Okay following my last question about the existence of a female God. I’ve come up with a few pointers on why this belief is flawed.

Firstly, quoting from peacenotwar’s thoughts, “God is genderless Jesus says in John’s gospel ‘God is Spirit’. The reason God is referred to as He is the fact he carries out fatherly duties” And I totally agree with that. God is spirit. Spirit has no gender. The only use gender has is to procreate, and since the Spirit isn’t going around having babies, there is no gender. Use whatever pronoun you want. Even the bible says God created us in his image - and for ladies their image is female, therefore God’s image to them is female. Speaking at a church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a pastor once said: “God is both male and female. God is both father and mother. … There is more than one thing under the name of God, and it is both male and female.” Come to think about it, that is quite true solely because God created us in His image. But His gender is neither male nor female, and of course, there shouldn’t be a female God since God created us, and Adam and Eve were created but definitely not through reproduction. God creates by speaking -never by any other means.

Secondly, you cannot go around telling people that there is God the Mother just because God is called the ‘Father’! And when a father exists a mother should too. Once again like what peacenotwar answered, the reason why God is called Father is due to the fact that He is our saviour, provider, and the head of the household etc, some of the duties our literal father takes on. God is Lord, the alpha and omega, has always been and will be everlasting. Since God is our creator, creator of man, woman and all earthly creatures great and small, therefore void of being descriptive into being either man or woman. It doesn’t make sense to me that a spiritual being would need any gender as the sole purpose of genders is only used on Earth for humans to procreate.
