Is God male or female (Bible Q & A archive #7)
Question #7
Is God male or female???
Answer
First, God is a Spirit and does not possess human characteristics or limitations.
Second, all the evidence contained in Scripture agrees that God revealed Himself to mankind in a male form.
God’s true nature needs to be understood. God is a Person, obviously, because God exhibits all the characteristics of personhood.
God has a mind, a will, an intellect, and emotions. God communicates and He has relationships, and God’s personal actions are evidenced throughout Scripture.
John 4:24
¶ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
John 1:12-13
12. ¶ But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {power: or, the right, or, privilege} 13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
The prophets and the apostles of the Old Testament & New Testament refer to both God and Jesus Christ with masculine names and titles. God chose to be revealed in this form in order for man to more easily grasp who He is. While God makes allowances in order to help us understand Him, it is important to not try to “force God into a box,” so to speak, by placing limitations on Him that are not appropriate to His nature.
