Since God created woman, is it imperative He possess a feminine substance or essence ?

Being God, can't He created femininity without possessing any female characteristics ?

In glory men and women will be like the angels which is...


Who said it is imperative that God possess a feminine substance or essence. Please explain through first century testimonies of the apostles. Thank you kindly.

I have come across many testimonies from all denominations that were revealed by revelation from the Holy Spirit that revealed the Father figure and never a mother/wife figure.

Romans 8:15
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather,
the Holy Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by HIM we cry, "Abba, Father


By Him, who is Holy Spirit we are crying out ABBA meaning Father. How could the Holy Spirit be the wife or feminine if we are crying out to Him Father.

And again.....

Galatians 4:6
And because we are his children,
God has sent the Holy Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father."


I don't see the faithful seeing by revelation a mother/wife figure and I certainly don't find scripture instructing us to call out mother.

Well, I certainly feel that God being masculine makes more sense, and consider Him masculine myself. I am simply trying to find a biblical basis for God's gender and I am unable to at this point in time. Interesting that the Hebrews did not have gender-specific pronouns, nor male names for God. There must have been a reason why. Probably to elevate God above gender. Abba was not used in the Old Testament.

But obviously Jesus clarifies this with His use of the word Abba which means Father. And He refers to His Father much in the gospels.

God is the source of femininity, and thus femininity is a Divine Attribute.

Yes I concur.

Amen ABBA Father.

There are Three Persons in God. Just as men emphasize masculinity (expressiveness), while also having femininity (receptivity), the First Person is Infinitely Masculine AND Infinitely Feminine, while EMPHASIZING Masculinity.

The Second Person likewise is Infinitely Masculine and Feminine, but EMPHASIZES Femininity.

Thus the First Person is spiritually Masculine, and the Second Person is spiritually Feminine.

Because both Persons are Infinitely Masculine, however, they can be revealed as "Father" and "Son".

No one said it to my recollection.


At one time there were no women, then there were women.

God created both men and women from and by His power.


It is not gender, identifying, etc. No new teaching whatsoever.

The creation of women and feminiity came from a masculine God.

Please guys tell us where you got this teaching that God must have a feminine essence. This is the first time I am hearing this, being a very strong student of the Holy Scriptures and having revelation from Jesus Christ himself.

Please tell us from what source is this teaching declared by the poster's statement:

"It is imperative that God have a feminine essence"

I have never experienced a relationship with God being a mother/wife. However I have experienced and been brought into the presence of the Lord and he has revealed to me the Father. My relationship is with the Father.

1 John 1:3
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ

John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks


I don't see true worshippers worshipping a mother figure. This is a strange teaching. Please tell me who said that it is imperative that God have a feminine essence.

I respect your point of views but I must politely reject them with all due respect because they are not what I a man in his 40's have come to experience in my walks with the God of Abraham Isaac and Israel.

Sorry Ha, and don't take offence but this will certainly not pass as the faith once given to the first century saints. That being said you are entitled to your opinion and beliefs.

Good Bye!

I politely reject this teaching and in this matter Good Bye!

From where did women originate ? Who created women ?

A masculine God created women. That is a fact.

Just because you reject this evidential reality does not alter the truth.


No one is saying God is a mother, a woman, or has both "genders".

Read my posts. A masculine God created women and femininity.

Where did the characteristics originate ? If not God, then where ?

I've read the C of E may address this issue soon by throwing out God being Father. Admittedly I haven't seen much on this (only read 2 articles)....maybe our Anglican posters can fill us in with what is going on.
Proof?

So your asking as to why the Scriptures define our heavenly Father as masculine - I wonder!

The First Person of God emphasizes Masculinity, and is called Father.

The Bible says that Adam and Eve are the image of God. Thus the Second Person of God is Feminine.

But the Second Person is called "Son", because God the Mother (the Second Person), because a human being, and thus relates to God as Father in his humanity.

4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are very much masculine and to be feared.

The church and the earth are very much feminine and easily prone to mischief.

It is in receiving and loving Himself that the Second Person of the Trinity is begotten. Receptivity is feminine. The Second Person is emphatically Feminine because She receives Her Being from the Father.

The expression of Love between the Father and the Son is the Holy Spirit.

Where is this new teaching coming from Patricius79, as a Christain I have never come across it. Did you recieve this by revelation?

Thank you kindly.

It is stated plainly in Genesis 1, which says that God's image is male and female, Adam and Eve.

But I don't know how clearly I saw this until I heard others in the Church talk about it. My wife said Jeff Cavins says that the human family is the reflection of the Trinity.

But what helped me most to see what Scripture reveals in Genesis 1 was Mary's Rosera Joyce's "The Future of Adam and Eve"
