Matthew 22:30
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Luke 20
The Authority of Jesus Questioned

34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.

Maybe in heaven it is all different rules compared to earth but for now we have to live this out, the battle bewteen good and evil freedom of choice, right to rule and be kings, every out come has a reaction good or bad it makes the world what it is, I guess if we want God back we have to mean it, the least time did not turn out well.

Ok firstly, as abit of a joke between some of us girls we say god is a girl, plus theres a few bands who have said it in there songs like Tatu, but to me God is everything in life, im not religious as religion is the destructor of mankind and the true meaning and rules of religion have been distorted over time and most who practace it are hypocitical sinners, the most common rule broken is thall shalt not judge the, which is the complete oppisite of what these religious nutters do, and then they kill people for not being religious! wether god is a woman or not, im sure if she was she wouldnt let half the stuff that happens to women happen at all, how you know god is a girl i have no idea but i appreciate your views, it would be a relief if God was a girl, but being of sexual desier? i think your exerting your own sexual desires through fantasey into relality.... keep it in the bedroom :/

this is a stupid subject, probably started by a brainless Womans liber.

no, you aren't very literate when it comes to the Bible. And you don't seem to understand the ancient cultures, or the idea that God is Spirit and created the material world where he defines Himself in the masculine only for our limited understanding as we understand only in parts.
You see, you gave us all a tell about YOU Fixate on sex much do we?

Sad how little understanding there is today from those that are haughty and proud. This thread is obviously troll bait as there doesn't seem to be much knowledge exerted by those that think they know something.

Well, nobody REALLY understands the ancient cultures, or god, don't you think? None of us was there. People only imagine this or that version of it, according to their own personality. So many currents, so many completely different ideas, all from the same book. And this is because the bible is full of contradictions, so everybody pick up whatever they want and ignore the rest, so they can make some sense out of it. There are interpretations, and interpretations to interpretations, and assumptions around nothing more than few words out of context; no wonder one needs tons of faith to stick with it.

Just like you interpret the same words through your own understanding and faith, I do the same. To me, the predominant note through the whole bible is that of a male character. But of course, the holy spirit isn't upon me to show me the obvious interpretations of the otherwise simple relation between a male (the father), a female, (Mary) and the resulting son (Jesus). What do I know?
Other than that, I don't think I misquoted something. And you didn't actually addressed my arguments, only my interpretations. Not sad, just funny how we look at the same thing and see different animals...

And just to be clear, I addressed the god depicted in the bible, not the idea of god in general, or any other concept of divinity.
Too much noise for nothing; I completely agree that this is a troll thread. I found the OP question amusing and superficial, to begin with, so I answered accordingly...quote..."just for the fun of it..." No offense intended to anyone's faith. Relax.

To me anything that would be considered a supreme being and omniscient would be beyond gender and genitals. Different cultures around the world have differing opinions as to what a supreme being even is. To some its a white haired dude cloud surfing, others a mother figure. Then you have even older traditions that say they accept that there is a supreme spirit but it is so beyond our capabilities to comprehend that its not even worth trying.

Personally I think that "God" is more of a universal consciousness of every thing that is, has been and will be. So something that great would be persistent in male creatures, female creatures, asexual creatures, plants, rocks, bacteria and so on. That is my two cents. There very well could be lesser spirits that have an affinity to certain aspects of our physical realm such as stories of animal guides for example.

I thought gender was only a condition of our incarnation into a dualistic realm and that above the human level, gender is nonexistent. I'm not sure spirit has a gender....

The cover up as to God's gender was very successful. There is no book in the bible being true about God's gender. Not even the books Jesus' words are in. Proving that Jesus is with the cover up. There is also no Christian religion teaching the truth to God's gender.

Link: Genesis 1: The Beginning

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Link: Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer

1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”

Hmm... What an epic fail of an anti-christian thread.

Well... If God is indeed a woman....

It would explain the silent treatment.

So god being a male is not ok but god being a female is?
I'm pretty sure the bible does mention god and Jesus being males though and don't foget that Mary had god's son so if god was female.....well.......

As I am sure someone has already pointed out, any religion that uses the Abrahamic books of the Bible, which are basically the religions with the largest following, since they believe the Bible are forced to believe that God is a male. Why you ask? Well it is simple, considering that the Bible refers to God as "He" or "Him" in multiple locations. What more does a religious individual need?

Of course men have that presence and in fact is mostly men that give off that presence.
