2 Corinthians 6:8 said:By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
If we want to be precise, it is for His pleasure

He spoke to men. He said, 'this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased..' That's why Jesus called Him the Father. No guessing needed. Now, if you want to get into the third person of the trinity, I don't know.How do you know God is a HE? or She, or It for that matter. Since you were created by God then I have the right to use you at my pleasure?
Darn straight. Although I can't decide if it is more like a bent nail, or a straight jacket.I have a spiritual realm. Its in my head. In it, I created the universe. you have no right to claim that i cant because you cant know anything about this spiritual realm. hows that logic?
Not sure, but please try to deal in at least some science on this forum. Thanks.There us something that makes the really far out marginal people go to the religion camp, here. Dont see any of the really extreme, confused people talking science. Why is that?
Hybrids, breeding, and tweaking things created, is not creating. Go create a salad, now, be happy.Here you go! Glad to help!

So Jesus is not the son of God, then, according to you, and has no dad. OK. Thanks for clarifying your position. Someone open a window.. ..QUICK!God isn't a "he".
God does not have a sex; the terms he and she denote male or females of the human race. God is not a human, nor is God a male or a female.
Therefore, God is not a he.
I wonder why God is referred to as a he in the Bible, then? Why not a she?
Let's be clear here, I do not cower from redshift, lightspeed, evolution, radioactive decay processes, or anything else. I invite actual misconceptions of so called science. I take the bull by the horns. Then, I rip them out, neuter the bull, and serve it up rare for the lurkers. Is that bad?Oh, the delicious irony.
IIRC, the original Hebrew uses a generic "it" which was translated as "he" to avoid objectifying God. As for Jesus referring to God as his father rather than his mother, it makes sense for that to happen in a patrilenial society. The lineages of Jesus's parents are traced through the fathers, not the mothers, after all.I wonder why God is referred to as a he in the Bible, then? Why not a she?
Yes, being delusional is generally not a good thing.Let's be clear here, I do not cower from redshift, lightspeed, evolution, radioactive decay processes, or anything else.

Since Jesus referred to God as HE, HIM, FATHER, and since He taught us to pray, "Our Father, Who art in Heaven..." --- and since we are followers of Jesus --- I, for one, plan to refer to God as HE, HIM, FATHER.So you believe God is male?
