God is gender-less, as we understand genders. Humankind exhibits all of Gods' traits and qualities. God didn't make men in His image, and women in some other image; He made men and women in His likeness (Gen 1:27). That means that God is comprised of both male and female characteristics. You can't say God is any more or less one gender than the other, because there is no "male" and "female" for Him, He is bigger than both labels.

Male and female only exist because we are animals that reproduce sexually. Unless God is part of a species that needs to reproduce, I doubt he has any reproductive organs.

Not sure how this relates to my post in any way...

What truly makes you different from a man is mostly anatomical differences and social conditioning. God, not needing to reproduce and not living in a society that tells Him He needs to behave a certain way, has neither of those things. He is as you said, gender-less.

I said nothing about reproduction or anatomy. :scratch: If you believe the only differences between a man and a woman are anatomy and social conditioning, then OK, but that's not what I was saying.

Oy veh, that's not a contradiction, lol.
Well ... it's a language construct, but also an apparent contradiction.

That said, the prophet Isaiah seemingly agrees with your earlier stance that God is neither male nor female.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.

As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.​

It's not a contradiction. God gives us a human pronoun by which to refer to 'Him' to make Himself more relatable to our puny, finite brains. I think we all know that. It doesn't affect His/Its/Gods attributes. It's merely a point of reference.
