Please be specific about why thousands of verses use male nouns, male pronouns, and male verbs for God the Father.
Well in the cultural context of the Ancient Near East masculine imagery makes a lot of sense, given the general patriarchal tone of that culture. Simultaneously the Bible frequently challenges cultural motifs in order to assert that God is greater than human category.
In the Ancient Near East divinity was often depicted visually--in anthropomorphic and animal (or hybrid) forms. We see this happen, for example, when Moses ascended the mountain and the people pressured Aaron to make a golden calf. But the Bible routinely undermines and denies trying to turn the real God into something you can see--in the image of man or beast. So when Moses climbs the mountain and desires that God reveal His glory, God says, "No one can see Me and live". There is a thick cloud of darkness, impenetrable to human sight. St. Paul will, much later, speak of how God dwells in "unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see".
The Prophet Isaiah affirms the infinite and unfathomable reality of God, "To whom will you compare Me?" and also "My ways are not your ways, neither are My thoughts your thoughts".
This is why the great theologians of the Church have always confessed that our cataphatic affirmations about God are limited. So that, for example, Thomas Aquinas has written, in his Summa, "We cannot know what God is, but only what He is not." Centuries earlier St. Gregory Nazianzus had written in his Theological Orations, "What God is in nature and essence, no man ever yet has discovered or can discover."
This is why we do not meet God in His incomprehensibility, we meet God in what He has done--most definitively: We meet God in the flesh and blood, the life, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
To, therefore, assert that the use of masculine language about God indicates God is male is no different than to assert that any form of anthropomorphic language means God has eyes, hands, a mouth, etc. Which, of course, to assert positively would be obvious idolatry. To think that God is, fundamentally, a giant sky man, is a very Pagan idea. But it is entirely contrary to the Biblical revelation, and what both Jews and Christians have always believed about the one true God. We do not worship a giant sky man. We worship the incomprehensible Creator--and we do not claim to know Him as He is in His unknowability--but in the knowability of His Son who became flesh, in Christ.
Again, the things I'm saying are ordinary Christian doctrine. Don't believe me? Go ask your pastor.
