whole day of sabbath being all wrong as it clearly says the 7th day is the holy day and we do the whole church thing on Sunday the first day of the week instead of Saturday the 7th day of the week.

Biblical Hebrew actually has both male/female terms for God - even though there isn't really a gender attributed.

Differences between Gregorian and lunar calendars I suppose.

There's one male God. Jesus is God. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit is One and the same.

I believe in God. I don't care how others believe, doesn't bother me. I think God will appear to you as you want him to look. If you picture God as a female, God will appear to you as a female.

In my mind, God is a man with wavy white hair that flows just past his shoulders. He has tired blue eyes and a white beard that reaches his chin...yes, my God looks like a mountain man I am realizing.....lol

I think God is genderless so it is fine to call him, him or her.

In Judaism, G-d is genderless. Calling him “he” is simply a matter of habit, but he has spiritual characteristics that he implanted in one gender or another, so we see them as “male” characteristics and “female” characteristics.
Considering G-d with a gender is how gender inequality starts, because obviously the gender of G-d is superior to the other one. When we understand that G-d is above gender and He created 2 genders to complement each other, neither one being above the other.

Other religions have dualities and gender in their deities. Other religions have multiple deities, representing the different aspects of humanity. I don't know why the idea of only one deity just took off in the Abrahamic religions.
