Is the Word of God Feminine?

In Genesis 22.2 the word love first appears in scripture at the beginning of a passage where Abraham (meaning father of many) took his only begotten son into the land of Moriah to offer him as a sacrifice upon a mountain.

Some 2200 years after Abraham was born, God (the Father of many) took His only begotten Son into the land of Moriah to offer Him as a sacrifice upon a mountain.

Golgotha, the place where Christ was crucified is a peak in the Mountain range of Moriah.

Isaac, (meaning laughter) is mysteriously omitted from the Genesis story for two chapters, and the next time he appears is when he receives his bride, Rebekah.

Christ (The bringer of eternal laughter to mankind) has been mysteriously omitted from the history of man for two millennia, and the next time He will appear is when He receives His bride. (John 3.29. Matthew 25.10)

Abraham’s senior servant, Eliezer, (which means God comforts) who wields Abraham’s power over all of his possessions, is sent by Abraham to find a bride of unusual faith for Isaac.

God’s Holy Spirit (who Christ called "the comforter") who wields God’s power over all of creation was sent to earth by God to find a bride of unusual faith for Christ.

Abraham possesses the fire and the knife and Isaac bore the burden of the wood.

God possesses the Holy Spirit (revealed in the burning bush and tongues of fire) and the power of life and death, and Christ bore the burden of the cross.

Abraham had two sons; the son of the flesh, Ishmael, born first, and the son of the promise, Isaac, born afterwards by a miraculous conception.

God had two sons; the son of the flesh, Adam, born first, and the son of the promise, Jesus, born afterwards by a miraculous conception.

Isaac in this foreshadowing prophecy Is Acting As Christ, (Mnemonic) the only one of the Trinity to be revealed openly.

Abraham is playing the part of God and Eliezer is playing the part of the comforter the Holy Spirit.

All of them are male.

Genesis 41:32 KJV

And . . . doubled . . . twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

DOUBLED TWICE

Doubled twice being “God's signature” (Gen 41.32) it is obviously not just coincidence that the word love first occurs in Genesis 22.2 (incidence number 2 of 222 in scripture) where it uncovers the love of the Spirit, while Genesis 2.22, incidence number 1 of 222 uncovers the love of man, but notably the word love is not used to describe it.

Here are the two scriptures.

Genesis 2:22 KJV
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (the first time Adam saw Eve.)

Genesis 22:2 KJV
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. (the foreshadowing of the crucifixion of Christ.)

1 Corinthians 15:45-47 KJV

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. [46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Knowing that Christ is number 2 in heaven (John 14.28) and that the numbers were only put into the Bible about 400 years ago only serves to further confirm that there is no coincidence with God.

[10] Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Isaiah 46:

God has laid abundant evidence in his word to reveal the nature of the Godhead and the three characters that he chose to reveal the foreshadowing prophecy that you read above are all male.

There are many foreshadowing prophecies in the Bible about the Godhead and they all reveal the same thing.

God is not the author of confusion.
So with most of those i agree. The genesis 2:22 and the 22:2 that one doesn't work at all.

So to clarify, i am not speaking about Jesus' body. Which i will concede would have been male in order to fulfill certain prophecies. I am speaking of the "Wisdom" In the book of Proverbs, who was there in the beginning. That character is clearly a Feminine character. If this "Wisdom" is tied to the "Logos" of John, than you can come to the conclusion that within the Trinity before the "Incarnation" there was/is a feminine person in the Trinity.

It also makes sense to have a feminine aspect within the trinity if it was said twice that God created humanity in its own likeness, male and female "Genesis 1:27 & Genesis 5:1-2".

If you want to have an all male Trinity, go ahead...

Try reading the book through the lens of life, rather than looking to life through the lens of the book....

Well.. It kind of matters to what G'd actually is.
Father and Son and Holy Spirit > three Persons of family caring and sharing love. And He is "Spirit", Jesus says in John 4:24.
Look, if we are created in the image of G'd, Male and Female, as it is said in Genesis.
"in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" > in Genesis 1:27.
Than it would naturaly follow that "So Above so below". If G'd is a Trinity (Yhwh, Wisdom and Spirit(depicted as a dove)) than it would also follow that we share in that image of trinity as male, female and our spirit(which in my opinion is snakelike).
How did you get the idea that our spirit is "snakelike"?
If this is the case than we as males should give females the same power as the father gives the son. Like how to logos gives life so does the female in our trinity.
Jesus rose from the dead "a life-giving spirit" (1 Corinthians 15:45. And Jesus in each of us can minister His own life. So, yes a lady with Jesus in her can minister His life.

Snakes, by the way, don't do this.
Its just exploring the nature of G'd. Because i think people tend to make it more complex than it really is :D
I think God is more complex than any of us can "make" Him. His ways are "past finding out" (in Romans 11:33).

But we can submit to God and discover how He guides us in His ways of His love.

Hi :D

I Think the "the word" of G'd to be feminine in nature based on various passages of the bible.
It also makes more sense to have a female aspect within the trinity given the claim that humans
are made in the image of G'd.

Lets start with Proverbs 8:22-31. In the book of Proverbs we encounter the character of Wisdom.
throughout the text we read that this character is feminine in nature and that it was with G'd from
the beginning of creation.

In my opinion this character of Wisdom is the same as the Logos of John, for and through which everything was created.
This Wisdom became flesh and dwelled among us through the body of Jesus, the messiah.

What do you think?
Is the Logos feminine or masculine in nature?
God is like the mother hen. There is no female in the trinity however.

"How did you get the idea that our spirit is "snakelike"?"
Well its by the serpent that Eve begun to ponder... I know that most of us here believe that miracles occur. But the last time i checked, snakes don't speak. So that snake in my opinion is more spiritual than a real snake.
was it not said
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.​

"I think God is more complex than any of us can "make" Him. His ways are "past finding out" (in Romans 11:33)."
I don't think that is necceraly true. He would be as complex as a person trying to completly figure out another person. I am not trying to figure out G'ds steps(G'ds steps for mankind are kinda obvious, right?). We unraveling figuring out what G'd is.

I know that that view is widely accepted. I know that most people here think that the trinity only have males. But there was a time that Asherah and Yahweh was a thing

Jesus is the holy spirit. Jesus isn't a woman.

Scripture says it's Jesus.

No. I don't want to make resumes and explain also because i would need to search for stuff, but no, the Trinity, Is the Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit.

Isaiah said Jesus will be called the everlasting father. Jesus must be the father.

No, is not like that, search for something explaining the Trinity, it would explain, i think is impossible to understand, but is a important teaching..
