If God is above space and time, why isn't he above gender? I find it stupid to think that God is male, since God exhibits femenine traits as well, and well... God doesn't have a form so how can he be one gender? What makes something male? You know what im talking about. So if God lacks the physical aspects of male, but could be seen from his portrayal by the bible to have not only male traits, but female traits, why is "he" considered male?

I know God is above gender... That's what I'm saying.

Christians are the ones that mainly refer to this God of theres, so why do they contribute to the already prominent illusions and false images of God by going along with "him" being male?

i just say he cuz its a lot easier then "a perfect entity that is above gender" lol, i rather just say he

^ exactly... its as simple as like in grammar, it is accepted that using "he" to refer to an unknown person instead of "he/she" in a paper is proper

I speak for myself when I say that the reason I consider God to be a man is because the Bible refers to God as "He" "Him" and the "Father"

That's just my personal opinion. But I honestly find no importance in it.

What about referring to God as "it?"

"He" has obviously caused a lot of misunderstanding.

Well I've never read anywhere that God is considered "it" so that's why I formed the opinion that I have now.

I try not to use he when refering to god because of that exact reason.. I dont think god is anything like a man or woman..

Sometimes it slips out though...

If you're basing your opinion off the bible, you should probably consider the descriptions it gives of God... Aside from referring to it as "he" and "him," it makes absolutely no sense at all for God to be male..

You have to remember back when The Bible was written, many people were sexists and racists. The man dominated the entire world, and women had absolutely no power. If you look in the Middle East, it's still that way for the most part. To say He meant he had immense power and was important, to say she would have degraded him at the time.

And the reason it has not changed is pretty simple. God has been referred to as he for the past 3000 years, I don't think it's gonna change by now. Also today, he is accepted as a form of referring to something without being gender specific. Another loop hole in the loop hole we call American English.
