CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No.
Yhwh is Perfect, and stated in His Word that He works out (orchestrates) everything for the best for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Nothing He is or does or choose or chose to do, could be done any better at all.
Otherwise,
Yhwh wouldn't be Perfect.

Nope cos women..were created last from man.
Christ had to come as Gods son because thats the order of things PLUS the sinless man was such a rarity...like it had NEVER happened before that only Jesus could have paid the price.
I think women couldnt have sinned in the same way men did.
Anyway God knew what He was doing.

Could God have chosen to become incarnate in a woman? I have to affirm the possibility. To do otherwise would require me to say I know fully the mind of God, & I don't. It would require limiting what God can do, & I'm hesitant to do that. It would require denying a key truth of the creation story - that humankind (male, female, all) is made in God's image, & I certainly accept this truth.

The Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is not just a metaphor, of course, it's how God has chosen to reveal himself (which is why I'm not OK with baptisms in the name of the "Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier").
But I'm not sure the Trinity has implications for gender roles... that's another subject. I do believe that men and women are different (though not necessarily in an essential way), but I also believe they are equal.

God's Word says otherwise, often. It would completely destroy His integrity .
In some countries they think god could come to them as a bovine(cow).
No such chance.
God's Word cannot be changed, and especially what is opposed to His Word cannot be accepted. He designed everything perfectly, absolutely perfect, and always PLANNED the best and executed it His Way perfectly.
No, you don't have to, and should not.
Men have been doing that same thing for thousands of years.
Denying God's own Word to replace it with their own, whenever they 'felt' like it,
whether to gain attention, advantage, money or power over others.
Stick with God's Word, as He says to.

I believe God could have come in the flesh as a woman. Afterall, God can do anything God wants. However, think about the place of women in the society of Judea 2016 years ago. Ears would have been closed to a woman's voice and the movement would have been harder to gain traction. If nothing else, the times required what God sent.

Of course he could.
God can do anything he chooses. That he, our Creator, should come to inhabit his creation at all, is awesome - it would be wrong to suggest that he could only have come in one particular form.
And yes, I know I used the word "he" as does Scripture. But God isn't an "it" and to say male/female every time we spoke of him, would just some clumsy and confusing. Jesus said that God is Spirit - spirit doesn't have a gender.

Assuming an alternative history where the dominant culture was matriarchal rather than patriarchal, I can't see any reason why the Logos couldn't have become incarnate as a woman.

Would God be God, if He wasn't always omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent - all knowing, present everywhere throughout time, and infinitely powerful ?

Sure, theoretically. hard to see how he'd get much traction in an ancient patriarchy as one, though.

God would have had the ability to do this but it was not his plan.
