There has been enough said here about what was early Hebrews believed and how it became a male oriented worship.

It always was that Adam was created first. It is really not a big deal in Christianity because God is sovereign. If God identifies Himself more with male characteristics throughout the Bible, than it is clear. God knew it was not good for man to live alone. So He created a woman, from the rib of the man to be his mate.

God is spirit, so God does not have a physical body with any male specific parts. Male and female are what we have here on earth.

Do you really believe that Eve came from Adams rib. Do you take this literally or figuratively.

Literally. That when Eve was created a part of the man was used to create her.

The goal of interpretation is to preserve the original intent. Not force the literal to be figurative or vice versa.

I don't see any verses that prove that God does not identify Himself with males. Am I missing something?

Like, physically, with a body with legs, doing the walking?

Of course. Jesus wasn't bodily resurrected just to ditch it later.

Do you think He ditched His body?

I don't think a human body can survive outside of the special conditions on earth.

1 Timothy 1:17
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

John 4:24
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

But remember that during the three days until His ressurection, no one could touch Him. So something was happening.

So Christ was bodily resurrected and then.... what do you think happened?

Scripture says He does. Which would mean we do, too, based on your understanding.

Do you have feathers? I know I don't.

Do you think Jesus had a physical body pre-incarnation?
